  1. My daughter was diagnosed just today with ulcerative colitis. She had been having bloody stools for several months so we took her to a pediatric gastroenterologist. After an endoscopy and colonoscopy he has come to this conclusion. Blood tests and the endoscopy don't show that she has celiac disease. Currently she is taking Asacol and Prevacid. Her symptoms have gone away. The doctor suggested that she have an allergy test to rule out allergic colitis.

    I self-diagnosed through Enterolab that I am gluten and casein intolerant. I also have the genetic markers that make it likely that my children will also become (or already are) gluten intolerant. In the back of my mind I have a sneaking suspicion that perhaps she is gluten intolerant as well. I'm tempted to get her tested from Enterolab to see what that may show. I would hate to see that she was misdiagnosed and a number of years down the road she may have to get a colectomy when it may have never been necessary to get one in the first place.
