Jamie’s Ongoing Tummy-aches

January 25th, 2009 by admin

I mentioned the other day that Jamie keeps getting tummy-aches, despite the fact that I’m sure he is not having any gluten. I kept a food diary for two weeks and send it to the Paediatric Dietician at the hospital.

She rang back the other day and said that she couldn’t see any reason for the tummy aches either! The only link she could find was that he had had a nasty tummy-ache twice after eating gluten free fish-fingers. I felt just great because I had just put fish fingers in the oven for tea… but she suggested trying them anyway. (I did. There was no reaction)

She also suggested pro-biotic yogurt drinks. The tummy-aches might not be anything to do with his celiac disease, but just indicative of a sensitive gut!

It was good to talk it through with Someone Who Knows anyway, and since putting him on pro-biotic yogurts every morning, he hasn’t had any tummy-aches at all. Okay, it’s only been three days but I’m hopeful.
