I do think it's always smart to go with your gut, but to also listen to doctors. Can the doctor run some other blood tests? You mentioned C.F., they can run a blood test to see if she has any of the common mutations. (My youngest sister had C.F.) The symptoms in babies are very similar when you compare Celiac to C.F.

If you are worried, could you just get vit d drops and a seperate iron supplement? That's what we do.

My baby never liked them. LOL I've only seen the regular ones though.

awwe, thank you so much. It went okay. He took between 6-8 biopsies. There was one area that looked bumpy, but he said that could be normal (like swollen lymph nodes). Matt also had some pretty thick stool (two different ones), which is very funny to me since he always has liquid poo. But the doc said that could be new moving around old. I don't think...

I used to wear him ALL the time. I even made my own sling, which I LOVE. I haven't really thought about bringing it back out since he can't be in the cradle/tummy type hold in it anymore. Hmmm, I wonder if I can figure out how to hip hold him in it. Thanks for the idea!

Huh, I've always wondered too. Matt pee's a TON. Again, I feel the need to make the disclaimer that we have not yet received a confirmed diagnosis. But this symptom is now added to the long list of other symptoms leaning towards that diagnosis.

I love my child, I really do. I love all my kids. But my baby is the most clingy baby ever. I know it's because he doesn't feel good, so I always hold him. But man, sometimes I just want to crawl into a dark hole and stay there for an hour just so I can have someone not touch me for one hour! I'm also tired of being the only one who cleans up the vomit...

An enlarged colon and severe constipation were the two major symptoms for my sister's daughter, who has a milk allergy. Her baby had severe constipation while being breastfed even. She would go 8 or 9 days w/o pooping. Have you tried putting a little teaspoon of corn syrup in her drink? That sometimes helped my sister's baby. But they have to give...

Thanks! I do keep wondering why it is going to take so long to hear the results. He (the doctor) did call me and when I asked he said it takes 7 days, but my post-op is scheduled for 10 days later. I keep hearing people mention that they heard right after the procedure or the next day. Oh man, that would be wonderful to know that quick! We are just a...

Thanks. I am a nervous wreck! And I've had these procedures done on myself, both of them! (For other issues.) That was a long time ago and I didn't have anxiety, but I sure do now! My baby is not even 2 yet, so I can't really talk to him about it, he won't really comprehend it. So we haven't said anything. I love the advice of waiting until he is asleep...

Matt has his endoscopy (with biopsy) and sigmoidoscopy on Aug 9 at 9am. How did you, as a parent, deal with any anxiety before, during, and after? We won't know anything until the 19th, which is when he has his follow-up appointment. Right now I'm full of anxiety; I'm nervous and scared. I know I'll likely not be able to sit still during his procedure...

Thanks! I will keep that brand in mind. We have a Whole Foods about 30 min away and lots of other good similar stores close by. We are not gluten free yet. We have an endoscopy scheduled on the 9th. We were doing dairy and soy free and giving him EleCare because the doctor asked us to, but 2 weeks with those restrictions did not make any change in his...

It's so hard not to compare, isn't it? We are outside ALL the time. My kids very rarely play video games (maybe one a month?), because they would rather be riding their bike or playing tag with their friends outside. When we are inside, they are usually fighting. HAHAHA!! So anyway, if he is outside playing like a normal kid plays - he is probably very...

This my kid. He is 22 months old and still in size 12 month pants and shirts. Some 18 month stuff fits him slightly big, depending on the brand. But he is solidly still in 12 month size clothes and has been for 10 months now. We had a family picture taken in Oct and he is still wearing those clothes - and they still fit him correctly. I bought him some...

Will skin contact with things containing gluten cause reactions? I'm curious, because Matt has been dairy/soy free for 10 days now but is not getting better. Yesterday, about 10 hours after his bath he had worse diarrhea and he vomited. But there was a lot of white raised bumps all over his back and chest where the shampoo was. We use Aveeno, so that...
