    Thank you for all of your responses. You are right, I should not leave her with anybody who cannot be trusted. I hope this doesn't become an issue, but if it does, I will just have to stick to my guns because my daughter is too important. The letter about what it can cause to happen is a fantastic idea! I had already thought of giving a list of what she...

    Ok, so now that we are scheduled to see a specialist, and we are 99% sure DD has Celiac, we have started talking to our families about it. I just can't believe some of the responses I get. The biggest one I am perturbed about is my MIL who is dingy anyway (she was once watching the weather channel, the TV was showing something coming from the NW, and she...

    I'm about an hour and a half south of KC.

    I posted this in another forum and never seemed to get any kind of response, so I will post it here in hopes that I can get an answer. I am wondering if the concentration of gluten is higher in some foods, thus causing a stronger reaction, than in others. Our biggest clue to start looking in the direction of celiac disease was that our DD just cannot...

    Growing up I always had a lot of baby dolls. One thing I always noticed about them is that they all always had two dimples right above their but cheeks. Never in my life had I ever actually seen any real baby that had those. Well, now that DD has thinned down she has two very visible dimples in the same spot. I am wondering if anyone else noticed these...

    I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. I misread what you had said and took it as an accusation towards me for being ridiculous. I really didn't want to start off on a bad foot on this board. I hope that you don't hold it against me. Again, I am really sorry. I have had previous experience with the docs at Childrens Mercy, and have heard wonderful things...

    Fiddle Faddle, I came here for support and answers. Not for someone to criticize me. I am not sure why you felt the need to attack someone who is so new to this and still has much to learn. If I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was Celiac, or if someone in my family already had a diagnosis, without a doubt she would already be on a gluten-free...

    Are you from Missouri? We were referred to Dr. Robert Kane. Have you heard of him? Should I ask for a different doc?

    Ok, well her symptoms were so classic Celiac that he did not want to poke her today. He said it would end in seeing a pediatric gastroentologist who would poke her again anyway, and didn't want to put her through unnecessary pokes. So he referred me to a specialist in Kansas City at Childrens Mercy. We will find out tomorrow when her appointment is. Hopefully...

    I am not too sure what test he is doing. He is a foreign guy, so really hard to understand. He is a great pediatrician though, won pediatrician of the year award last year. What I did understand about a test he talked about was for multiple things, 25 different things I think he said. Should I request a different kind of testing?

    I think it is great you are having her tested! My 13 month old daughter is getting tested tomorrow, and seems pretty obviously celiac. If she tests positive we will be having EVERY member of our family tested just to be sure. We have a history of digestive problems, and this may be the key to it all. I would not be surprised if your daughter tests...

    I am wondering if there is anyone who had worse symptoms pre-diagnosis with certain foods than others? My daughter absolutely cannot tolerate pasta, but other foods do not seem to bother her as much. Is there something in pasta that is higher in gluten than other foods?

    Well, tomorrow is the big day. We are headed to the pediatrician for a full physical and blood/allergy testing. I am so nervous about these results. She looks so obviously celiac to us. We have always felt we had to "force feed" her, she still doesn't sleep through the night, her weight fluctuates constantly, diarrhea/constipation always, the list goes...

    Well I finally got her in to see an actual pediatrician today. He is gathering all of her previous records from our family doc and we will go back in one week. He will do a full physical examination then, also will run allergy panels. DD had a horrid bout of diarrhea in the middle of the night last night. She woke up screaming like she never has before...

    Hello everyone! I stumbled upon this board and am amazed at the information that is here! I know you all get a lot of questions and I have tried to read through all of them that I thought came close to the information I was needing... however I think I have one you haven't heard, or maybe not in awhile. My daughter is 13 months old. Ever since I can...
