Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Probably your child has gluten allergy based on the recurring symptoms. She needs to avoid wheat barley rye.

Or adhere to a strict gluten-free diet. But before suggesting diet it is better to do screening tests a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis before dietary treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr ASHWIN BALIGA, Pediatrician
