Depression / Mood swings

[Guest guest]

I was just diagnosed about 6 weeks ago, and I had my 6 year old

daughter's blood tested for celiac, as she has HORRIBLE gas and often

has tummy aches. Her blood test came back fine. She is normal weight

and height (little short maybe), and no real diarrhea but like I said

lots and lots of stinky gas and tummy aches. She also has intense

mood swings - normally is very happy, but then has tantrums, and

lately has been crying and crying and hitting herself sometimes,

saying that she hates her life and that everyone hates her! When I

see her at school she is surrounded by friends and is very social, and

her teacher says the same. I suffered from severe depression on and

off throughout my life and now I think it was caused by Celiac (it's

getting better as I have been GF).

Does anyone else's children have similar problems - mood swings,

depression?? Could it be CD, or ?? Should I get other tests besides

the blood test??

thanks!
