Daughter In Pain

I have a 7 year old daughter that has dealt with recurring headaches, diarhea, and stomach pain her entire life. We are in the military and live abroad in Italy. I have researched her symptoms for years now. I belive this to be her problem, I just have to deal with the military docs here that are so bad we cannot even sue them(I broke my foot in 4 places and they told me I pulled a muscle). Is there any convincing info. out there for me to bring to the docs here to convince them to test her. They have gone as far to thourally check out her brain, but refuse to administer any allergy testing as the Italians have to do it here due to lack of facilities here and it is very expensive.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Dr. Fasano, who is at the top of celiac disease research works with some folks in Italy. He is at the University of Maryland. You might could look that up and see what is available in Italy.

This is one of the best sites I've found and there are links off of it for symptoms. Open Original Shared Link

I hope that helps. I'll be thinking of you and your little girl.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By Dr. Elizabeth · Posted

      Got so sick from the English muffins as well. I have had no problem with any of the gluten-free products at Trader Joe’s since I was diagnosed with celiac a couple years ago so I was so surprised when I got so sick on the muffins. It had to be the gluten in the muffins because there was nothing else to blame it on.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.
