Title says it all. My MIL wants to attempt some from scratch gluten-free bread in her new bread machine. I've read some good gluten-free bread recipes but I need one that will definitely work well in a breadmachine. The bread will be for my son to have mostly nutbutter/jam sandwiches on so it can't be super crumbly. And any tips on breadmachine settings for...

Mistyk- Dr. Safta is Dr. Fasanos peds gastro associate. I think she does all of the peds biopsies. Dr. Fasano is great and I was lucky to have him as a teacher in the past and be able to consult with him via email prior to coming in. You are very lucky to have gotten your LO in to see him so quickly. With all of his research, teaching and clinical duties...

Claire, thanks thats great info. Did they not allow you to be there for the start of anesthesia or was that by choice? I really want to be there. Do you recall if they gave her valium or anything first to relax her or did they do gas then general(IV) or just general (IV). DS does not do well with needles/being held down. We're about 40mins away too...in...

Thanks for the responses. Though I will try not to worry, as a parent, we all know thats impossible. I'm hoping that the biopsy comes back conclusive. I know there is risk in false negs, but for when my son is 12yo and asking why we put him on this awful diet, I'd like to be able to say...your biopsy was positive- you have celiac for the rest of your life...

My 22mo son is only gliadin IgG positive but also has low IgA which likely skewed his other tests to be falsely neg. I just saw Dr. Saftka at Univ of MD yesterday and she said that in kids 3 and under, +gliadin is very specific of celiac disease but biopsy is still gold standard for diagnosis. DS has his next thurs. I can let you know but we"re expecting...

My 22mo son is having issues gaining weight and growing (now back up to 24lbs, 34inches). He has some constipation issues and the typical celiac look. Of his blood tests only the gliadin was positive, which Dr. Saftka (Univ of MD) says is highly indicative in <3yos. His IgA was low so his IgA TTG, EMA, etc were most likely falsely negative. We saw Dr...
