My nine year daughter often has a distended stomach. We have taken bread out of her diet which has helped but from time to time she is full of gas. She has been tested and is not a celiac. What other foods should we eliminate ? All suggestions welcome.
Hi.9-Year-old usually have no such issues as celiac or so. It is possibly an infection of the intestines or lymph nodes or a problem like worms that cause this sort of problem. Another possibility is of a problem with the large bowel, evacuation not being proper. Get investigated by a Pediatric Surgeon to get to the root cause and get her treated accordingly. Unsolved problems can cause more harm in the future.
