My 12yo son was diagnosed as coeliac a few years ago, when he was 8. He was a silent coeliac, and we only discovered his diagnosis after my daughter was diagnosed; unlike her brother, she had every. Single. Symptom. Headache, body aches, bad stomach, tiny stature, constantly ill.
Hes started getting headaches / stress headaches, which are definitely worse when he’s been glutened or when he has a bug; usually forehead pain. He can also have brain fog following gluten exposure.
Does anyone else, especially kids, with coeliac suffer with headaches / migraines? The paediatrician said that a GF lifestyle will stop all symptoms, but this doesn’t take into account symptoms caused by a stomach bug, for instance, that seems to knock him more than your average 12yo.
