Demand that they look into it.... It really depends on how good of a GI doctor you get.... We got a horrible one who said that there was no way that my son has Celiac disease and just tried to give him an appetite stimulant. That was with FTT, positive blood work, and a strong genetic history. Well that doctor was an idiot and we went to another one and...

just to let you know you can make home made chicken nuggets pretty easily. Look it up online! Oh, go with your gut mama, you are not wrong!

My son's first GI doctor said "There is no way he has Celiac, all he needs is an appitite stimulate and he will be fine." Huh? That after positive blood work, strong genetic history, FTT, and a big old belly. Sure buddy, lets boost his appitite so he will eat more posion. Well guess what my son does have Celiac and within six weeks of taking him of...

My son has celiac disease. He has been gluten free about about 1 month. For about the last week and a half he has had dark green stool with a lot of undigested food in it. Not a little food but a lot of food. It is also very foul smelling. Is this normal? Has anyone experineced this? I have to admit I am very freaked out. Thank you, kristina

Glad to hear that it is going well! I recommend this book "kids with Celiac disease" by Danna Korn. It is really helpful. I know there is a list on here of ingrednets that are not safe. Print it out and have it with you always! Gluten its in the most random stuff. My little one has been having a tough time too with the tantrums. We are going into...

I REALLY need one! Thanks!

Hi! I have posted on here about my 20 month old likely having celiac disease. He has a positive blood test for two out of three but not the TgT. There is a strong family history and he became FTT when solids were introduced. I decided not to do the biopsy because of the risks and because it would have taken too long and he was going down hill fast. ...

I know that most of their yogurt is but I don't know about the gogurts. Thanks!

Your children sound similiar to my son in some ways. My son dropped off the charts between 9-12 months and is FTT with a big old belly. Blood work came back positive and I decided to not do the biopsy. He has been gluten free for almost 2 weeks and has been eating up a storm. Going gluten free does you child no harm so try it! I don't know how long it...

Hello, about a month ago my son had blood work down that indicated he has celiac disease. He was on gluten light for a couple weeks. Recently I decided to not do the biopsy and I took him completely off gluten. He is doing much better with his eating and has so much energy now it is crazy! He has been jumping off the walls! The one thing is that for...

Does anyone of of any major brands that are gluten free?

I just went through a similar situation.... My son is twenty months and twenty pounds. His blood work indicated at the very least a problem with gluten. I was going to do the endoscopy but decided against it. I decided against it because well...First, there are risks to putting a small child under like that. Plus, it may come up negative but he does in...

Your daughter sounds just like my son! Take her off gluten and i wouldn't be surprised if she grows like a weed! My son was about 18 pounds at 9 months and about 19 pounds at 19 months. I took him off gluten three weeks ago and he has already gained a half of a pound! Just do it, it is not like taking her off gluten is going to hurt her.

Thank you very much for your kind words... I know that I am my childs best advocate. My son's first pedi told me he was fine and to stop trying to put him through all these tests. I spoke to another pedi in the same office and I got a similiar answer "he's fine." I knew in my heart he wasn't so I switch pedi and my son's new pedi said that she couldn't...

Thank you for all the wonderful information guys. I feel that the best way for us to go is gluten light until the biopsy and the minute it is over than he will be gluten free. We had another good day of eating gluten light and that just makes me soooo happy!
