    Thanks for your help everyone. The situation escalated last night, with my daughter unable to sleep due to tummy pain and needing the bathroom. We went to the emergency doctor's and saw the same one from the other day. We confirmed that all the tests were done (Total IgA etc) and also that the IBS medication wasn't working at all. We're seeing the...

    Hi Marlie, thanks for that. I have to ask about Total IgA etc. I'm not convinced they did all those tests - they just said "The celiac test". We have been referred to a gastroenterologist but we might have a long wait to see him/her. Problem is, she's 16, so around here that means she is almost treated as an adult and they won't give me her results - she...

    I saw rice bran in the healthfood store today. That might be an answer to your problems - you can add it to cereals, sauces and all your baking and it will bump up the fibre content nicely. You buy all sorts of gluten-free products with brown rice (wholegrain rice) in them too, which could help. Oh, and I second the fruit idea. Don't forget - frozen or...

    I have really severe vitamin D deficiency problems and osteomalacia (adult rickets), I cannot absorb vitamin D supplements (even the 'activated' vitamin D ones on prescription) and still I wouldn't risk a tanning bed! I have to have intra-muscular injections every 3 months but at least I know they won't give me deadly skin cancer. Oh, and my doctor recommends...

    Boy, I've been there, with a 'failure-to-thrive', food-avoidant, food-phobic pre-schooler who seemed incapable of gaining weight. I remember force feeding my daughter chocolate digestives to fatten her up, and it still didn't work (she vomited it up and then sat on the toilet). The only things she'd eat were chicken nuggets and chips, and rice cakes. Then...

    If I were you, I'd stay gluten-free until the baby is born. Then you can talk to your doctor about a gluten-challenge when your body isn't under quite so much stress, and you can do it with everyone knowing what you're up to and what you're doing, just in case things go horrible bad. Provided you're gluten-free, I don't see that there is a hurry to diagnose...

    Hello everyone, my teenage daughter is 16yo. Ever since she was a baby she's had bowel problems - gas and diarrhea, GERD, projectile vomiting and failure-to-thrive. Her first year of life was constant screaming and little sleep for any of us. She was weaned onto solids at 3 months (we were told it would stop the screaming - it didn't). At 9 months old...
