I emailed the newspaper about this, because reading the article it also says that she's vomiting, doesn't want to go to school, gets so upset that she's making herself physically ill, and is very quiet and clingy to the teacher when at school.

I told them that she should probably at least be evaluated for celiac because a lot of what they're describing fits. It's something that they should at least follow up on. I also gave them our website address to forward to the parents.

The picture of her just breaks my heart. The poor little girl looks so exhausted and miserable.

:(

I'm in the UK and I read that article (but in a different paper)

In the paper I read it was blaming her depression on the local authority who wouldn't let her go to school where her friends went.

Thinking about it the symptoms do fit (possibly)

Even more worrying is that my 11 yr old son was recently seen by a paediatrician who thinks he may be depressed.....

How sad, I can't even imagine a child that young on antidepressants. What she needs is love and support, and working with a professional isn't a bad idea. The world is becoming so screwed up...I remember being a kid, and I was like that...made myself sick when I was scared or stressed. It was tough. But I had a good, supportive family, and they helped me through things.

Drugs aren't the answer to everything. Heck, they're not the answer to much...what people need is structure, and proper education to learn how to help themselves and each other through things.

I hope that she gets the help she needs.

Sorry to disagree, but it sounds more like she is being a brat to me. She seems to be throwing one long temper tantrum, and her parents are pandering to it. I have moved around a lot (Daddy was in the Army, and we moved every time he got transferred), and I always adjusted. That little girl would, too, if her parents would change their tactics.

:lol: That's a definite possibility too. Doesn't hurt to bring celiac up just in case. But, having a 4yo myself... :rolleyes:

I hope things turn out well for everyone involved.

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
