To know that catching it early may help them have a better chance of growing normally, unlike myself, is great. I would like to see more on the subject though, if it were available/out there.<br/><br/>

For several years he was on Growth Hormone which resulted in less than favorable growth velocity. It wasn't until age 9 that an intern suggested that we might have him tested for Celiac. The rest is history.  9 years on a Gluten Free diet in addition to the Growth Hormone to allow him to catch up produced a 6ft 135lb kid out of one who was at best going to be 5ft or less.  To this day his endocrinologist would does not believe in testing for celiac in 'short stature' children. There is still a lot of work and education to be done.  We are now annoying disciples when we talk to med students, doctors and even friends with short stature children.<br/><br/>
