Hi All My daughter has recently been diagnosed with Celiac, her consulatant is fantastic,if anyone is looking for a Paediatrician in the UK -West Yorkshire area please contact me for his details. Thanks

Hi, no we havent thought much about is been tested yet, we only found out a few days ago about Jessica. Its been going for a few years our first visit to the Drs about it was April 2009, but our GP didnt refer us to the consultant until September 2010 but from there its gone pretty quick. I have a little boy who is four he does go to the toilet quite...

Hi All Thank you for your responses we are thrilled but completley shocked that he diagnosed Friday, when we started the gluten-free diet after a few weeks Jessica was having a really tough time i was calling him and we didnt really get a response, but apparently he was away, as soon as he was back he helped loads and had Jes in for an xray as she had...

Hi All Well Jessica has now been gluten free for 9 weeks, the first couple of weeks were up and down and then we had a really bad week after that we saw a big improvement, the dietitican at about 7 weeks wanted us to try her with barley to see how she reacted so she had oatabix and barley juice for about 4 days and then we had to stop she was in alot of...

Hi All We seem to have made progress, i will start a new post soon. xx

Hi We started my daughter on a wheat/gluten free diet in December and we noticed a change within 3 days mainly by her not going to the toilet as much and having more energy, we are now 4/5 weeks into the diet and shes much better still only going to the toilet twice a day + has much more energy, she has however had a bad week where she went back down hill...

Ok so we are 2 weeks into the wheat free / gluten free diet and after the first few days we noticed Jessica toilet visits reduced from going 4+ times a day to 2, we have also noticed her mouth rash has cleared up and so has her rash on the back of her neck, shes still had a few up and down days but its still early days on the diet, we did have a slight error...

Hi Thank you for your reply, my husband words were exactly the same as yours and we seem to be taking the backwards approach. They did blood test and they said these were all fine and shes had an xray and this didnt show any blockage, im not sure if this would show Chrons or celiac. I have started another Post after this - Topic : Update on Jessica...

Hi Thank you both for your replies. The Doctor did want to try her on the diet first to see how she responds, she had bloods done before diet and he said these were negative. He did also say the seal and gold standard diagnosis for celiac was endoscopy but he just wanted to take things a step at a time. I just dont think me and her dad will be able to...

No she doesnt really have symptons like that for wheat allergy, if you look like down this forum i did a post topics - Newbie I need help, is my daughter Celiac, the full story of her symptons are there. I havent tried her with Barley, when would you do that? We have already started Wheat free / Gluten free diet? Thanks

Hi Thank you for your reply. Im just annoyed i was hoping they could have done the endoscopy while she was glutened rather than taking her off it now and then putting her back on to it. My mum is celiac and she can tolerate a certain amount of oats. How should i expect her to be now ive started the gluten free diet, shes again complaining about the...

Hi ALL I am just updating on how things are going with Jessica. So far we have had blood tests that came back negative, Jessica had a few rough weeks early this month and she was very sick in school and we noticed slight streaks of blood in her stools, and when she wiped. I spoke with consultant and he wanted her to have an xray, when she has a bad week...

Thats good to know,thanks again, we will be following his advice and will let you know and keep you updated once we have seen the diestician. Thank you for all your help x

Hi again Thank you for taking the time time to repy your really helping me. Jessica did have blood tests in September and he said the good news was that they were all ok, however this test isnt 100% accurate for celiac and was waiting for her stool tests, now hes suggested the gluten/wheat diet. Does that seem right to you?
