Does Your Child Get Sick Often?

[kbdy]

My dd was dx'd 2yrs ago & it seems that she's always ending up in the hospital for one reason or another. She's had 3 kidney infections (has reflux), whenever she gets sick she ends up so dehydrated that it requires at least an overnight hospital stay if not longer. She recently had rectal prolapse & has to go back to see the ped GI...

Is this "normal" for a child w/Celiac? She gets sick so quickly it's not even funny. I'm so sad for her.

It sounds like she may have other food intolerances and needs some supplementing too.

The most likely food suspects after gluten are: dairy, eggs, soy, corn, yeast, nuts, peanuts and legumes and nightshades.

I would definately put her on a good probiotic to help re-populate with good bacteria and get a good multivitamin, I like the Rainbow line, personally.

My almost 3 yr old gets sick all the time. The only reason we avoid hospitals and dehydration is that she is on a feeding tube due to her failure to thrive....... We wonder the same thing and was told to start looking into a probiodic to supplement her antibodics she is constantly on......
