It is a photo of my daughter (the one tested), and yes, I think she is too! And I think her older sister is beautiful too. Of course, I'm a very biased dad!

I appreciate what you are saying StephanieL. I'm not too worried about these immediate ones because we will test again in nine months. And the Doctor did not rule celiac out completely. He felt it was unlikely. Also, he gave us symptoms to look for, so we're happy at this point with where we're at. That said, I can ask for the results from our...

There were three tests done, but I don't have a copy, although he showed me the lab report. So, sadly, I don't know which ones were which. But he said two of the tests, the ones my little girl was negative on are the ones that if they're positive, they are likely to have celiac. The test that was positive is one that's been done longer, likely the first...

Well, we had our appointment yesterday with Dr. Seth Septer at Children's Mercy in KC. He was excellent, listened to us, asked lots of questions probing our daughter and her condition. Her blood tests included three things, and my apologies for not remembering all of the test names. She was abnormal on one, and normal on two. The one she was abnormal...

Minsky's pizza has a gluten free menu. Open Original Shared Link

Thanks for the input nmlove. One plus is our daughter is so young that she hasn't been on regular foods much at all, we're in the process of transitioning her from baby foods to regular foods, so if she does have to go gluten free, then hopefully she'll never have that much of a taste for gluten type products. Here's hoping, anyway! BTW, she had protein...

Thanks for the input lilu. Those are helpful suggestions, and if we get a positive diagnosis, will see about putting them in place. Dave

I would think any low carb style diet would be fairly easy (South Beach, Atkins, etc), as they cut way back on all forms of carbs, and gluten containing foods are loaded with carbs. But any diet that allows you to choose the food should be fine. It would seem that those that you purchase their food is where the biggest problem would lie, as then you...

It's got to be tricky when dealing with family and any type of sickness or allergy. I'm glad that my mother-in-law is really good at not assuming that she knows the answers from when she raised my wife. That's a big, big help, except she almost goes the other way. Having to deal with family though is reality, and as much as I'm sure all of us wish...

It's a Dr. at Children's Mercy, referred to us by our regular pediatrician. Just doing some quick research on the web indicates that he may be fairly new to the Kansas City area. I read a review with him in Omaha. We'll be making a list to take along with us, as it's never fun to get to the Doctor, and then forget the questions you wanted to ask...

So does Minsky's offer that at all of their locations or just limited ones? That's great that they offer gluten free!

Could be we'll have to make those trips. I'm familiar with the Whole Foods (at least the location) on Metcalf around 93rd, and we've been to Deanna Rose a couple of times, as it's lots of fun for the girls. But if we need, we'll make the occasional trip. I've also discovered that (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) has a fair...

We'll be going to a pediatric gastroenterologist in about a month for our (then) 15 month old. She's had a blood test that may indicate celiac. We're preparing questions, but are interested in ideas to be prepared to ask the doctor. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks kareng... we're up near Claycomo, so I was visiting the new Liberty Hy-Vee. I've heard that some of the Hy-Vee's have especially big sections. The Liberty store is less than a year old, and does have a pretty good section, but of course, I have no way to compare... We'll be interested in suggestions, especially once we get a firm diagnosis...
