Does My Daughter Have It Now?

[ILOVEOMC]

My son was diagnosed in March and his younger sister is complaining of things which make me think she is developing it. She had the blood panel done in May and nothing showed positive. She complains of her tummy hurting, feeling like she is gonna throw up, burping and saying it came up in her mouth, and head hurting occasionally. Do you think she has it too?

Sounds like a possibility. How old is she? Is she over 2? Because if she is under 2 then testing can be inaccurate. She may be starting to develop a problem...I would definitely monitor it closely especially knowing there are other celiacs in the family. Do you know what testing she had done? Some tests are more specific then others.

She just turned 6 and she had the complete panel like my son did. If she is feeling the pain then I think there must be damage and a scope would detect that. I made an appointment with the GI but they can't see her until end of Sept.

Definitely don't want to see her suffer through those symptoms. She is obviously having a problem with something.

Ever considered getting an Enterolab done for her? They test for the gene, gluten sensitivity,malabsorption, and I think other things as well.

Have her symptoms started since being tested?

What is an Enterolab? Her symptoms have gotten more specific and pronounced since the testing. Before the testing when she would complian of these things I thought it was just becase her brother was getting diagnosed and there was a lot ot talk in the house of tummy aches and such. He is doing better and she is still complaining.
