    My 2 year old son had the panel for celiac disease run a week ago. I called the MD office today to inquire about the results, and she had just left! Of course the nurse wouldn't give them to me. She said they are waiting for "a few more" to come back, but that she would have the doctor call me tomorrow afternoon. I'm really nervous. I have seen that many...

    My son LOVES Oreo cookies. He is currently being tested for celiac disease. Are there decent oreo alternatives that are both gluten-free and good tasting out there? He loves to share them with his grandfather, and I am planning ahead for an alternative! Thanks. Jessica

    Thanks! I really believe (not that I want this) that he has celiac disease...not just sensitivity. It just "fits" to well. It explains the lactose intolerance that is rare for this age group, and has only been helped a littel with the lactose free diet. It explains the stools, and the fact that he's only in the 5th percentile for height when his dad is 6...

    Believe me, I don't want him to have to undergo the biopsy. I have quite a bit of medical training myself, and so I definately don't mind questioning the docs....it comes with the territory (especially when you're a mom). As for prolonging his suffering....he's not! I took him to her, not because he doesn't feel well, but because he has really loose, mucousy...

    Thanks. I'm really not at all concerned about Nate's development as it is right now. He speaks a ton, and all other areas of development are fine. His GI doc is great in my opinion. She was the one that mentioned celiac...I really thought it would be the whole "paranoid mom" thing. She ordered all the tests, and said just to wait for the results to come back...

    Have you tried Alimentum formula? My son was on it because he was "milk sensitive" and the cross sensitivity with soy is high. It is hypoallergenic and much easier to digest. It is also more expensive, but worth it. It smells really gross, but Nate never minded. Maybe this could help. Jessica

    I wish I had written down exactly what tests were done! I know better, but I had a tired 2 year old who had been waiting form about 3 hours, and no nap! That's enough to cause me to forget just about anything! Still, I could kick myself for not writing them down!! Thanks for all your help.

    I'm not feeding him a gluten free diet right now. She made no mention of doing that, and if they need to do a biopsy....then I don't want to mess that up!

    He had about 7 different blood tests and about 4 different stool tests. I believe they were the ones i've seen listed on this board frequently. You would think that I would have written them down, oh well. I think is GI doc is great...so hopefully she knew what she was doing (she seemed to). I know they are also testing him for milk, soy, and peanut allergies...

    How is this duplicate? I can't find my previous post...I'm new and obviously don't know what i'm doing!

    Hello. This is actually my 2nd post, but I think I did something wrong and my first post disappeared. Anyway, my 2 year old is undergoing testing now for probable celiac disease. I am quite nervous about this diagnosis since the child lives on everything gluten (or so it seems!). How long did it take for bloodwork to come back in your experiences? His GI...

    This is my first post to this board. I have a 2 year old son, Nathan. For what seems like his entire life, Nate has been plagued by a "irritable tummy." He had reflux from age 2 weeks until he was about 9 months old. When he was about a year old, he started having unusually soft to very loose stools. He was diagnosed as being lactose intolerant at age 15...
