I emailed the newspaper about this, because reading the article it also says that she's vomiting, doesn't want to go to school, gets so upset that she's making herself physically ill, and is very quiet and clingy to the teacher when at school.

I told them that she should probably at least be evaluated for celiac because a lot of what they're describing fits. It's something that they should at least follow up on. I also gave them our website address to forward to the parents.

The picture of her just breaks my heart. The poor little girl looks so exhausted and miserable.

:(

I'm in the UK and I read that article (but in a different paper)

In the paper I read it was blaming her depression on the local authority who wouldn't let her go to school where her friends went.

Thinking about it the symptoms do fit (possibly)

Even more worrying is that my 11 yr old son was recently seen by a paediatrician who thinks he may be depressed.....

How sad, I can't even imagine a child that young on antidepressants. What she needs is love and support, and working with a professional isn't a bad idea. The world is becoming so screwed up...I remember being a kid, and I was like that...made myself sick when I was scared or stressed. It was tough. But I had a good, supportive family, and they helped me through things.

Drugs aren't the answer to everything. Heck, they're not the answer to much...what people need is structure, and proper education to learn how to help themselves and each other through things.

I hope that she gets the help she needs.

Sorry to disagree, but it sounds more like she is being a brat to me. She seems to be throwing one long temper tantrum, and her parents are pandering to it. I have moved around a lot (Daddy was in the Army, and we moved every time he got transferred), and I always adjusted. That little girl would, too, if her parents would change their tactics.

:lol: That's a definite possibility too. Doesn't hurt to bring celiac up just in case. But, having a 4yo myself... :rolleyes:

I hope things turn out well for everyone involved.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
