What are your coeliac DC's symptoms of being 'glutened'?

[wolvesarejustoldendaydogs]

DS1, age 4, newly diagnosed coeliac, has been on gluten-free diet for a month. He is ill at the moment - high temperature, headache, diarrhoea (mild so far).

It might just be a bug, but I am wondering if that could be a symptom of being 'glutened' because it started after his first 'gluten-free' school lunch.

Anyone able to share their DC's symptoms of being 'glutened' after going gluten-free? Many thanks.

Hiya, I'm coeliac and my 'glutened' symptoms are stomach pains and loads of bloating, sometimes the pain goes into my shoulder because of the amount of bloating. Diarrhoea and headache are common glutened symptoms according to other people I know but I haven't heard of a high temperature being a symptom. Don't know if that helps at all

My initial symptom is odious farting (which alerts me to the fact I have been "glutened"), followed by diarrhoea, bloating and stomach pains. I don't recall ever having a temp, but I was dxd as an adult, though I know children can have very different symptoms. Have a look on www.coeliac.uk, there is a section for children's symptoms.

With regard to the gluten free school meals, I'm not sure that I would trust them to either get it right, or be adequately avoidinh cross contamination, and would feel much safer providing my DC with a packed lunch if they had CD.

Just been to out of hours GP and DS1 has tonsillitis, so not a glutening episode thankfully.

Thank you very much for your responses. Fruitdrop I know what you mean about the meals. I have been working really closely with the school cook, and he will be at the school for 7 years, so I am wanting the school meals to work out - he is a really fussy eater but he has been eating things at school which he never does at home, so it is widening his eating. Plus at the school no-one has packed lunches so it would make him really stand out. I am working very hard on it to make sure that it works out, so I hope it will.
