I need some help. My child has been shuffled from Doctor to Doctor with no real answers. I am making an appt. with a new specialist next week. But there has to be someone that can lead us in the right direction. Here are her blood test she has had done since 2006 until 09/2010. I have some diagnoses in mind but what do you think?
My daughter is 5 years old. Thank you for your input.

PATHOLOGIST=
**NOTED Very mild acanthosis in parts of the samples.

**There are few lyphoid aggregates in the lamina propria with focal basophilia of the foveolar epithelium. Description: Lymphoid aggregates appear as small, slightly elevated nodules that may be normal colored or more red than the surrounding mucosa. Those illustrated here are in the soft palate. They may be found anywhere in the mucosa but are especially common where the mouth meets the throat, including the base of the tongue. This lymphoid rich area has been called Waldeyer's ring. When they occupy the same area as the foliate papillae, the papillae may take on a more nodular appearance. In the tongue they have been referred to as lingual tonsils. Treatment: None required. Differential diagnosis: Foliate papillae are often mistakenly identified as lingual tonsils. Although papillae and lymphoid aggregates may occupy the same area, they are different entities.

**Slightly prominent lymphoid tissue consistent with terminal ileum.

**Slightly prominent mucosal associated lymphoid tissue is focally seen.

She was a year old when you first took her to the doctor to begin all these tests? What were/are her symptoms?

[brandy913]

Diarrhea & constipation. Occasional pale colored stool. Tummy pains, low iron, occasional vomiting after a meal. Rash and swollen joints. Thank you for helping us!

I'll get J_9 out here too, if possible. She's an RN.

Your daughter has had these symptoms for four years?

Have doctors recommended any meds or vitamins/minerals?

[J_9]

Wow, this is out of my league big time.

However, I would suggest having her tested for celiac disease. The symptoms are very similar to what you describe.
