Positive Blood Work

[momof2sn]

I joined this message board on the 18th of April in dispair. My daugter, 21 mo, had an endoscopy on the 28th of March with a negative biopsy. She had the genetic make-up for celiac. The doctor pointed out that her B-12, folate and iron were low. She was lactose intolerant and her intestines were inflammed. She has also had diarrhea forever. Well, I got on here and basically said "HELP" Because of all of you I was compelled to call the doctor. The next day, she called, the blood work that was ordered for July (we were on a wait and see for my baby) was never done the first time!!!!!!!!! A big OOPS on there part!! We had the blood work done last Tuesday and by Friday I had learned enough and put here on the diet. Well two days later no more diarrhea!!! No, I didn't think I could get so excited about poop!!! Anyways, doc called me yesterday morning and said her blood work was positive!!! They want to do another endoscopy, I said "No" She was shocked I had already put her on the diet and said most moms want a positive biopsy to go with all the symptoms before they try the diet. I said all of this to say "THANK YOU". If I would have not gotten so much information and encourgement from all of you, I probably would still be dealling with diarrhea and not know any different!!

Ya'll are a great group of people and should pat yourself on the backs for helping my little baby get well, for good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy to hear that your daughter is getting better! It's amazing how happy we can get over poop! I hope your daughter continues to thrive on this diet and that you will be amazed by her progress.

Congratulations, that's wonderful news! Have you put her on supplements for her deficiencies? It takes too long to fix those without supplements.

You can give yourself a pat on the back for doing the right thing for your daughter, you can't rely on doctors to be much help.

She is only on a multi-vitamin. Should she be on anything else?
