What Are Symptoms Of Celiac Disease?

My 9 year old daughter is complaining that it feels like something is poking her in arms, legs, and tops of her feet. She says it feels like there's something in her clothes poking her, but when she checks her clothes there is nothing there...and it is in multiple places. She says it comes and goes and it is more annoying than it is painful. I checked her skin and there doesn't appear to be any bumps or sign of irritation. She was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and I have no idea if this has any relationship, but thought I'd mention it. Not sure if I should be worried about this...or maybe its just dry skin or something????

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Symptoms of celiac disease vary among sufferers and include:
Digestive problems (abdominal bloating, pain, gas, diarrhea, pale stools, and weight loss)
A severe skin rash called dermatitis herpetiformis.
Iron deficiency anemia (low blood count)
Musculoskeletal problems (muscle cramps, joint and bone pain)
Her senses are called paresthesia,because muscles cramps and lack of Vitamins B. Try to give her B complex with lysin 5 ml daily for 1 month and consult her neurologist.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your daughter good health.
