New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!
My 3yo was just diagnosed after months of iron supplements barely bringing up her ferritin. I say diagnosed but it's not official yet. Her tTG was 109, her ema was positive. Also she has a vitamin d deficiency in addition to the anemia. She also has the rash. It's been a rough road the last year and a half with her behavior and health and I'm relieved to...
