Is having issues. Her blood panel came back good but the Celiac screen hasn't come back. Is it safe to assume that Celiac isn't likely with normal inflammatory markers?
I'm taking her back to the dr today. I'm not sure what to hope for in a next step?
She having intermittent stomach pain, sometimes severe. Usually between meals but sometimes right after. We have cut gluten and dairy for the last week but I totally bungled lunch & let her have a pudding and a shrimp tempura sushi roll. The was doubled over 5 mins after eating. I guess from the creamy pudding.
Her skin test for wheat, eggs and milk was all negative.
She's been having oral reactions to random fruits/veggies so we cut those for now too.
Help a mama out, I'm overwhelmed and the stress isn't doing my guts any favors.
 
I wouldn't start trying elimination diets right away... dont give her the feeling that you are freaking out.
Take it one step after another, doctor by doctor and test by test. In the meantime I would recommend a food journal, maybe she can track down foods that irritate her gut ?

Not every stomach pain or issues is Crohn's.
Keep calm and move on, dont stop.

I hope it turns out to be nothing; maybe she is just eating too much candy as kids do ;)

Good Luck
