Diagnosed by Allergist with elimination diet and diagnosis confirmed by GI in 2002
Misdiagnoses for 15 years were IBS-D, ataxia, migraines, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, parathesias, arthritis, livedo reticularis, hairloss, premature menopause, osteoporosis, kidney damage, diverticulosis, prediabetes and ulcers, dermatitis herpeformis
All bold resoved or went into remission with proper diagnosis of Celiac November 2002
Some residual nerve damage remains as of 2006- this has continued to resolve after eliminating soy in 2007
Mother died of celiac related cancer at 56
Twin brother died as a result of autoimmune liver destruction at age 15
Children 2 with Ulcers, GERD, Depression, , 1 with DH, 1 with severe growth stunting (male adult 5 feet)both finally diagnosed Celiac through blood testing and 1 with endo 6 months after Mom
Positive to Soy and Casien also Aug 2007

The article said the new information will help point the scientists to the next set of questions to ask. Mine would be..... Is there a difference in the level of risk if the mother has an active case of celiacs or carries the genes but has not been triggered yet? Is the risk lowered if the mother is gluten free during pregnancy?
In this article they only spoke about children of mother's with celiacs. What about the fathers? Are the children of fathers with celiacs at a higher risk of autism. What if the father is gluten free for a period of time before conception? How long would that period of time have to be?
Somedays I wish the whole world was gluten free.

Me too, I think a lot of illnesses, both physical and mental have a strong relationship with gluten consumption.

I was wondering about all of this as well. Were the children born to celiac mothers who were properly following the diet or not? It doesn't say (unless I missed it), because it seems that is an important factor with so many variables such as accidental or unknown glutenings, which we all know can make a big difference vs the mothers being on a strict as hell 100% gluten-free diet with NO accidents, the entire pregnancy, etc.
