I Need Links To Send To My Son's Dad

He told me to go ahead and set up a doctor appointment, and he wants me to email him some information. I need the most useful, simple, and accurate information from the most reputable sources. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, and his girlfriend is a nurse and he says they have a friend whose a doctor who he wants to talk to about this. He'll most likely show them whatever I give him, and if they try to discredit it, he'll be much much more likely to accept whatever his girlfriend and the doctor tell him than any information I give him, so reputability/credibility of the source is extremely important.

I'm not exactly sure what a doctor would take seriously. My GI recommended this site. But, my only doctor friend scoffs at most websites that have "medical" information on them. I wonder if it would be best to take the father to a consultation with your son's doctor?

Thanks. :)

Here's what I have so far:

Here are some links to information about Celiac Disease. An important thing to note about the symptom lists is that people with Celiac Disease won't have all of the symptoms (in fact, there are people with Celiac Disease who don't have any symptoms).

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
