    My daughter was diagnosed over a year ago with celiac disease (she was 17 mo. at DX). Her serologic tests were negative (although done by our pediatrician, so I wonder if she ordered the appropriate tests). We went to a GI after her symptoms of weight loss and diarrhea didn't subside. The GI encouraged us to have the endoscopy and the findings were suggestive...

    Thanks, everyone. There wasn't a FB group specifically for parents of Celiac children, so I wanted to start one. As a parent of a newly diagnosed toddler and living in an area where there is currently no support group for parents, I really need to connect with other parents dealing with similar issues. Have a great day!

    Hi Everyone, For anyone who does Facebook, I started a "Parents of Children with Celiac Disease" group. I use Facebook often and thought it might be another route to giving each other support. If interested, type in the above group name into the search and you'll come across it. I made it a "closed group" so you first have to request to be a member...

    Hi Everyone, My 17 month old daughter has been gluten-free (or at least we've done our best) since early May 2009 after being diagnosed with Celiacs. The first week was very tough and she rejected almost everything we gave her. Slowly, she started to eat better and each week her stools were more formed and we thought she was gaining weight.

    Hi Valerie, This is interesting and I'd like to hear what your GI says. I have a 17 month old who was diagnosed last month with Celiacs. Shortly after we took her off gluten, she started to have these "spams" where she grits her teeth, shakes and turns red in the face. She'll have anywhere from 0-10 spasms a day and they only thing we see in common...

    Hi Everyone, My 16 mo. old daughter has been on a gluten-free diet for one week (she was diagnosed with Celiac on 5/5/09 after the biopsy results of her endoscopy). The rest of the family is maintaining our usual diet and trying to do more gluten free meals when possible. I am just overwhelmed with all the possible "gluten contamination" issues and feel...

    Congrats to you and your daughter (and family)! We've only just begun this "journey" and it's so encouraging to hear about the positive outcome you've had. I hope I'm feeling the same way next year. All the best!

    My daughter was just diagnosed with Celiacs a few days ago. Her stools were often very, very grainy and light in color (almost tan). We've only had her on the gluten-free diet since the diagnosis, so we still have some of these stools. How long does it take until the gluten is out of her system?
