ARCHIVED New Diagnosis: A Little Overwhelmed
lamp replied to NewGFMom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
We used that cake recipe that called for the mayo but replaced the mayo with oil. It turned out wonderfully! I also hate to reiterate this, because you're probably sick of hearing it, but if you ever think that sometime in the future you may want a biopsy, you really might want to wait to do the gluten free diet. Maybe call the gi and see if they'll schedule... -

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease two months ago (complete villous atrophy on a biopsy) and so we tested my children. My youngest daughter (4) tested positive on the EMA and TTG test. She had been having light colored, sort of fluffy stools about 3 times a day for the last couple of months. Her family doctor said to put her on the gluten free diet while... -
