I have 2 celiac kids - ages 15 and 8.  When I was pregnant with 15 year  old I had the standard AFP test for, I think, detection of Down Syndrome.  My results were very high and we went to  genetic counseling and were told we may have a baby with Down Syndrome.  Needless to say, I was a wreck for the rest of my term.    

The minute he came out the doctor told us he was perfect -- no Down Syndrome.  

8 months later he was gravely ill -- malnurished.  After several moths he was diagnosed a celiac disease.

If many Down Syndrome children have celiac disease, does the AFP test detct celiac disease in-utero?  I have asked several doctors in the past about this and they all kinda blow me off.  Your article raised the question for me again.

I am searching for information and help and came upon your comment. I just have to say...glad your baby came out "perfect"...although the comment leaves me saddened and frustrated. I think I have redefined what perfect is since having my child...I've probably even redefined what happiness means or what is most important in life. I used to want perfect kids...<br/><br/>

We have three kids,one with Down's, I understand your frustration with the "perfect"terminology. I'm certain it was said inadvertently. All three of my kids are perfect.
FYI, Nicholas was our first born. Good luck to you and yours.<br/><br/>

It is entitled Celiac Disease Malignancy Risk Higher Despite Gluten Free Diet.  It states quite clearly from a solid study that the risk of small intestinal adenocarcinoma, esophageal cancer, melanoma, and non-Hodgkins lymphoma persisted despite a gluten-free diet.  Not to say that a strict gluten-free diet is not beneficial to those diagnosed with Celiac, but I believe it's important to be mindful of such possibilities especially in cases of Celiac and Down Syndrome combined as those conditions both come with predisposal to some serious autoimmune diseases and cancers.  I have a 2 yr. old with Down Syndrome and Celiac who is symptomatic despite the Gluten Free diet.  Also he has recently developed some type of skin lesions.  A lot going on for him right now and more testing this month.  I'm praying for the best.<br/><br/>
