Hello!
My little girl is 5. I've always suspected something was up with her. Her tummy has always been distended and she has the craziest GAS![:rolleyes:]()
Aside from that nothing major, you know?
But just last Saturday we were out to eat.She ate her normal foods that she likes(corn bread, battered fish,crutons on salad) only she didn't eat as much and she grew very quiet after. After we were done and getting ready to get in the car she vomited right in the middle of the parking lot.
We thought maybe she just ate too much but she didn't really.
She was mostly fine the next day. I remember my DH went out and got Dunkin Donuts that morning. She had like 2 donuts, I forget what she had for lunch(typical pb&J probably)We noticed her cheeks would get rosey almost feverish like after she ate and she started to develop what we now think is a dermatitis type rash on her knee. (I'll post a couple pics)
She didn't want dinner and she was doing bad again.
She was sick all last week. Like a stomach 'bug,' without the fever. She was very fatigued and didn't want to eat much.
I might add that I had the same issues as a little girl, around the same age. The Dr's back then just said 'I would grow out of it.' Who know's what's going on with me. I guess my Mom eventually added it back in small doses. I was also diagnosed with Hashi's Hypo-T about 5 years ago. I think it's the Gluten. I mostly avoid it because I feel better. I had some tests done but I don't think they prove anything. I was already gluten-free for a couple months beforehand, so I ate small amounts the month leading up to testing.
We didn't restrict the gluten last week. She had 'sick,' people food;crackers, soup etc..she wasn't getting better![:(]()
We took it away for two days and she was better! Her brother got into Dad's oreos and snuck his sister one and she got that rosey cheeks thing again and her stomach hurt![:(]()
She has an apt with her Doc on Thursday. I'm going to explain everything I just told you all and ask for testing.
I want to make sure I ask for the right tests. We are a military family and they love to give the most basic/generic tests for everything!
So from doing reading, I've come up with:
~Tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG), IgA
~endomysial antibody (EMA) ??
ttg IgA/ttg IgG
~total immunoglobulin IgA
~Deamidated Gliadin Peptided IgG&IgA
Is there anything else? From what I'm ready the tests for Gluten Sensitivy and Celiac are not different, is that right?
FWIW, I tested negative for the genes. But have some antibodies present and also my total IGA was low( I think???!) 189(44-441)Also, I'm having a terrible time getting my Vit/Mineral levels up.
Ok, I know that was long, whew. Thanks for letting me share!
