    I cannot figure out how this place keeps getting recommended by people with Celiac. People that I know are super careful will eat there. I was in line one day and I watched them make the food. They would touch the spoon that was in everything they added to the burritos that people were getting and sticking it back in there. I walked out and figured there...

    My child kept complaining and the doctor had me give her Lacaid everytime she had diary. That worked wonders. We did not have to eliminate it and she no longer has to take it. She probably took it for 6 months. Jennifer

    My son had wheat allergies show up on his blood work when he was young. We started testing due to severe stomach pain and oil in the toliet. The dr only recommended we avoid wheat and see if it got better. We avoided wheat, not cross containmation. He continued to have mild symptoms. He was never checked for celiac. When his sister got really sick,...

    Thanks for the replies. She is not getting it from other kids or school. It has to be from products or it is something else. They are currently testing her for other things such as allergies and vitamin deficiencies. I hope they figure it out. I was thinking it might be paper cups we were using, but those turned out to be ok. Thanks again.

    I think my child is getting gluten from some source, which I cannot figure out. If a product is labeled gluten free such as certain Tostitos corn chips or certain Orieda fries, is it for sure safe? If a product has a gluten free label, does it mean that it could not have gotten cross contaminated in manufacturing?? My animals are on grain free diets...

    She was having this symptom in Nov when she had the scope done. Would they have seen this or would they have had to look for it? Are you better off with a food allergist specialist or GI? How is the best way to bring up the 'idea it could be this' to the dr? Thank you.

    I have a 5 year old with Celiac diagnosed by biopsy 6 months ago. She was completely symptom free but started back up with one symptom she had before diagnosis. It is, what she describes, as her throat squeezing. It is almost like she has spasms in her throat, at least that is what it seems to me. She will sometimes say if feels like food is coming back...

    Just letting you know that I found Kirkland-Costco- Multisymptom cold medicine for children labelled gluten free. It is the only one I found labelled gluten free and I looked long and hard. I dread it when they need antibiotics as it is so hard to find out if things contain gluten. Jennifer

    Does anyone know of a gluten free over the counter medicine cold medicine for kids? Mucinex Mini Melts has been my favorite, but there seems to be some question about it. I wonder if the liquid is the same way. Thanks

    So is yours small bowel and transient? Also, is there not anything you can do about it?
  11. kate12345
    I keep wondering if that transient small intestine intussception could be causing pain, too. But the dr has me told me it would not cause pain. I may need to get a second opinion on that. Her dr is a pediatric GI, so I would hope he would know. I have not eliminated dairy yet, but will start today. I have not read the report, but I know they said she...

    I am trying to figure out what to do with my 5 year old. The biopsy came back and she does have celiac. I have had her on gluten free for 11 days. As soon as she starts to eat, she says her stomach hurts. She is on Prevacid, Maalox and Tylenol as it hurts her so much. I only give her Maalox and Tylenol as needed, which is still everyday. Did any of...

    Is the playdough ok as long as she washes her hands after she plays with it?
  14. kate12345
    Great. That helps. We just found out today that the biopsy confirmed Celiac. I have a lot of mixed feelings but really glad that I may have found someway to keep her stomach from hurting. Thanks, Jennifer
  15. kate12345
    My 5 year old has been on a gluten free diet probably 10 days now. Only one mistake that I know of happened. She is better but still complaining of stomach pain. It starts as soon as she swallows a bite for most foods. She especially has not liked fruits when all this started. We do not have the results of the biopsy yet. We should get them anytime....
  16. kate12345
    I should have been clearer. I am the one that has it, not my daughter. I am wondering since they are testing her for celiac, if it may be my problem too. I also have Hashimotos. Cause of POTS was never determined. Lyme was ruled out multiple times. In fact I think everything was ruled out except celiac. I never saw testing for that. I do take a beta...

    I am wondering since my daughter is in the process of testing, if any of you have been diagnosed with Postural Orothostatic Tachycardia Syndrome? If so, did it get better with a gluten free diet? Thanks, Jennifer
  18. kate12345
    I just got through watching my own suffer and the anesthesia was awful. They had her in those splints so she could not move her arms as she had that ph monitor in her nose. The whole thing is just terrible, especially taking the meds away. It is amazing the kids get this sick over this. If the gluten free diet works for them, it would just be wonderful...
  19. kate12345
    Thanks for your input so far. She is much better today as I gave her Prevacid. It makes eating possible for her. I have started her on gluten free stuff and have decided the whole family is going gluten free. Her brother had horrible stomach cramps and I do not let him have wheat, but that is all I avoid with him. But he will too go totally gluten...
  20. kate12345
    I do not know what to do. My 5 year old has been having stomach pain, where she begs me for medicine and screams and cries. She is in a severe amount of pain and she almost panics. She says it hurts all the time, but it certainly gets worse at points. She was put on Prevacid, which seems to help some. She is constantly on Tylenol. She tested positive...

    The total IgA was fine at 89 mg/dl. (range 41-395 mg/dl)
  22. kate12345
    Why would only DGP IgG be positive? If you had Celiac, wouldn't the DGP IgA be positive? Or is the IgG more indicative of intolerance rather than Celiac and that is why they are not both positive? Thanks, Jennifer
  23. kate12345
    For any of you, did jumping around and running make your stomach/abdomen hurt? Thanks, Jennifer
  24. kate12345
    It is my daughter, just turned 5, who has it. She is scheduled for biopsy next week. She is only positive for DGP IgG out of all the tests. I think it was that that triggered them to test for celiac. We are in TX. Thanks
  25. kate12345
    I forgot to say she is on Prevacid 15 mg twice a day, so really I would think it would help more if it was just acid. It does allow her to eat for a few bites. I have to take her off that after today because of the biopsy. I dread it. Jennifer
