OK we are 2 weeks away from the scope and V is getting sick again. We have decided to keep him home from preschool for the next 2 weeks to make sure he gets better and does not catch anything else. But what I am getting frustrated with is that fact he is complaining his tummy hurts all the time. I called his norm doc and they said try the over the counter tummy stuff. That was doing nothing so I called the GI doc they told us back off the miralax if we want (cant do that cause he clogs right back up) or that we could try zantac for kids, I said lets try that well its been a week at 2 1/2 teaspoons twice a day and his is still complaining. They told me no matter what keep him on the gluten. But what

You can beg to move up the endoscope. Tell them he is in pain and you really can't stand to see him in so much pain. If that doesn't work, just give him lots of love and cuddles and remember that it will be over soon. If your house is not gluten-free, you can use this time to convert over (if your entire house is going gluten-free.) It took us about a week or 2 to get the majority of the gluten-free stuff out of our diets.

You could also call every day checking to see if there has been a cancellation.

thanks for the thoughts, we are moving this week., we have been living with my parents so starting clean will be nice. I will call and see if they will move it up i am thinking they wont because he has been sick with a cold and other things. They keep telling me that they want him 100% and i keep telling them that it will not happen bc this is his time of year that he gets sick easy. I just cant wait to get him off of all the gluten.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
