Daughter And Symptoms Question

[juljoh70]

Hi Everyone,

I am new here and have a couple of questions. My 4 year old daughter emily has had some pretty horrible health since November of 2005 and I would like to compare her symptoms to see if anyone else has the same.

She has been ill (vomiting) over 15 seperate times since november. He has leg pain almost every day, and headaches, sometimes fever but not always, we have just recently found she has two teeth rotten (molars) and she has had to have fillings as well. loose stools palish in colour. very irritable and sensitive (emotionally) and periodic nose bleeds.

These symptoms sort of come in bouts not all the time... and they seem pretty cyclic. About every 2-4 weeks she is sick again.

At first the doc said it is because her first year in kindergarten kids pick stuff up then I went back and he said it is a little excessive so they ran a general blood pannel and found that she has low blood sugar, Low everything but high inr (inflamattion) and high platelets which indicates infection.

So he mentioned celiac and we did the test for it almost two weeks ago and so far we are still waiting for the results.

I have heard a lot of symptoms but not so much about vomiting...

I am very concerned and it kills me to just be sitting waiting for results

Any insight would be so helpful..

Thanks

Julie

My daughter had projectile vomiting, but son had no vomiting and D. It varies with everyone. I hope the blood work is conclusive. It's hard to get an accurate diagnosis under 5. A diet trial might be the way to go. If you decided to have a scope done to get biopsies, don't try the diet until after the scope.

Our 5 year olds primary symptom was loose fatty stools, lack of energy and she had cavaties as well.

My daughter had the vomitting... she was diagnosed with ulcers in her lower intestines. There was a reflux issue, not with her esophogus, that was causing the vomitting. She's been put on Prevacid, and hasn't vomitted since!

She has a billion other symptoms, and blood work came back inconclusive to Celiac, very conclusive to Gluten Intolerance, and the scope came back negative for Celiac, but positive for ulcers in the duadenum which is consistant with Celiac.

Thanks for the replys...can you tell me with the vomitting was it periodic or constant...

I am allergic to milk so when I drink it I know right away but she seems fine most of the time but has bouts of vomiting. The leg pain is more often but could be growing pains. The headaches go along with the vomiting...

You wouldn't know she is so sick from looking at her.

it is taking forever to get information on her condition we are in canada...does this process normally take months?
