Something is wrong with my 3 year old

Hi everyone,
I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible, while giving as much info as I can.
My daughter has been an ANGEL. Perfect baby, never upset, happy, well adjusted, extremely bright and never any tantrums. Her father and I had it too easy. In March, 2 months before her 3rd birthday, we had another baby girl (our soon to be 3 year old couldn't be anymore excited for a sister and would tell everyone she saw that she was 'the best big sister ever'). The day the baby was born, a relative decided to visit while extremely sick with bronchitis. My 3 year old ended up being quarantined in her room for 3 days (she honestly slept the whole time) and baby ended up in emerg with breathing problems due to bronchitis. The 3 year old changed at that point and we just figured that it was due to being sick. She was angry, cried (not a normal cry, more of a squeal) non stop for 10 hours straight, whiney, violent. She then developed a rash and complained non stop of stomach aches. We took her to the naturopath in May who tested for celiac disease and recommended a gluten free diet. She was negative but with the new diet, the behavior improved, stomach aches were gone and rash disappeared. She (as well as our family) have been gluten free ever since, however, if she doesn't happen to eat something containing it, the behavior returns and we now refer to this as a 'gluten episode'. I'm not even exaggerating when I say we have had days of not being able to calm her down from 8am-8pm. She SQUEALS as loud as she can, eyes are usually closed, she will never speak, she will roll and thrash around and becomes extremely violent, angry and irrational and if you try speaking to her or ask what's wrong, she only gets worse. The only thing that we have found to calm her down is to pin her and softly rub her back, this usually takes about 15-20 minutes. For the last month or so, (she is still gluten free) these 'episodes' are becoming more and more frequent, now happening about every other day. Her father and I are at our wits end, and are not sure where to go from here. She has been in for heavy metal testing, we're just waiting to hear back with the results. I also have her taking a bach remedy. If there is ANY advice that anyone has for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

prepare yourself or have pharmacist prepare--disolove 3 pellets natrum carbonicum 30c in 3/4 ful 100ml medicinal bottle of distilled water--then add couple drops vodka (for preservative)...succuss (thump/strike hard against thik soft covered booK) 8-10 times-{{do this before every use from the solution (1o0ml botle)))--1 teaspoon of this in 4 oz water in drinng glass--1 teaspoon dose given to daughter--throw away rest of drinking glass mix---frsh glass to be used each day.......dose daily in morning --give 10-15 minutes before any food teeth brushing drinks---and allow 10-15 after before any such as mentioned..

keepme closely informed--will assess and adjust as changes dictate

Thank you for your recommendations. Her sleep is up and down. Some nights (usually right before or right after an 'episode' she will be up 2-3 times a night screaming. Then there's days when she's completely happy and back to normal when she sleeps right through the night no problem. It's scary how it is usually NOTHING that sets her off and again, nothing that 'fixes it'. She doesn't seem jealous or angry towards her sister, except for when she's having on of these days, she just hates everyone in sight.

I'll try and answer as best as I can

1. She never really completely calms down by anything that we do. She will still barely be able to talk (she's usually full sentences, and easy to understand, when she gets like this we'll get a 'N-Not .Tired' and ONLY when she starts to calm down)The complete calming down is always done on her own and for no apparent reason. The other day she was having one of these 'episodes', she was on hour 4 and while rolling around on the floor, she just happened to open her eyes and see little cherry tomatoes on the counter, completely stopped crying and said 'yummm can I have one please mom?' It's so bizarre.

2. I wouldn't say she is out to hurt us, or malicious however she rolls around with her eyes closed and thrashes. There are times though when we pick her up and she'll try and kick and hit us. Like I said, nothing we can say helps, there is absolutely no reasoning with her. It can be the dumbest things, like tonight during her screaming, out of nowhere she all of a sudden said 'Want. Cake.' I told her we don't have cake and she didn't eat her dinner so she's not getting any sweets, and she takes these things like the world is about to come to an end. These small things that wouldn't ever be an issue, fuel these episodes so badly. Normally she's the type of child that would say ok Mom, that's ok.

3. She won't speak during the episodes. The only reason we realized she was having stomach aches was from watching her grab and hold her tummy while thrashing around. We repeatedly ask her what's wrong, even go as far as asking specifics ('Is your tummy hurting', 'Did you hurt yourself', 'Are you mad about something') knowing full well that we could be putting words in her mouth, we're just so desperate to get SOME idea of what's going on.

4. She has been waking up with nightmares. She is all of a sudden scared of strange, random things like octopus', bats. She had a nightmare about 'bad weeds' the other night. Lately she has become very clingy to me. She has always been a 'daddy's girl' but it seems like she has abandonment issues, and freaks out whenever I leave the house. Not right when I go, but throws fits or like tonight, went to the bathroom and wouldn't let my husband help her wipe and come off the toilet. She wanted me and threw a fit, fully content on waiting there until I got home.

5. After a full day of these episodes, she passes out. Bedtime is always awful after a day of them, she is so overtired. Bedtime usually consists of my husband and I holding arms and legs so we don't get kick, we don't even try to calm her down anymore. We put her pajamas on and brush her teeth while she's freaking out, say good night and turn off the lights. The really horrible nights we have often given her melatonin and within 10 min she's asleep.

6. She has always been a thinker. She reads really far into everything, is extremely curious and asks a billion questions. She has an amazing memory, remembering things from quite a while ago that we barely remember. Other then that I'm not too sure if I can think of anything that really stands out as odd or strange. Because of this extreme behavior, At one point we were trying to think if we've left her with anyone or if she would have or could have been in a situation where someone abused her to make her snap like this. I'm a stay at home mom so it's not like she's in daycare or really ever out of my sight. Sitters have all been close girlfriends of mine.

7. She prefers sun. She always tells me that she's sad when it rains and happy when it's sunny. We live in Vancouver where it always rains, so she complains a lot about that. She does love the snow too, but that's more just for the fun of it, we had 1 day with snow last winter.

Let me know if anything else would help. I haven't been able to find the natrum carbonicum yet, our supply of homeopathics in the area are really horrible, but I am going to a place tomorrow that should have it. Thanks everyone!

Do you suspect stomach aches are behind this.
 
vikas_grower last decade
I thought they were at first, which is why she went for allergy and celiac testing, but now she's completely gluten free, no diarrhea anymore and rarely complains about it. I've also been asked if I think it's jealousy but I think it's far too extreme to be that, plus when she's happy she's REALLY good with her baby sister.
