[QUOTE="Josie, post: 608756, member: 1792"] I agree with confuzzled. In fact, my daughter's stomach problems were diagnosed as anxiety. Going gluten free got rid of them. She does have anxiety but that was not causing her stomach problems. And, her anxiety is getting better by addressing all of her other medical issues. For a while, my daughter was too sick to go to school. The mainstream doctors said it was due to a mood disorder. We continued working on her health issues as a medical problem rather than a mental problem and she got better. We went to alternative health care practitioners who took her medical complaints seriously and did not dismiss it as anxiety or a mood disorder. They see the anxiety as a symptom of the medical problems rather than the other way around. As an example, we recently added some thyroid medicine and I think she is less anxious. It wasn't intended for anxiety, but it appears to have helped. You might have to go to alternative healthcare providers, too, to get more help. I like to go to integrative health practitioners who can and do prescribe regular medicines but also believe in nutrition, supplements, and other natural medicine. That way I know if a prescription is needed, they will be willing and able to write it. The school part will wait, but her health needs won't. My daughter had to be homeschooled for a long time due to health issues and much of that time, she was too sick to get much done. She is back in school now and doing fine with some extra support. If you can't go to an alternative doctor, the girlfriend diet might make all the difference in the world. Probably all of them would say to do that anyway. [/QUOTE]
