Does My 10 Yr Old Daughter Have This?

I really dont know if my daughter has this. I have been battling dd health problems for 5 yrs. Drs are really no help. I know something is not right. Her MAIN problem is her bloating stomach, when she wakes up it is not that bad, but when she eats she looks pregnant. Her face even swells.

Here are some facts about her.

short stature

overweight (mostly in belly)

Use to have stomach cramps alot (right side), but better now

dry skin, prickly rash appears sometimes after shower

gains weight very easily( unexplained) She is very active

constipation ( I have found that milk causes this for her)

complains of joint pain. She recently had 2 separate ankle sprains in less than 2 yrs apart. 2nd.

one had to be cased

Sounds strange but 2 medicines she was on different times and had strange side effects were Lactulose Caused ALOT of weight gain. And Steroid (for asthma) caused her facial swelling and bloating to go away.

She is very allergic to dust mites, she had a skin prick test done for allergys. Had a food one done and she had a higher reaction to soy. But not enough to say ALLERGIC, but I do believe in Food Intolerances. But he didnt. SO???

Does not have memory problems at all, she helps me all the time with my memory problems. LOL

She was always underweight and short (still is) Dr. says she grows slow, she has been checked for being short and not growing like normal but no concern for him because he checks her height every few months.

RIght now i am going with York Labs for food intolerance test IGG ELISA

But if anyone can suggest what to do i would greatly appreciate it. She may not even have this but something is not right.

She could have Celiac or gluten intolerance. The symptoms vary so much from person to person. Get the blood tests see how they turn out. If you want to try an elimination diet after testing is done, a gluten free diet is not harmful.

Ask your doc to run the celiac panel of bloodwork and see what her numbers are.

If your doctor is unwilling to run lab tests or they come back negative or inconclusive you could have enterolab run tests. They do gluten, ttg, malabsorption, gene, dairy, soy, egg and yeast. They are expensive, but I feel, worth it. www.enterolab.com if you want to check them out. Sounds very much like it could be gluten, soy and/or dairy.

Don't wait to get her tested. The bloating and facial swelling used to happen to me also.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
