My 19 month old daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  She
has been on a GF diet for just over one month.  My concern is regarding
what appears to be joint pain around her hip area.  We first noticed this
about three months ago, right around the time we started looking into her
bloating and lack of weight gain.  Initially we thought she had pulled her
muscle, or bumped into something while playing.  But it has not gone away,
and appears to be getting worse.  She is very uncomfortable and squirmy in
her car seat, or any seat for that matter.  I have tried padding her
various seats, but that doesn't seem to help.  This past week her Ped.
ordered hip x-rays, and some more blood tests to rule-out other autoimmune
issues (arthritis, etc.).  I am worried sick about this latest
development.  I was so thrilled when her bloating subsided, and she started
filling-out.  Now I am worrying all over again.  Has anybody experienced
something like this with their Celiac toddler?
Thank you in advance for your response.
