Tolerating Child's Cranky/whiny/irritable Behavior?

We are still waiting for a scope and biopsy. Longest 2 weeks ever and I am sure we have more to wait. My 4 year old is constatly whiny, irritable, ugging her sister etc. I am sure most of it is due to not feeling well. Any advice on how to tolerate this? I know I should have more patience but this behavior is awful. It is also hard to tell my older daughter to ignore her sisters behavior or excuse it. I am also stressed and worried about my daughter and perhaps loosing my cool faster than I should. Any advice?? I so badly wish we could move forward with a gluten free diet.

That's tough! I recommend a time out, for Mom.

Can you and Dad take turns with cranky one? Maybe there is a grandma or friend that could give you a break?

I would try to keep the kids apart with separate activities and areas of the house if possible.

Hang in there!

I have this issue. My daughter is actually now gluten free, dairy free and corn free. Corn especially just makes her CRAZY. I always feel bad when my husband harshly disciplines her during these crazy episodes because I personally know how food can make you feel insane. Not just pain management but really really out of your mind. So I try and make sure she keeps calm and holds it together when we have "accidents" because when she is eating properly her behavior really is lovely. I hope your daughter is able to go on her diet quickly and you see some positive changes.

We had that problem with my son. My husband wanted to punish him severely, but nothing much worked until we got him off gluten. I really didn't think that he could help it. Now it only happens when he gets gluten by accident. It drives me crazy then, but at least I know that it will go away soon. Hang on to that thought.

Hang in there! I agree with trying to find someone who can spell you, so you can get a break.

I ended up caving in on the whole endo thing. My daughter is having hers on December 29th. However, I did tell the GI that I was not going to keep feeding her gluten between now and then after her last painful episode. She felt that she would still find the damage in two weeks, so she agreed.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
