  1. Is it possible that my celiac daughter is suffering symptoms from gluten cross contamination but has a negative tTG (11)?
  2. I have read that symptoms can be incredibly varied. In my experience as a father of three, parental instincts need to be followed, even if medical professionals roll their eyes. Lots of the current research I've read is looking at the effects of gluten on the brain and not just the GI system. Have you tried going gluten-free with her to see if that changes...
  3. My daughter's villi were so damaged that she did not have a pain-free day for five months on the gluten free diet. We were told that pathology said her villi were completely flattened to the point that her small intestine interior walls looked smooth- no visible villi upon examination. Gluten free gets easier as you go along and learn the ropes. When...
  4. It makes sense to me that your child's celiac was triggered by the bullying. My daughter's autoimmune response was triggered by a nasty case of the flu. The school district needs to get their act together. The worst we've run into with my daughter's schools are days when kids or parents bring gluten-laden treats to class without any prior notification...
  5. My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease with endoscopy in 2006 at age 9; we've enjoyed 4 1/2 amazing, pain free years on gluten free diet. In November, she became constipated and was flushed with Miralax by our pediatrician. In January (now age 14), she became constipated again and her old Celiac symptoms returned with a vengeance. Constipation...
  6. My 9-year-old daughter has been on the gluten-free diet for over three weeks now and has only minimally improved. The sharp stabbing pain near her navel has decreased but she constantly complains of bloating and dizziness. She is in too much pain to return to school (7 weeks missed, now). For those of you who have been through this before... Is this...
  7. My nine-year-old had the biopsy and blood test last month, both positive for Celiac Disease. We're about 17 days into the gluten-free diet. She continues to have "sharp stabbing pains" near her navel, though those are becoming less frequent. She mainly complains now of a "bloated feeling". She's missed seven weeks of school. We're concerned about her...
