Allergy Testing all came back negative. No Food allergies. So we can mark that off the list and move on. Last night and this morning were bad. She didn't sleep much last night because her stomach hurt so bad: burning, gas, lots of bloating and cramping and "d". I could hear her gut just sitting next to her. I kept her home for a while this morning...

Saw the allergist today and are going to have Food Allergy testing on Monday. We aren't really expecting anything to show up positive, but then again I am not really sure what to expect at this point. I love my allergist though and she agreed that this is the best place to start to begin to rule things out and narrow down the options. She is the first...

Really??? I hadn't seen anything about that and was actually worried that since she is mostly the sickest in the mornings that wouldn't mean it is food related. And of course the drs just say that means she is just trying to get out of going to school (already been told that several times ). But I know my child and I know that she loves school and...

YIKES! That is crazy. Thanks for telling me! We will definitely skip the DNA thing. Sometimes I really wonder about doctors. I am finding it very interesting that it seems that Food companies are more aware of Celiac/Gluten Free needs than the medical community! Even a few obscure things that I have looked up online say whether it is gluten-free or...

Thank you! I have printed that out to keep in my growing pile of reference material. Not sure that I understand a word that it says though! I keep seeing people talk about doing DNA testing? What does that involve and what is the purpose? I am also wondering if these blood tests would be inaccurate if she is possibly in the early stages of this...

The reference range is 33-258, so that would put her at the low end of the range. From my reading here, I see that she has to be on gluten for more testing but at this point I don't think I will be able to convince her dr to do any further testing unless we try gluten-free for a month or so, and then put her back on gluten and see if she gets worse...

I am trying to get to the bottom of my 10 year old daughter's ongoing stomach problems. We are trying her on a gluten free diet and every search that I do to get information on specific products or information keeps coming back here so obviously this is the best place to get advice!
