Celiac Disease On Tlc Show "motherhood"

So Im watching TLC and this show comes on....and the little boy has celiac disease.

Did anyone else catch it? I knew it was different to deal with a child with celiac disease but I never thought about them being scared to eat food...See even us Celiacs can learn from the publicity of the disease, see it in a new light.

no I didn't catch the show, but I do know my daughter was absolutely terrified to eat food before her dx. Once we got her on the gluten-free diet and she started feeling better, she's gotten to be quite the little eater. I remember that getting her to eat ANYTHING was like trying to pull teeth. She would clamp her mouth shut and refuse ANYTHING. I was so worried she would starve.

My dd who is 9 caught it and was so excited to tell me all about it when I got home from work this afternoon. She said it was great and she hoped it would help people understand more about it.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
