ARCHIVED Daughter Diagnosed And Now Have A Few Questions...
fleckapo posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
hi there. i posted a little while back about whether or not to have the scoping done on my 6 year old daughter and we went ahead with it. she, as we suspected, tested positive. i actually have two questions, one regarding her and one about the rest of us (specifically my husband). so, since the diagnosis, she is pale. i know it's winter and she's pretty... -

ARCHIVED Having Trouble With Hidden Glutens
fleckapo posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications

elise just turned six in september. i should mention that i am her mom (i know, blaike is a total guy's name ). i really don't want to put her back on gluten after taking such precautions the past 24 hours. is it totally necessary? i mean, knowing what i know, i don't think i can do that to her. does that make sense? i cried a lot yesterday and now... -
my name is blaike and we just found out that my daughter elise has celiac disease. she had been having stomach issues for quite a while but just intermittantly. lately (i'd say the past month or so), she's had cramping everyday. there wasn't a day that went by that she didn't tell me that her stomach hurt. she would wake up in the middle of the night...
