    Had some blood work done on my daughter Friday, and already got the iron results electronically. Her iron is low, which is what I suspected since she's still so tired. Didn't get the rest of the results yet, but hope to have them early next week.

    Actually, I'm a mom, but her dad does look out for her too. Even though it's been fun watching her compete in 3 high school sports, I'm much more interested in her feeling well again.

    I just called her pediatrician today to request blood work to make sure no other deficiencies are present that they didn't check for. She is taking probiotics to try to get her gut health back in shape and vitamin D. I'm wondering if she could be anemic.

    I'd never even heard of this before. She does have normal periods, and just reading the basic symptoms, I'm not seeing any red flags.

    Thank you so much for all the responses. I am going to spend the rest of the evening clicking all these links and doing some research. My daughter just finished her freshman year of HS and lettered in soccer, basketball and track. Soccer wasn't bad, but basketball season is when everything hit the fan. She had extreme fatigue and we knew something wasn't...

    My 15 year old daughter has been gluten free for about 3 months. She has seen a dramatic improvement in the symptoms, and we're happy with her progress, except for one area. When she plays sports, she immediately gets fatigued. She is a high school athlete, and in her first summer league soccer game last night (she's the goalie), she felt exhausted during...

    I wish I could show you her test results. It's actually very interesting, and addresses all her issues. It showed she produces antibodies to TG3, which are associated with skin related conditions. She's had eczema for years. It also showed she produces antibodies to TG6, which is associated with neurological issues, which could explain her headaches and anxiety...

    Again, thank you so much for the responses. We met with my daughter's naturopath today and she discussed the blood work (wheat zoomer test) and how she had a severe reaction to both the gluten and non gluten part of the wheat. She also has leaky gut. She wants her to do a grain free diet for a month, also no dairy since that makes her feel sick. It's basically...

    Thank you for the response. I believe the test our doctor did was the antibodies blood panel. But the type our doctor uses, is considered more complete, also testing for other issues. Again, this is a test that is probably only used in the wholistic doctor universe. A gastroenterologist probably doesn't use it. The results of the test she had done showed...

    Here is a link to an article that appears to be unbiased, explaining the wheat zoomer test. It is fairly new technology. This is what our naturopath recommended. https://www.holisticprimarycare.net/topics/topics-a-g/digestive-health/1880-the-wheat-zoomer-a-game-changer-for-gluten-testing.html

    The naturopathic doctor that my daughter goes to is the one who ordered the test. We switched to a naturopath because the medical doctors who diagnosed the eczema, reflux, vocal cord dysfuncion (caused by reflux), etc. all treated the symptoms and didn't help figure out what was causing the autoimmune issues she was having. We started by having a food sensitivity...

    My 15 year old daughter had the wheat zoomer test and the results said that she does not have celiac, but she did test high for the gluten and non gluten part of wheat. They said that her body is creating an autoimmune response at the peptide level. It was explained that basically it's just like celiac but without the small intestine damage. Has anyone heard...

    My daughter recently had a food sensitivity test and the food didn’t react to the IgA, so now she is having her IgA levels tested. They suspect the levels are low and that she might have celiac. She also has severe reflux, eczema, fatigue that has gotten much worse the past few months, stomach pain, and anxiety, lactose intolerant. Could there be something e...
