Thank you all so much for your comments. I will talk more with her if I can get her to talk. It must be exhausting to put on an act of happiness when you feel so bad. I know when I was in high school that is how I felt. She has allergy tests coming up on Friday and hopefully there will be an answer there.... I think there is alot more than gluten bothering...

Thank you Carla....I will look into that and see where I can start with her. Paula< Where in Colorado are you? I was born in Alamosa and frequently visit my parents who still live there. Thanks for all the responses... Kelly

I have been gluten-free for 4years, she has been gluten-free for almost 2years. She did see the improvement, but once again this summer has been filled will illness. Of course it's not like the school year is any better. She has times when she gets a virus and then another one and then another one.....her lymph glands swell to the size of a garbanzo bean...

We live in Arvada Colorado...my daughter 15yrs is having really bad problems with DH, and allergies. She had been tested (blood & skin). Both came back negative and inconclusive. She has other allergies anyway and asthma. She is having physical and emotional problems because of this...her friends don't understand why she is always sick, why she can...

Thank you so much for responding. Both my children have been tested (blood for both and endoscopy on my youngest) and they all came back inconclusive...so she may not have Celiacs, but could have DH anyway. I am so proud of the fact that both my children have been gluten free for 2 1/2 weeks now....so I will find that dermatologist and MAKE them do what...

I am so worried about my 13 year old....she has had "eczema" since she was born, and treatment helped before the whole steroid thing, but now it is worse. I looked on the internet because I have Celiac Disease and my sister informed me it is possible to have just the DH and no GI stuff....well the photos on one website looks just like my daughter....she...

Hey there, I'm a new old member. I have been gluten-free for 1 1/2 years and still have some problems...one of them is absorbtion. I have a very difficult time digesting anything much less vitamins. I can't eat many vegies because I get sick. So the vitamins pills are out. I tried to do the liquid vitamins, but those make me feel sick too. GI doc said...

Hello there...I haven't posted in awhile....but I visit to read on how everyone is. My name is Kelly, I live in Arvada Colorado, I'm 35 years old, married for 14 years, and have 2 beautiful daughters 12years and 7years. Also the proud owner of 2 mini schnauzers 6yrs and 1yr which I adopted from the pound. I was diagnosed on April 26, 2004. I started...

Hello out there...just thought I would let you know....I went to Red Robin in Arvada, CO and they were very accomidating. The manager brought out food labels and after a couple of questionable ingredients she offered chicken breast, plain rice and steamed vegies...the plate she brought me was huge and tasted great. Apparently one of their own employees...

Hey there...just thought I would let you in on what we have found in our family. My mother, sister, as well as previous family members on my mom's side and myself all have Hashimoto's. My oldest daughter also has Thyroid fluctuation which the doctors believe to be the beginning of Hashimoto's...although I intend on stopping that before it gets to the medication...

Aimee, My 7 1/2 year old has had a rollercoaster ride since she was 2years old. She was a difficult infant and toddler...always very weepy especially when it came to feedings. As far as behavior now...she has been diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar Disorder. BP does run on her father's side, but I always thought her behavior always rotated around food...

Mom22, I am so glad I came across your recent update. I know that I will be requesting a second opinion as well tomorrow and maybe there will be answers. I cut the GI doc I had seen out of the picture today. I had my daughters blood test drawn at the pediatric office I work at and the results will come to her PCP. So I will request a second opinion...

Hi Mom22, I read your post and it really touched me. I am sorry things aren't going that great for you. I do have a similar situation with my daughter and I am alittle upset about it. My daughter had her biopsy and the GI doc said it was inconclusive, there were patchy spots... The GI doc said this just means there may not be damage to the entire intestine...

Thank you for your response. I think my intestines feel bad because they are a mess. The GI doc said he hadn't seen blood test results as high as mine, and the small bowel matched it. I talked to his office today and I am going to be sick for awhile because he irritated an already irritated part of my GI tract. I also am sicking with clear liquids, rice...

I am just wondering if anyone else has had this experience after their endoscopy. I had mine done on Monday afternoon...and I haven't been able to eat anything, just keep drinking Gatorade. My abdomen feels like it was pulled out and I have a fever. I called my GI doc and he thinks it may be the flu...I have felt like I had the flu off and on forever so...
