I'm trying to make sense of the many things we've had going on since DD's abrupt onset of PANDAS in late November. I was able to access some of DD's lab results through the lab today. Her gluten sensitivity screening was negative for celiac, but "suggestive of nonceliac gluten sensitivity." (Her Antigliadin IgG value was 46, with a moderate to strong positive being anything >30).
Since PANDAS onset, DD has had more of an issue with stomach pain. I am thinking she had occasional, unexplained stomach pain prior to that, but nothing dramatic that really grabbed my attention. Since it has been worse since PANDAS onset and the start of antibiotics, I had been associating the stomach pain with the use of Augmentin three times a day.
In fact, in the last week, DD developed diarrhea such that she's now off the Augmentin and onto Zithromax, which she seems to be tolerating better but the stomach pain remains.
Soooooo... Would/could the stomach pain potentially be related mainly to the antibiotics? If the pain is related to gluten, does it make sense that it would have skyrocketed with the PANDAS onset?
