Laura, Actually it is only half over. The Endoscope is Monday. I am hoping it goes as easy as the MRI! I will post and let you know when we get the results from that. Thanks for the words of encoragement, means a lot, and I appreciate hearing them. I hope you get answers for you and your daughter. Didn't I read that you were thinking of checking...

Well Julie had the MRI yesterday and the nurses were great. They put the cream on the back of her hands, so when it came time for the IV she didn't even react. (It took five of us to get the hand bone x-ray done last year... she went crazy) After the first two medications they put in she drifted out ..... She was a real trooper! Once we got home she wanted...

She has the MRI first and I believe they are doing a contrast so that will be another needle. They have said the sedation willl be the kind that I can be there with her almost the whole time. Then the next week is the scope and the sleep medication. I believe they plan to put the IV in to put her to sleep with. We have to be there a half hour earlier...

Oh JEEZ, I have been pushing for the biopsy for our little one now for a year. Last year I was told I was unreasonable to expect them to order the test just because I had Celiac and she had what I thought were symptoms. (Vomits freq. weight is at 29 pounds, below the 5% in height, headaches and she is only 5 years old, mouth sores, windy, says she has ...

Yes, Dr. Sheets is an DO. I checked into their requirements for medical training and found them acceptable for me. My GI MD referred me to him when he was confused about some of my test results. During the appointment (once there I did not have to wait but a few minutes to see him, they keep things right on schedule) he asked alot of questions like...

I went to Dr. Sheets. He is in the Ohio Gastroenterology Group, Inc. They have three offices I went to the one on Olentangy River Road 614-457-1213. He took his time with me, listened to me and asked a lot of questions. Good luck!

We have 3 & 4 year olds that are possibly celiac disease. They see the pediactric GI tomorrow. Could you send me the play-dough recipe? They just love to play with that stuff. Thanks Laura lcmcafee2@verizon.net

celiac3270, Please send me both lists as well. (Unzipped if you will, I don't know much about computers and wouldn't know how to open it zipped) Appreciate you! lcmcafee2@verizon.net Thanks

Monica, The doctor has no idea yet that I feel our 3 year old granddaughter had celiac disease. We are just now getting a concept of how broad the brush is with Celiac Disease! It has only been 5 months since we even heard of it and I am in the process of documenting her symptoms. She sees a nutritionist on the 14th of this month and I am going to start...

Here is another thought about the 504. It seems like all of the folks that are on this site and post are good parents/educators that are willing to take the time to educate themselves, their children and others about the disease their child has. What about parents that do not have the mental ability to do that? Our son was diagnosed as Developmentally...

You will need the vanilla for the Vanilla Wafers! That was what I enjoyed about them I use real vanilla not the other. I think gluten-free flours or flour mixes can be ucky and the vanilla covers that taste. There is also a recipe for chocolate wafers adding cocoa, that I will be soon trying! Enjoy! Laura

Karen, I read the concern about taking Prednisone and wanted to share with you my experience with it. Taking the Prednisone wasn't too bad for me, maybe you'll be OK with it as well. I first took 10 mg for a week and did notice mood changes , but no let up on the symptoms. Then a couple of months later the doctor put me on it again at 10mg...
