I need to record this so I can identify future bouts of gluten-related illness. But don't read it unless you are very interested in the movements of my daughter's bowels.



13 December - I believe this is the date she was exposed to gluten through cross contamination at a cafe.

15 December - Thin diarrhoea, runny nose, stopped eating

Continues with illness, resumes eating

19 December - More formed poo, but 14 bowel movements in one day

Improvement in bowel movements but increasingly tired and easily overwhelmed due to malnourishment

30 December - Total collapse, spent day lying down, vomiting

31 December - Exhausted, vomiting, diarrhoea, stopped eating

1 January - Frail, looked much thinner

3 January - Looks much better, more formed bowel movements



Ruby will not say how she is feeling or whether she is in pain. Like many children with chronic health conditions, she minimises because she does not want to go to hospital again (heartbreaking). However, she does look much better today so maybe a mouthful of gluten only means three weeks of pain?

Must say that I am sick of cleaning up filth, no matter how much it is not her fault she produces it.

Also, note to self, next year NO food to be eaten out at Christmas.
