ARCHIVED 5 Weeks At A Residential School This Summer
dcns65 posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

My son has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. At age 13 he wasn't gaining weight or height, his appetite was minimal and he was becoming sad. He also has ADHD and mild autism. The pediatrician was great about ordering a Celiac test right away and also checked his thyroid levels due to an enlarged thyroid upon palpitation. His results came back EXTREMELY...
