    Thanks for your reply. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. My internet has been off and on for about a month and a half. AT&T has been having problems with it. Thanks for reminding me about lotions. I totally forgot to check that. Thank goodness it has gone away. My forearms now have scarring on it that looks like I've had a bad burn...

    Hi ang1e0251, Thanks for your reply. I didn't get it tested because we don't have insurance anymore. With all of my daughters health problems they raised it twice in one year and we couldn't afford it anymore. The itching isn't as bad as it was, but the bumps are still there. We are double checking everything we eat now and we are making sure we are...

    I posted this under someone else's topic in another catergory so I thought I would repost it here. I am dealing with a crazy rash on my arms. Mine are tiny red raised bumps that are forming a huge raised patch on both of my forearms and are now extending up past my elbows. They are extremely itchy. I don't have blisters that I can see, but when I scratch...

    I too am dealing with a crazy rash on my arms. Mine are tiny red raised bumps that are forming a huge raised patch on both of my forearms and are now extending up past my elbows. They are extremely itchy. I don't have blisters that I can see, but when I scratch them I can feel a watery liquid. Even though it has raised bumps my skin feels slick like everything...

    Hi, my daughter is also 17 and just recently diagnosed. Everything hit her about a year ago this month and it took them a while to figure it out. One of her main symptoms was the vomitting due to the casein in dairy products. Everytime she ate or drank dairy products she would throw up not from the wheat. When I suspected her to have celiac I took her...

    My daughter and I are gluten free as she has celiac. When my husband eats our gluten free foods he gets diarrhea and cramping really bad.

    Hi, We tried a pharmacy in Canada and after waiting for the medicine for 4 months and 5 emails asking why we haven't received it they sent us an email in April saying they were closing their doors because it was too hard to get the medicines into the U.S. According to the doctor he can no longer prescribe it anyway. Thanks anyway, I appreciate your comment...

    Hi, my daughter is 17 and has celiac, DH, casein intolerance, and gastroparesis. Her celiac test was negative after a two month gluten-free diet. In January the doctor told her to start eating bread products again and she started breaking out in a rash on her hips. He said he thought it was a vitamin def. rash and to give her a multi. He also told us about...

    My daughter has these same bumps on her hands and they also popped open. At the time she also had cold sores on her lips and canker sores in her mouth. I thought hers was the herpes simplex virus which can also spread to your hands. I'm not sure now after seeing your pictures. Did they check for the herpes simplex virus. She is not officially diagnosed...

    Janet, We did tell her doctor about her being gluten free and he still wanted to do the blood test. We also told him that she was feeling somewhat better eating gluten free and he said to continue it, but also keep her off dairy since she is lactose intolerant since this all started. She is not on the new medication yet, we have to order it from Canada...

    Thanks to all who have replied. She does have severe nausea and occasional vomiting. The vomiting was much worse before she went gluten free. I'm hoping its not permanent. The doctor told us she would have ups and downs with it. Is there a specific diet for it? Her doctor hasn't told us too much about it. I've read some online about it. She has another...

    She had a test at the hospital where she had to eat something and then they took exrays every 15 minutes to see how her stomach was emptying. He said that it wasn't emptying like it should. Thanks for the information though.

    My daughter was diagnosed with gastroparesis. We are still waiting on the celiac panel to come back. I don't think it will be positive because she has been gluten free since Oct. What can you tell me about gastroparesis. They want us to put her on some medication that you can only get from Canada since Reglan makes her sick. Thanks, Claudia

    He did say that she probably has esophagitis based on the endoscopy the other doctor did. He is going by all of her records from the other doctors that she has seen. We just went in to get a second opinion on the GERD and IBS. He said he might do another endo after these other tests, but we are going to wait until the results come back to procede further...

    Update: The new gastro doctor ordered a blood test for celiac even though she has been gluten free since Oct. He also suspects gastroparesis and she is going for a test tomorrow to see if she has that. We should get the celiac panel back in 3-4 days he said. I asked if this test would show celiac even though she is gluten free and he said yes. We shall...

    My 17 year old has been getting sick since Aug. We suspect Celiac, but is not confirmed. Since all of her symptoms started she has become lactose intolerant. Levison and many other medicines have lactose in them. Be sure to check all medicines for lactose and gluten. Claudia

    Fiddle Faddle Hi, thank you. I made her an appointment with a new gastro doctor in Tulsa. I know one of the doctors in the clinic is familiar with celiac, but she will be seeing the one that takes paitents under 18. Hopefully this will work out. Her appt. is Dec. 17th. I will post an update then. Claudia

    Update. Friday I took my daughter back to her gastro doctor. I took a list of all of her symptoms and asked about celiac. He told me that she couldn't have it because she hasn't lost a lot of weight (10 lbs lost). He told me he could do a colonoscopy but at 17 there wouldn't be anything there. He diagnosed her with IBS. I also told him that since all...

    Hi SBJ. Thanks I will have her checked for those. Diabetes runs in both of our families. Her old doctor used to test her for it before he retired but I don't know if any of the others have. That's what happens when I let her dad take her (lol!) He doesn't know what to ask for or tell them. Claudia

    Purple: Sorry to hear that your daughter also suffers like my daughter, but glad that hers cleared up on a gluten free diet and with vitamins. Mother of Jibril: Thanks, I will take her off all dairy to and see what happens. They did test her thyroid and said it was negative. I have her on a thyroid supplement anyway to see if it will help. She...

    Hi. She is trying to wean herself off of the medicine, but her nausea is still bad. The reglan really isn't helping so for the last 3 days she hasn't taken it. I took her to a health food store and the lady there said she thought it was her thyroid and had us get a supplement for that and digestive enzymes. She is also taking a multi with a lot of B bitamins...

    Hi. Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I am being careful with the cross contamination. I bought all new supplies for her. She doesn't eat toast so no new toaster. I haven't done any baking with any wheat flour since she has gone gluten-free. She is scared to eat out so she just eats at home. Can she drink dairy ease milk or should I eliminate all dairy...

    Hi. During this summer my daughter started feeling nauceus. She also was having sinus problems. In August she started vomiting after eating and had heartburn. Her doctor was out so she saw another one. The new doctor said it was a sinus infection and Gerd. She can't tell when she is hungry and says she is always full. She had diarrhea, but now is always...
