ARCHIVED 15mo Newly Dx W/ Celiac, Need Advice
charis4 replied to charis4's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Oh wow, I'm definately going to get that shopping guide! I'm sure you'd want to double check things because companies change recipes and stuff, but at least you wouldn't be reading the labels on EVERY SINGLE THING on the grocery store shelf. What a great find! -Charis -
ARCHIVED 15mo Newly Dx W/ Celiac, Need Advice

We got our blood test results today and it looks like my daughter and I are testing negative, which is good not only for us, but it doesn't increase the risk that Jack actually has celiac. It doesn't mean he doesn't have it, but less statistically likely than if we had it also. Again, thanks for all the advice! -Morgan -

Although I appreciate the time taken for a response, I guess I was hoping for some constructive advice instead of a berating. Does anyone have some advice for how to deal with the day in day out practicalities of dealing with celiac? Thank you in advance! -Charis -

Hi, I'm new to this forum, so I wanted to introduce myself. My 15mo has recently been given a soft dx of celiac. The blood test came back negative and the intestinal biopsy was inconclusive (although it ruled out everything else the ped GI doc thought it might be). As I'm sure all of you are well aware of, the testing isn't very accurate in kids this young...
