ARCHIVED Teenager Facing Celiac Panel After 5 Months gluten-free
Mattie's mom replied to Mattie's mom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

Teenage son saw a gastroenterologist for the first time last week. AFter hearing our extensive family history of undiagnosed but likely celiac disease and my sons story, she offered to run a celiac panel after 2 weeks on a gluten diet. (Son was breastfed for 3+ years, a chubby healthy baby, then by 2nd grade was tall and very thin. Gained weight on a Gluten...
