Taxes

Hi All,

Well, I put this topic here because I am sure there are alot of parents that have included their celiac kids on their taxes. This will be my first year with having celiac expenses, and I was wondering is it really worth it to deduct the cost of gluten-free food?? What about a letter from the doctor stating that your child or children are on a gluten-free diet? I read somewhere that you need a letter, but I always efile, and I do my taxes myself. Does anyone know how that works??

Thanks for the help!!!

Yeah, I have already read How to do it, I was just wanting to know from other parents if it has been worth it for them??? Or should I not waste my time adding up all the cost??

      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!
