ARCHIVED Should Dd Be Tested?
MommaNerd replied to Carabearz's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I, like you, am a first timer at this. I noticed my son, who is 18 months had a significant amount of symptoms to be tested, other than just diarrhea and loose stools. If you highly suspect that she is, try a gluten free diet for about 6 weeks and observe if there is any change. Some people notice a change from the first day and some people, it may take... -
ARCHIVED Three Quick Questions....
MommaNerd replied to MommaNerd's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I agree with you mushroom!! I am not a huge fan of giving my boys soy, so I am going to have to search for an alternative to that! I don't even know about lataid milk or not. For right now, I think I will stick with almond milk until I find something that I know won't make him sick! -
ARCHIVED Three Quick Questions....
MommaNerd posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
First quick question, does Celiac Disease and Lactose Intolerance go hand in hand? A lot of what I have read states that if you removed wheat, rye, barley from your diet, you should also remove lactose. Any reasons for this? Also, since I am expecting the blood tests to come back negative for Logan, should I also request a biopsy for him? Even if they... -
ARCHIVED Did The Blood/stool/urine Tests Today
MommaNerd replied to MommaNerd's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
The lab sent us home with a urine collection bag and a couple of containers for some stool. They also put the lab slip in the same bag, so I took a photocopy of it and plan on looking up what tests the dr ordered, so I know exactly what I should be looking for. Man, I feel like I am going to medical school! -
ARCHIVED Did The Blood/stool/urine Tests Today
MommaNerd replied to MommaNerd's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Mushroom, what is the difference between being gluten intolerant and having celiac disease?? I thought they were the same thing!! Man...I need to be doing some more research!! I did describe the gluten incident with Granny to the dr, and he seemed interested in the incident. He examined Logan's diaper area to see what type of sores he had, although, since... -
ARCHIVED Did The Blood/stool/urine Tests Today
MommaNerd posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
So today, I took my son Logan, who is 18 months old to a GI dr. I described to him his symptoms and told him that I personally believe that Logan has Celiac Disease. He looked over Logan, and ordered a full panel of tests (about 15 tests in total). I asked him what he thought and he said that it quite possibly could be celiac disease, but he wasn't going... -
ARCHIVED New Mommy Of 2 Kids With Possible Celiac
MommaNerd posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi everyone. I am a mommy who just discovered that my two kids (Connor 4, Logan 18M) might possibly have celiac. After having a long discussion with a friend of mine whose child does have celiac, and after much research, I am fairly sure that both of my boys have celiac disease. My son Logan hasn't been gaining weight very well since he born. He is 18 months...
