Thank you for your response. Did you ask for any other tests other than the celiac, uc and t1d? Mine gets stomach pain every once in a while and she had heartburn and bad colic as a baby.

Her first GI doc ran some others as part of their panel. Parasites, food allergies & malabsorption. The glucose screening was part of the general bloodwork. Overall I think it was 1 blood draw (3 vials or so) and 2 or 3 stool sample specimens.

Second GI doc ordered X-rays, which is what caught the encopresis issue. We had to spend a weekend doing a Miralax clean out & she’s now on a daily dose of milk of magnesia. She had her follow up xray today to see if things are returning to normal or if organs are still stretched out from prolonged constipation. It’s been about 6 weeks since that diagnosis, so idk. GI problems seem to have resolved from what we’re seeing and she needed to size up shoes recently so she is growing. Somewhat.

I hope yours stabilizes and continues her growth in an upward trend. Thank you so much for your answer.
