My five year old is constantly having a hard time breathing. Every fourth or fifth breath she takes in one big deep one. shoulders up to the ears. I went to my doctor and he said he couldn't find anything, lungs were clear. Then he told me to put her on Singular which I believe is a steroid of some sort. He gave me a sample and and said take and it should go away. well that is when I did the enterolab tests instead and found our she is intolerant to gluten dairy, eggs and yeast. I never did give her the Singular.

lasr night she was really having a hard time. today my stomach is giving me problems and it is hard to breathe and and feels like my throat is closing but it is actually a bit of reflux. then it clued in . i wonder if that is why she can't breathe well. Maybe it is from relfux or gas or something. Does any body else have have trouble breathing form pressure in there stomach esphagus or diaphram. Hust looking for answers with out panicing. I am waiting for the lab results for my husband before we start the gluten and dairy free diet and of course egg andyeast for her.

Hey!

I have trouble breathing, too - although I am not sure what it is from. Does your daughter have asthma? I used to have it bad when I was her age too. I know that what I have now is not related to that, but I think it is related to acid reflux.

Sorry that I can not help very much! :(

There is Asthma in my family. My sister has it and my grandma and aunt. i thought no it couldn't be because there is no congestion and her lungs seem clear. maybe I don't know what to look for. My sister was always wheezing but my girl never does.

      So, you have a couple of strikes against you when it comes to nutrient absorption efficiency.

      Yes, through a biopsy of the small intestine.

      Weird Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Vozzyv, Certain nutritional deficiencies can cause tinnitus, ringing in the ears.  Vitamins A and D, Thiamine B1, Riboflavin B2,  Pyridoxine B6, Folate B9,  Cobalamine B12, magnesium, zinc and Vitamin C can cause tinnitus individually if deficient.  The malabsorption of Celiac Disease affects all the nutrients our bodies need.  Many of these nutrients work together to keep us healthy.   Talk to your Nutritionist and doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals while healing.  Eat a nutritionally dense diet.   Tinnitus has been bothersome to me, but supplementing with the B vitamins, especially Thiamine, Vitamin C, and Vitamins A and D has really helped me.

      Possible (Non)-celiac gluten sensitivity(?)

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @green-blossom! You can develop active celiac disease at any stage of life. It involves possessing the genetic potential plus some triggering stress event that turns the relevant genes on. NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) is 10x more common than celiac disease but some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. There is no test at this point in time available to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. The difference between the two conditions is that celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel but NCGS does not. They share many of the same symptoms. Without formal testing, there is no real way to definitively diagnose celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop active celiac disease. So, DNA testing can only be used as a rule out measure, not as a diagnostic measure. Formal testing for celiac disease is normally a two step process. The first step is serum antibody testing. The inflammation of the small bowel lining caused by gluten ingestion in those with celiac disease produces characteristic antibodies that can be detected in the blood. If one or more celiac antibody tests are positive, there is usually a second step of diagnosis involving and endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to microscopically check for damage to the mucosal lining. This is done for confirmation of the antibody testing but it sometimes foregone if antibody test scores are extremely high. Please hear this. If you intend to pursue formal testing for celiac disease, you must be consuming generous amounts of gluten leading up to the testing dates. That applies both to the serum antibody testing and to the endoscopy/biopsy. If you eliminate gluten from your diet ahead of testing for even a period of weeks, the inflammation will cease, antibodies will begin to disappear and healing of the small bowel lining will begin. In other words, the things the diagnostic testing is designed to look for will disappear.

      Possible (Non)-celiac gluten sensitivity(?)

      By green-blossom · Posted

      Hi everyone, I am new here, and have some questions. I recently discovered that ~15 minutes after eating durum wheat semolina pasta, I get a strange feeling in my stomach area. I have been struggling with stomach aches, bloating and difficulty with bowel movements etc for about 10 years now (im in my mid twenties.) I have tried a lot to fix this, apart from adjusting my diet. Unfortunately I can't cook and mostly eat pasta, pizza, burgers and so on. I tried a lot of other things to fix it, like working out, yoga, meditation and so on. It helps a bit, although I never really felt relaxed in my stomach area, which caused a lot of problems in everyday life. I tried going gluten free for one day. Everything I normally eat, but gluten-free. And I felt much better all day and had no problems with stomach aches or bloating. Now my question is: Could this be a case of celiac disease in my case? (I only 'suffer' from digestive symptoms) ... and is it possible to develop this during 'puberty' or at other stages of life in general? No one in my family has coeliac condition. I didn't have the problem until I was 15. When I was 20, a lot of bad things happened and I was very unhappy and also had IBS symptoms due to extreme stress. Should I see a doctor and is it safe to switch to a gluten-free diet for now?  Thank you.
