I'm going to assume that these aren't tatrum screams but attention seeking screams. When you walk out of the room..can he go with to see what you are doing? Does he just want to be by you? Is there something he can help with? Do you walk out of sight and he can't see what you're doing? Maybe he just needs to see up close and personal what you are doing whether its doing the dishes or going to the bathroom. Try not to yell back but when you are on the other side of the gate and he starts to scream, try to talk to him in a quiet voice and tell him that he has to go outside to scream but use quiet voices inside-which applys to playtime too. Do you find yourself asking him what's wrong or why are you screaming when you walk away? Maybe redirect the questions to a easier level to understand like "Mommy is getting some water-is that ok?" Tell him what you are doing and don't be afraid to let him help. My daughter is 2 and we have always let her help with as much as feel comfortable with and now we are at a point that she'll play by herself for a long time in one room quietly while I make dinner or something and she'll just call out to me to make sure I'm close, maybe check on me once in a while but then goes back to playing. Best thing is don't tolerate it and don't show him its ok to scream by always going back to him. When you walk out of the room and he starts to scream, tell him what you're doing and if he can help don't let him until he stops or even just turn your back and tell him you won't talk to him until he stops screaming. Good luck.
