Varying from mild to intense are stomach irritations (vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, pale stools, swollen stomach), slower growth, frequent infections, hives and rashes, irritability, feeling generally unwell. It is wise to have them tested or look for books available for gluten free foods and recipes to try. Many are available at the library.

The symptoms of a gluten allergy can differ in children. Some symptoms may be: heart burn, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, and minor rectal bleeding. Again, they differ in children so you might not see all these signs. There also could be unexplained weight loss, diarrhea, acid reflux, and itchy dermatitis.

The most common symptoms are skin reactions such as Ecxema, hives or swelling, abdominal distress including cramps, nausea and vomiting, weight loss and respiratory complications such as asthma. A distended abdomen is a telltale sign of gluten intolerance along with impaired growth, poor muscle tone and loss of appetite. The goood news is that children often outgrow the allerg.

If you have introduced gluten into a toddler's diet and see a combination of symptoms such as loss of appetite, sudden behavioral changes, bulky/pale stool, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, swollen or cramping stomach, intestinal gas, underdeveloped arm and leg muscles, failure to grow, skin rashes, mouth ulcers, fatigue or anemia, then it is worth getting an allergy test.

Gluten allergy causes abdominal bloating and vomiting in children. This leads to weight loss. The other symptoms are irritability and retarded growth. There will be a delay in puberty
