Toddler W/celiac?

Please help. My almost 3 year old has suddenly gotten very ill and we are getting very little help from her doctor. Here is what happened.

 

July 7th started with Diarrhea. She had an explosion that came out of the diaper after eating at a resturaunt. It continued all night and then turned into uncontrollable vomiting overnight. We took her to the ER, they said no fever, maybe a virus, follow up with PCM.

 

This continues on July 9th we take her back to the doctor. He says maybe its a virus, to keep her hydrated it should end soon. Diarrhea continues to just get worse, we are changing her several times a day even though shes still in a diaper she is soaking through them.July 16th I take her back and they get a stool sample to see if she has a parasite. July 17th we go back, they still don't know but say maybe a virus and stool sample doesnt have any parasites. Here we are on day 17 of this. This morning her diarrhea was so bad her bed was covered in it when she woke up. It's pale sometimes grayish/yellow. She's lost 3lbs and her eyes are getting dark circles and shes very white. I honestly don't know what to do. The doctors told us to try to cut dairy first, if that doesnt work on friday they want to do a RAST test to test for food allergies.

I wonder if your docs aren't taking you seriously.  I'd encourage taking pictures of the explosions and bringing them with you to the appointment.

I'd keep taking her to the er, she's lost weight and will be getting dehydrated. 17 days of diahrrea is not normal.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done recently?

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
