Hi I'm new to this site. My 5 year old son, Ryan, is in the process of being diagnosed with Celiac. He had a blood test 3 months ago, and we found out today when we saw the GI doctor that it was inconclusive. That 2 of the tests were not valid b/c he has some protien in his blood that is on the low side and can effect the test. However, the 3rd one showed high levels and needed to be looked into. He did another blood test today and if the numbers are still high, he is going to do an Endoscopy and find out for sure if he has it or not.

So, when I was googling info about this disease I found this website. I decided to join to find out some info, so if he does end up having it, I can be prepared. Hope to meet other moms who have kids with it. :)

      New labs are now very elevated

      Hello, I was very stick, with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel. Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change? What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?...

      Is Cracker Barrel`s gluten-free menu safe for kids with celiac disease?

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to...

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
