My wife, daugther and I are visiting my wife's grandparents in Naples, Florida the first week of February. It is the first trip with my daughter since she was diagnosed with Celiac and since we started the gluten-free diet. The change has been so great and she is doing so well, than I am very worried about gluten in the trip. As we are going to...

You will only understand the symptoms of Celiac, once you are in the gluten-free diet. Toddlers go through so many issues that it is hard to understand which ones are regular developmental or associated with Celiac. Now that my daughter (also 2yr) has been 16 days in the gluten-free diet, I can tell you some of the symptoms that I believe were associated...

I am so happy!! my daughter has been 14 days in the gluten-free world and she is doing great!! today,I had so much fun with her.. we danced Celia Cruz (salsa), we played with pillows, we ran around... and we behave like monkeys!!

She mentioned that there was no evidence of respiratory allergies with Celiac. My wife and I are also reading the new book: " Celiac Disease: A hidden Epidemic" by Peter H.R. Green, M.D and in part II of the book Related Conditions...

My daughter who is 2 year old and was diagnosed with Celiac last week, has been gluten-free for almost a week (6 days). Yesterday, we saw some improvements but today her belly is extremely distended. Does anyone knows if this is normal? How long should it take for the abdomen to go back to normal?? Most postings in this blog talk about miraculous results...

My daughter, a wonderful and charismatic 2 year old, was diagnosed with Celiac last week. I am still overwhelmed with all the information and all the changes! I made myself a promise that I would try to find toddlers her same age, so that we can relate with other couples going through the same process. If you live in the Milwaukee area and have a toddler...
