Could These By Gluten Symptoms

My DD has had the following symptoms for almost two weeks. I have already taken her to the dr last week thinking it might have been her ears and except for the red throat she was fine but we are still dealing with the symptoms. Do you think she might be getting gluten from somewhere or do you think she might be just sick still?

*Symptoms started almost 2 weeks ago

*Crying, screaming and fussing at night.

*Night wakings/restless sleeping

*Won't take bottle on occasions when she is crying and screaming (this is REALLY odd for her)

*Very loose/sometimes jelly like poop with "chunks" or light colored/tan BM's

*Red throat with sores (But no other sick symptoms like fever, etc)

*Loss of or very little wanting to eat.

And no she has all her teeth! ;) What do you think? I have already had her to the dr and he pretty much gave her a thumbs up except for the red throat. But two weeks is a bit long for all this to continue. Do you think she might be getting gluten?? Or should I make another trip to the dr?

Every mom feels for another mom going through this...it's not fun....and what you'd do if you could just trade places with them! anyways, it sounds like a sinus infection or congestion to me. Even if she doesn't have nose drainage, it could be all blocked up causing the screaming adn more pain when she's lying down..as her whold head, ears, etc. would hurt. Sore throat could be caused from drainage down her throat. Doesn't want to take the bottle or eat because she'd have to breather through her nose which she cant'. The poop, I'm not so sure...maybe she has a virus on top of everything else? Did the dr. say anything about the possibility of a sinus infection or bad sinus cold? Could you try a decongestant? What about just really bad allergies? I know when I have them, my throat gets very sore, my head feels stuffy, breathing feels funny, etc...very similar symptoms but without the extreme head/face pain. Good luck!

Well, if it is a virus, it ought to wrap itself up in a couple of days . . . viruses usually only hang around for 10 - 14 days. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer for all the symptoms to clear up. One of my babies is just getting to the end of a nasty hand/foot/mouth type virus, and it has certainly been a couple of rough weeks. This is the sort of thing that makes we want to go back to those paper chains we used in elementary school to show how many days were left before Christmas break.

Has the Dr. done a rapid strep test on her? And (if so) did they send it out for a further culture? That way they ought to be able to determine what kind of bug is causing her sore throat, at least

Good luck!

Nope. He said she was fine otherwise. No cold or anything. No ear problems. No fever. Just a red throat and the symptoms mentioned above.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
