Think My Seven Year Old May Have Celiac Disease

Recommended Posts

My dd, now 7 was a chubby baby and toddler, but when she was two she caught campylabacta, food poisoning, ever since then she has complained of tummy aches, her food poisoning took months to get over with lots of diareah, since then the diaoreah has gone, but she complains almost immediately after eating that she has tummy ache, and she gets the most terrible smelly wind.

She is now a very small 7 year old, who isn't yet 3 stone with a very small appetite, I did put her tummy aches down to nerves for a long while, as they seem to come and go if her Dads about they are worse. However, she is now getting her grown up teeth and they are all coming though discoloured and almost opaque, and I was looking it up on the internet and it linked it to celiac, which is something I looked into a while ago when her tummy aches were at their worst, and I had to take her to the doctors.

So I am now trying to make her an appointment but does any of this sound familiar to yourselves?

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
