[QUOTE="Josie, post: 576771, member: 1792"] My daughter had stomach problems until she was 8. I took her to several gastroenterologists who found nothing wrong. They tested her for celiac disease multiple times and did other tests like ultrasounds, X-rays, reflux studies. They said she had "anxiety". When she was 8, I we found out she was gluten and casein intolerant. Giving up milk and gluten got rid of her stomach problems. I had to discover that on my own from reading internet sites. I ordered a test from Enterolab and it was positive for gluten and casein. The real test was eliminating gluten and milk from her diet and seeing that her stomach problems went away. I think doctors are probably still dismissive of that test, but it gave us an answer. We tested my other daughter, too, and she was also positive for both milk and gluten. She did not have stomach problems, but she was a difficult child with ODD. Putting her on the girlfriend/CF diet turned her into a easy child. I would take your daughter to the gastro and make sure there is nothing more serious going on but also see if she is interested in trying the girlfriend diet. I have found over the years that most people are not interested in this, but if her stomach is bothering her that much, she just might try it. If you are interested in an actual celiac diagnosis, she needs to keep eating gluten until after she is tested. But a negative test doesn't mean eliminating gluten won't help her. [/QUOTE]
