Still In The Midst Of A Gluten Reaction (m)...

[holiday16]

My dd is continuing to have accidents and she had about 4 last night. When she has gluten what essentially happens is she gets so constipated she gets an impaction and then the accidents are from the watery stool that slips around it. Just lovely. My dh gave her a glycerin suppository last night and within 5 minutes she had an enormous BM that was probably the worst I've ever seen.

Now that we're past this part of it I should be able to judge if she's still getting gluten from school or not. Until the impaction is resolved I can't tell if her irritablitity/accidents are from that or gluten. She seemed better this morning. I'm very anxious to have my nice, sweet little girl back...

I am sorry. I get constipation from gluten, dairy, and maybe too much corn? Still figuring out corn. Hope it passes soon.

Depending on your daughters age (grade level)...do you know if they are doing things like arts and crafts where she is using glue that has gluten in it or if she is really young some schools stuff do art stuff with noodles. Some classes they do stuff with clay type material. Does she share food with any of the kids at school (where they switch a snack they have with someone elses)? Do the teachers give out candy or any type of food that has gluten in it?

Hope she feels better soon.

Holiday,

I know what you are going through. The accidents for us take several weeks to days to resolve, but there is nothing more frustrating then cleaning up after an irritable child. They are frustrated we are frustrated, it just isn't a good time. My sympathies are with you.
