[QUOTE="Josie, post: 233763, member: 1792"] I have had good luck with the gluten free diet. I was not diagnosis'ed with anxiety but in hindsight, I was an anxious person. When I went on the gluten free diet, I became very relaxed. I had been taking Lexapro for "PTSD" but was able to stop taking it and feel even better. With her abdominal pain, it would be worth checking into. She could try eating gluten free and see if her abdominal pain goes away. It is important to eliminate every trace of gluten to see if it will work. If I eat something with "traces of wheat" or "manufactured in a place with wheat", my symptoms return. I could tell within 2 days that I needed to stay on this diet. I did not have abdominal issues but I just felt mentally better. There are tests for celiac disease that your daughter might get for her abdominal pain but they are not very accurate for gluten intolerance. I would guess at least 1/2 of the people on the girlfriend diet are undx'ed by regular doctors. Many have had the conventional tests come back negative but find their answer with this diet. I found out about this diet because my younger daughter had stomach pain for her first 8 years. Doctors said it was anxiety. The celiac tests came back negative but her stomach issues are gone now since she is on this diet. It is not as easy as taking fish oil but, for me, it works so well that I am willing to put up with the inconvenience. [/QUOTE]
