I am posting to this list in the hopes that someone can help us out with symptoms my daughter has been experiencing. She is 19 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 5 years ago. She does a pretty good job of sticking to her diet. About 3 weeks ago she developed a high fever (102) and diarrhea as well as a pain/bloated feeling in her lower abdomen. The high fever and diarrhea disappeared after a few days, but she has continued to have the pain and bloated feeling as well as an on and off low grade fever. Our family doctor (who is normally a wonderful diagnostician —he was the one who diagnosed her celiac initially)  has tried 3 different medications like anti-spasmodics as well as treating her for parasites on the chance that she picked up something in Mozambique where we spent the summer. So far nothing has helped. We are about to turn to her gastro doc, but I thought maybe somebody on the list has experienced something like this and could help us figure out what's going on. Is it possible this is related to CD in some way?

 

Thanks for any help you can give,

Diane
