Thank you for all of your responses. Crittermom, it means a lot that people do read the post and care. NewGFMom - I am realizing what a huge undertaking this all is. While we are doing the probiotics I'm going to do a lot of research. I do cook so hopefully this will help me out in the long run. I think we're all going to have to do it at home in...

Ridgewalker and Darn210 thanks for your insights. It seemed so much easier to think of gluten free when we were looking at an actual diagnosis of celiac.

I am not qualified to answer any of your questions but I wanted to give you a virtual ((hug)) and tell...

Thank you so much for replying. My head is just spinning lately! Her biospy isn't until the 17th so I feel like I have a lot of time to think and wonder (and pray!). You know, I was wondering why they didn't run the IgG AGA and TTG as well. It was my general pediatrician who was ordering the tests based on what she understood the GI docs to say. At...

I have been searching these boards and the net this last 2 weeks trying to gather more info. The background: My middle daughter, she'll be 5 in June, is being evaluated for possible Celiac. The question of her having an intolerance was first brought up last spring when we thought she might have a severe lactose intolerance. She had been taking Lactaid...
