    Ditto this.

    Did your doctor say to do "high" gluten? I ask only because a coworkers doctor told her that even just one sandwhich a day would be enough to get good results. Also, what test are you doing? The biopsy? And who is pushing for this? I ask only because DH and I don't want to have the biopsy done and thank God DS's doctor agrees. We KNOW he has celiac...

    This actually happened to us very recently. DS is 2 1/2 and got a waffle and ate about 2 bites of it. Almost exactly 3 hours later, he threw up. But that was it- just one time, took a LONG nap, and that was it. While I agree- don't know that it got rid of all the gluten out of his system, but it wasn't days of throwing up. It's hard to deal with though...

    I hadn't put any thought to this until my parents recently mentioned they had wanted to get my son an ice cream treat then realized they shouldn't. Are there ice cream brands known for being gluten free, or at least "gluten friendly" where some flavors are fine? And what about things like snowballs, etc? This is something that I know when we're out...

    I was told DS had a "virus" and that we just needed to wait it out before he was finally diagnosed w/ celiac. I would insist on having a celiac panel run, and whatever blood tests they can run to check for allergies and intolerances. Other than having to deal w/ getting the blood drawn, these are simple tests that might be able to give you some indication...

    Coming into this late, but I just wanted to say that I htink you need to be really honest w/ the principal. I know the point of your meeting isnt' this teacher, but I think the principal needs to know. Because I agree- I think what she did was truly CRUEL. Good luck.

    This hit home for me! DS is only 18 months old, and was diagnosed just 2 1/2 weeks ago. He actually ended up in the hospital due to malnutrition, and between that stay and taking him off gluten - I feel like I have a new child on my hands. Just in the span of a month, the sweet, fun, little boy he was had disappeared. He was lethargic and wanted to...

    My recent experience - through blood tests, DS was diagnosed w/ celiac by our regular ped. We immediately took DS off of gluten and by the end of the weekend, noticed an improvement. I've heard from a few people (even on these boards) that we have to keep him on gluten so that the ped G/I can effectively test him. We saw the ped G/I the very next week...

    On the "there has to be Gluten in her system" front - my DS was diagnosed w/ celiac by his regular pedi almost 2 weeks ago. But this was after they drew blood and ran a celiac panel on it. All of the results were very high for celiac. We immediately took him off gluten and saw a change w/in a day or two. We had an appt the following week (last Friday...

    My son has recently been diagnosed. In doing research, trying to learn what is and isn't safe, yogurt has a big question mark. Big picture- it seems to be safe, but I'm finding some information that says that all yogurt isn't necessarily safe. Is it a brand issue? From this site, it seems that Stonyfield Farms yogurt is safe. Are there any brands that...

    My DS has just been diagnosed w/ celiac at the age of 17 months. No genetic testing ever done. Based on all other blood work and tests coming back normal, and his vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, lethargy, etc - they finally ran a celiac panel last week. I don't know specifically what they test for, but they drew his blood and there are 4 different things...

    Thanks Maureen- that's a help!

    Hello everyone. I'm new here - just found out my son most likely has celiac disease. We're actually waiting on the final blood results to come back, but starting Friday, we've moved to a gluten free diet and I feel like I've seen some changes in him for the better. He's 17 months old, and has been sick/ out of sorts for the past month. Just in this...
