Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 OK, I seriously have the chills. I am so grateful to this support group, because it validates what I sometimes think of as crazy! Priscilla, Marcie, Cheryl, JoAnne, nn, you are all describing my 5yo son! He is a wonderful, sweet, intelligent, kind little boy who happens to have celiac, and he turns into a wicked crab when he accidentally gets gluten. He is ornery and aloof. It usually takes place approx. 24-36 hours later, and lasts about 1-2 days. With this he usually gets the very foul smelling gas. In all honesty, I don't check his bowel movements, as I'm not in the bathroom with him when he is going and he's really good about flushing. Blessedly, this is a very infrequent occurrence, as we are pretty good at the diet at this point, being 2-1/2 years into it and maintaining a 95% gluten free home (the only gluten we have is regular bread for my older son's sandwiches, which has its own toaster and after which we clean diligently). So, we are not alone! It's such a nice feeling! When people ask what will happen if he gets gluten, I just tell them that he will get very sick, and leave it at that. It's nice to know people who understand that it is actually much more than that! Heidi On 9/16/04 12:37 AM, " SillyYaks " <SillyYaks > wrote: > You could be writing about our 5 y.o. son.
