10 Year Old Daughter Finally Diagnosed....


Dfalca

Recommended Posts

Dfalca Newbie

Ok I now have a celiacs child. Her tummy aches are finally gone 6 weeks after egd and diagnosis of celiacs. Gluten free diet did the trick. She now has chronic headaches. These are daily and and last most the day. I thought it may be something that she is lacking in her new gluten free diet but nothing has helped. Does anyone have this problem? Heard of this? Any advice?

Thank you

I had a lot of headaches in my first few weeks gluten-free. I think it was withdrawal. If she has been gluten-free for six weeks, I doubt withdrawalus the problem.

Hopefully someone else here can help.

Welcome to the board.

Have her vitamin levels been checked?   I have a suspicion that my headaches pre-diagnosis and even a bit after were due to low levels of B12 and/or D.  Not a scientist, just a suspicion.

I want to add that I really have no idea, and you should ask her doctor whether that's a possibility before adding in vitamins.

I'm glad she's been diagnosed at this early age so that she can have a happy healthy life vs the years of suffering some of us had.

Good luck at finding the cause of the headaches.

Does she drink enough water?

could be hormonal....could be magnesium.....could be withdrawal  ...could be psychological stress, what kid wants a chronic disease?  and, unfortunately, could be some of each! Good luck.

Maybe she is intolerant/allergic to other types of foods?

DD also 10 was dx'd in January.  She also had headaches every day.  It turned out to be stress in her case.  Good luck!

Have you had her thyroid checked?  My daughter use to get really bad headaches before she was diagnosed with a thyroid problem.

      Hi Tibaked If you are diagnosed with coeliac disease, you may find that all sorts of symptoms will be alleviated by a gluten free diet.  GERD and lactose intolerance can be greatly reduced if not eliminated once the gluten-free diet is adopted.  However, if you want to be tested and officially diagnosed you will need to have been consuming gluten until your blood test/endoscopy.   Although I don't have the same sensations you describe before my diagnosis, I frequently woke up with numb arms and numb fingers.  I could feel pins and needles in my extremities.  Weirdest of all, the sensation that drops of cold water, like rain, were falling on me, even though the sun was shining or I was indoors. It took time but things got much better after after following a gluten free diet for a while. Of course,  some neuropathy is caused by malnutrition, common in coeliacs when first diagnosed,  so make sure the doctor checks your vitamin (particularly B12) and iron levels. Cristiana

      Not officially diagnosed yet I goto the doctor a week from today but I'm 110% that will be the diagnosis I honestly can't believe my doctors/health care team hasn't put it together before I mean I'm basically the live and walking definition straight from the book haha I don't think I've ever been so sure on anything before I'm just reqly concerned for this diet I will be living on or diets I guess due to type 1 diabetes, gastroparesis, gerd, celiac disease, and lactose intolerance...what is left? A sand salad with a side of rain water?!? I definitely see a tough future

      Welcome to the forum, @Tlbaked13! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? It is well-known that celiac disease can result in peripheral neuropathy but so can diabetes.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.

      I am COMPLETELY new to this celiac disease however I have had the same feelings and then some with my feet for years now and been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy myself but they blamed and attempted to treat due from my type 1 diabetes and none of the treatment has helped at all so far so possible from celiac disease? Just sharing MY thoughts on this I've had zero confirmation
