ARCHIVED What Were Your Kids Symptoms?
blossom3 replied to agemme12's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son, who is now 18, but was diagnosed when he was 12, had a lot of interesting symptoms that we didn't even know were related to celiac until after he went gluten free.

Funny, my doctor did't even mention celiac at the time, and it would be... -
Hi all! I am a new member, but I was here years ago when my two oldest kids were diagnosed. I guess that was about 6 or 7 years ago now--they are 18 (son) and 16 (daughter). Interestingly, the reason they were both diagnosed is because of our suspicions about our youngest who was just a baby then. I appologize because there is some history, but I...
