Hi Michelle, We chatted a few times last year our daughters were diagnosed about the same time and are the same age. I am struggling with the same problem with Amy as well. Her tummy has even started to swell. We too are awaiting blood test results. One thing we found out was she was coming into contact with play doh at school. Our dr also said...

I am looking for any advice you may be able to provide. My daughter has been gluten-free since April 2004. She had been looking so good, no enlarged tummy, great color, no black circles under her eyes, loads of energy etc. Thursday evening my husband and I took her to swimming lessons and when she stood next to the other kids I almost died. Her tummy...

Wow, I have been away from the board for a few days and I just checked in. RaeAnn thanks for all the recipes. I can't wait to try them. I am just going to start dinner. Hope you are all having a good week. Will update later about my week. Paula

Hello Michelle and RaeAnn, I have been away for the weekend and just got to checking the board. Looks like Amy may have gotten some gluten or maybe a flu bug she had diarrhea and nausea all day Saturday. I can't figure out where it could have come from though. The good news is that it only lasted the day. As far as my biopsy goes I am meeting with...

Thanks RaeAnn and Michelle for your responses. It has been 2 weeks yesterday that my daughter has been gluten-free. I started the same time however with an upcoming biopsy I have had to re-introduce gluten to my diet. I have become very sick. I am so shocked that I am feeling so crappy because I never noticed it before. I am also finding that I never...

Hi RaeAnn, Its been difficult to say the least. However we are getting by. My daughter's biopsy came back positive and I just received a call saying my blood test is positive. I am still awaiting the results of my younger daughter's blood test. I am guessing that it won't matter as we are already eating gluten free. It seem to be the easiest way to...

Hello there, my 4 year old daughter has tested positive with a blood test (IGG I think) I am still awaiting the results of a second blood test. I read somewhere that the IGG test may be postive but the person may not have Celiac disease. Her level was 57. The GI specialist we are seeing wants her to have the biopsy on Monday and doesn't feel it necessary...

What a long process this has been. My daughter has been suffering with very low iron (2) since last July. At that time my dr felt that it was related to her diet. A very good friend recommended that she have a blood test for Celiac disease but my dr said that she didn't have that. Long story short after months of pleading and lots of sleepless nights...
