My daughter has a wheat allergy, not gluten sensitivity, according to her doctors, but the result is the same and sounds very much like your daughter's experience. Her colonsocopy was inconclusive, but her pain and multiple symptoms were not. Once she started a gluten (or wheat) free diet, her pain and other many symptoms slowly subsided and only have returned...

My daughter also suffered with constipation for years since birth and was put on lactalose and then Miralax. She was 15 when we discovered she had celiac disease. She still has struggles with her digestion, but we found that adding magnesium supplements and Fiber Con (gluten free) has helped some. We are trying to get her off the Miralax if possible. ...

with all the new products on the market for gluten intolerance, you should be able to maintain a similar diet for you and for your 6 year old. My daughter, sister and I all eat gluten free and it's become much easier lately. Recently we discovered Udi breads and muffins. They actually are better than most gluten breads. We've found the whole grain and...

It took my daughter a full six weeks to lose the pain completely. We saw some immediate improvement, and then for the next six weeks she got slowly better. Give it some more time--

My daughter is going to be a freshamn at Wake Forest next fall. We've been up to meet the dietician and were completely blown away at all they offer for her-gluten-free breads, cookies baked daily, Thai food, sushi, omelet station, etc.-- all with cooks trained to understand gluten-free diets. I recommend that you meet with the college's dietician and explain...

We have used products processed in facilities that process wheat for three years with only one adverse reaction. My daughter just last week reacted to ONE chip that is gluten free but processed in a non-gluten free facility. She had a full blown reaction for two days from just one chip. But once in three years isn't too bad--

My daughter who has been scrupulously careful about what she eats until last night, ate one Terra Chip that contained wheat. Almost immediately she had the familiar shooting pains in her stomach, her stomach distended so she looked 7-8 months pregnant, and she felt extreme fatigue. Although she is a bit better today, she still has the fatigue and the pain...

My daughter has been gluten free for almost three years now. Each day it gets easier. She has found a ton of restaurants with food she can eat, we have great recipes for almost all her favorite foods, she is resolving many of the other health issues that accompanied the celiac diagnosis, she has been free of the terrible pain for almost three years, she...

It took my now 17 year old daughter almost 2 years to heal completely-- and I'm still not sure she's there. I wonder if the Culterelle could be causing it. Some probiotics can give you lots of gas and belching-- a good sign that it's not the type of bacteria you need. we did not do well on Culterelle either. Try another type and see if that helps.

Our lives were revolutionized by discovering Bob's REd Mill Hearty Whole grain gluten-free bread mix. It works in a standard, cheap bread machine, and is better than any bread I've eaten, gluten free or not. My whole family loves it! And the whole grain is from seeds and other grains that are tolerated and good for you.
