What Could This Be?

my 12 year old daughter has been gluten free for almost 4 years.

starting last monday night, she has been having serious abdominal pain.

at first we thought she had pulled a muscle in jazz class that afternoon, so we tried ibuprofin, hot showers, heating pad. tuesday she went to school but was in pain. wednesday she was unable to go to school, i took her to a local fast pace clinic. they ran a urinalisis, bloodwork, and an xray. by thursday still no relief, i took her to her pediatrician, who ordered an ultrasound and told her to get on a low fat diet on top of her gluten free diet. friday was no school, that night she tried to go to a bday party for a classmate, made it 30 minutes and i had to go get her. saturday she and 2 friends went to eat with her bio father, she laid down in the vehicle most of the ride (45 min each way) and left the table a few times during the meal. sunday she made it though church and lunch but then had to lay down most of the afternoon. monday was also unable to go to school. today, tuesday, was finally the day for the ultrasound. it was completed by 9 am. it is 3:15pm right now. i have called the doc office at 1130 and the nurse said she would call the hospital to try to get results. i have not heard back so i called back at 3. if no one has called me by 4, i am going to the office to get them to get me some results, now. we made her go to school today after the ultrasound, took her in around 11am. let her wear a therma-care heat wrap to try to help with the pain. she made it till around 2pm and came home in tears. is now back in the bed.

the pain is constant, yet gets worse whenever she eats or drinks anything. this tells me its not an accidental glutening (as of course everyone wants to assume first, myself included) because the pain worsens after eating just an apple or just a drink of tea or sprite.

forgot to say, the bloodwork, urine test, and xray all came black clear.

Oh man! Poor girl!! Has she been constipated at all or is it the opposite? I'm sure they checked her appendix. I hope they figure it out soon!

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
