Thank you all for the encouragement and positive stories, it really really means a lot.

Thank you so much for replying, I am truly glad to hear that your daughter has completely recovered, I can't wait til we get there. Last night I was begging for these awful pains to leave my son's body and be transported to me, it's extremely hard to watch your child suffer and it's becoming umbearable. It's reassuring to know it could all go away one day...

I am walking in your shoes right now. My 9 year-old boy has been complaining of aches in his legs, elbows and ribs for a couple of years. He also has severe tingling/itching in his fingers and toes. gluten-free for about a month now, he doesn't have headaches or stomach pains anymore, the aches in his bones are diminishing, his fingers and toes are still...

If I learned anything from my experience with my son, it would be that doctors are not gods nor do they have all the information we seek- especially with a disease like Celiac which is relatively new. You must be proactive as far as your kids' health is concerned, of course this is worth pursuing with the doctor, you should exhaust all options until you find...

It must be so hard to witness your baby hurting herself, but please consider her feelings too and how unfair it is that our kids can't eat normally like all the other children. My 9 year-old son's symptoms -severe stomach aches and itching- have convinced him to stay away from gluten because feeling that bad is just not worth it, you are lucky if your little...

Thank you GFinDC, this is really helpful, my husband and I were just talking about B12 shots and how they're mentioned in the forums here, we will request them in our next appointment with the GI in April, I really hope they will help. We bought "Super Nutrition Perfect Kids" vitamins which are gluten-sugar-pollen-dairy-corn and soy free from Whole Foods...

Thank you so much for the advice, I will definitely try the pure essential lavender oil. Have you tried eliminating certain foods from your children's diet, are they gluten-free? I hope they're doing better. Itching sounds like a minor condition compared to other severe symptoms but it is life-altering. The nurses and doctors at the hospital called it "discomfort...

So sorry to hear about your little one Janie, it seems that symptoms hit everyone differently, it's such a confusing condition! I'm really glad to hear that you've improved, it gives us hope, and you're absolutely right about dealing with this in a positive manner, I wish I remembered that more often.

Thank you so much for replying, I honestly don't know what I would've done if it weren't for this website and all the personal stories here, I do hope you always feel well, thank you for your good thoughts and we are sending you some right now as well

Hi Everyone, My son started complaining of stomach cramps that would come and go after he ate when he was 6. After seeing various doctors and doing an ultrasound for his digestive system (he fasted then they gave him the barium as they observed) the doctor said it could be a stomach virus since nothing seemed to be wrong in the images. After some research...
