Hi Everyone,

For anyone who does Facebook, I started a "Parents of Children with Celiac Disease" group. I use Facebook often and thought it might be another route to giving each other support.

If interested, type in the above group name into the search and you'll come across it. I made it a "closed group" so you first have to request to be a member, much like the requesting a friend function.

Thanks,

AM

This will be very helpful!

But If anyone knows of a regular Celiac group(one not of parents) that would be a great deal of help!

Wait. Update. Type in Celiac in the search and there's Celiac Awareness, Celiac Disease, etc. Nevermind!

There are a number of gluten and/or celiac related groups on FB.

Here are links to a few of them.

I am not endorsing any of these, I just know they exist because one of my FB friends is a member of all of them.

Thanks, everyone. There wasn't a FB group specifically for parents of Celiac children, so I wanted to start one. As a parent of a newly diagnosed toddler and living in an area where there is currently no support group for parents, I really need to connect with other parents dealing with similar issues.

Have a great day!

      Is it gluten?

      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.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

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