ARCHIVED What About My Son?
WendyG replied to Emilysmomma's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I totally agree on having everyone in the family tested. I am s celiac and I had my three children tested for a base line and to just make sure for my peace of mind. My middle daughter who is 8 is positive. She was the one I was least concerned about. She is happy, healthy and no tummy symptoms at all..... Good luck, Wendy -

ARCHIVED Swollen Hands And Feet
WendyG posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi, I have been very strict with my gluten free diet since Jan 28th. Lately I am having terribly swollen feet and hands. Is this related to Celiac or just too much salt? Anyone else every experience anything similar? Thanks, Wendy -
Wow reading your post ... WE are very similar. I am 36 and was diagnosed almost 6 years ago... I too do not have many symptoms. I am back on the diet for life. Although I don't have symptoms when I eat gluten I am very malnourished. I was severely anemic and my iron stores were a whopping 2. My hair was the biggest reason for getting back on track. It...
