Dd had been on a wheat free diet since the age of 1. Last year the paed decided they needed to test if she was actually coeliac. She started eating wheat in March last year and was tested in the summer the results were negative.
Over the last year she has really changed, at school she holds it together but at home she is vile. Aggressive, rude, emotional. Every hair brush is a battle, there are foods we can't eat because she doesn't like the smell and we are constantly on edge for the next tantrum. She is very anxious about a lot and it is really upsetting. She can also be wonderful, sweet, funny and mature but this is becoming rarer.
She has always had damp pants- never wets herself totally but there is always a dribble. And since large March she started soiling herself- quite irregularly at first.
The gastro decided she was constipated (the gp had previously felt her stomach and said she wasn't), prescribed senokot and nothing changed, they have now prescribed movicol and she has started pooing herself daily. She is so embarrassed and is becoming quite secretive about it. She won't change her pants at school and we are really worried about bullying.
We are seeing the school nurse on Monday to talk about it but any advice would be appreciated? I'm not convinced she is constipated but the dr is adamant. Can I demand they prove it?! I would like to take her off wheat to see if there is an improvement but without a dr's note school would not give her a wheat free meal. What do we do?
