ARCHIVED Confused
ShayBraMom replied to bendano's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
to me it sounds very much celiac! Usually after the Gluten-challenge and a positive or inclusive Biopsy it's automativcally diangose Celiac! Some here have said that Insurances often can and or will refuse you or give you a pretty high quote if they know you got a Celiac in the family. So, I'm not so sure if it is betteror worse to actually have it in writing... -

ShayBraMom replied to Noor's Mom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs

Sadly enough, while damage in the small intenstine due to celiac is fully reversible just with the glutenfree diet, the Diabetes is not! Since you said somethign asobut that she loves Pretzels, go get her the Pretzels from Glutino... -
