This may be known to many of you but for me I just recently found this out. It has been a little over a year now that my son was diagnosed. I only had a few weeks to prepare a gluten-free Thanksgiving so I researched how to make gravy. What I found was try this flour and add this flour. In the end it was horrible. Don't know why I never found a recipe...

I would say no. Unless they have changed things since I worked there, all burgers, buns, and chicken are heated on the same grill press. My son has Celiac Disease and I would definatly not let him eat that. Espically when you are on the road!

After many hospitalizations and finally blood work and a biopsy, my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. This was about 1 year ago. Today he told me that he usually has blood in his stool that is bright red but the last time it was more and dark and this made him worried. He has NEVER mentioned this to me or to the doctor. Obviously I am worried what...

The genetis markers are seen in the Celiac Plus panel. It's just bloodwork. Since you already know that you have it and it can run in familys I would get the blood work done. I wouldn't put him through the biopsy though. I think this would be the best thing for everyone in your family. You would know for sure and it would put all the worries to rest...

I'm pretty new at this myself but from what I have read and been told by the doctors celiac disease is genetic. You either have the gene or you don't. They say that some people who have the gene don't even ever know it because they don't ever have any symptoms. My son went 12 years WITH symptoms before being diagnosed. From what he has been through and...

Thank you SO much for everyone's quick responses and informative information. I never even thought of half of the things told to me here so far. Like getting a new toaster or throwing away the wooden spoons. Makes alot of sense but something that never crossed my mind. Thanks again!

After many years we finaly have a diagnosis. On January 8, 2009 my 12 year old son's blood work came back that he had the DQ8 gene. Then on March 17th, 2009 he had his biopsy which confirmed the diagnosis of Celiac Disease. It was also found that he had inflamation of the stomach lining and an ulcer on his esophagus. So now he is starting his life long...
