Stomach Pain

My daughter is 4 and her stomach has been hurting for 5 days now. (since the 9th) ON Sunday (the 11th) My MIL let my daughter (who has celiac) eat pizza that was not gluten-free. Now she is crying in pain about her stomach hurting. Could the extra pain be because of the gluten? :huh:

I called her PCM and the doctor on call said it was just because of the pizza. I'll give her that. I can see that. But I feel awful, my daughter likes her doctors and all but not enough to Request to go to see them. Any ideas or words of wisdom? :huh:

Five days is a long time to have stomach pain. I found that I was usually in pain and had stomach problems for 2 or 3 days if I got glutened and then had another week or so of just feeling fatigued.

I would suggest taking her to the doctor if she doesn't feel better soon.

Well, gluten can and does cause some people discomfort for 5 days and longer. However, that doesn't mean there can't be other intolerances, such as dairy, nightshades, soy, etc, not to mention problems with candida. I would expect the pain to subside soon, but there are some things which are known to help, such as marshmallow root, aloe vera juice, and other stuff I don't recall. Try a search for those and I'm sure some of the other things will also be mentioned in the same discussions.

Hope she feels better soon!

Thanks y'all. She seems to be feeling better today. I'll be glad when she's back to my normal child. We did call the doctor's but they blamed it on the gluten. Which maybe they are right. So we are waiting it out. Again THANK YOU so much!

I find that when I get glutened (or egged or riced :rolleyes: ) and get an awful stomach ache, I take a homeopathic remedy called sepia, which really helps with the pain. Young children can take those remedies, my daughter gives them even to kids under one.

Another thing that calms the stomach is chamomile tea. Kids usually love it if you put a little honey or maple syrup into it (I don't say sugar, because you want to give her something helpful, and sugar is not).

Mint tea is what I use, and I second the use of honey in it. Peppermint, spearmint or lemon balm are all good teas. Chamomile is good UNLESSS one is allergic to ragweed, a common allergen (as I am). It can also cause vomiting if you drink too much.

I don't think it sounds abnormal to have five days of stomach pain from gluten.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
