Need Advice About 3 Year Old'S Symptoms

I first want to say that we have had a lot going on the past few years so I haven't been paying as close attention to symptoms as I should have been. My almost three year old daughter has had loose, foul, smelling stools for as long as I can remember. I took her to an allergist and beef, peanuts came back positive. I also took her off of dairy and apples. She is still having problems. She cries when it is really bad and I have to wipe her bottom. I have suspected other allergies and have taken her off of carrots and peas. (other members in the family have food allergies)

Now I am wondering about Celiac. My eldest daughter is on a gluten-free-CF diet due to her being High Functioning Autistic and it seems to help her but she doesn't seem to have symptoms for celiac.

My three year old cries a lot. Is clingy and just not as happy or content as my other children. It is worse than just the terrible twos.

The other clue, is that she is ALWAYS hungry. She loves snacks! She does eat her food at meals but she will still be hungry soon after.

We are very healthy eaters. Whole grains, meat, veggies, and home baked bread.

Please help! I can't take her to a GI right now because my husband is out of work. I am going to start by trial and error. Should I just put her on chicken and rice diet? I looked up the elliminations diet but that looks ridiculous to do. Any suggestions? Also, we just moved to the country so health food stores are hard to get too.

Thank you.

Aside of the foul-smelling stools, she sounds exactly like my daughter before her diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. She was horrible - constantly clingy, didn't want to go to daycare or leave my side for anything. I got all sorts of advice from weaning her off the breast to letting her cry-it-out at night, etc. etc. I don't say this to scare you, obviously if something is wrong the sooner you find out the better!

Celiac disease is more prevalent with type-1 also, therefore it might be both.

Good luck to you, I am currently trying to decide if my daughter has celiac. Same journey, different order! :rolleyes:

Wow...thank you for replying. That makes me wonder if I should take her in to get her checked.

We started an elimination diet and I already see a difference in just two days. Her stool was better today. I actually can't wait for her to "go" tomorrow to see if there it is even better.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.
