We have three children, two are adopted and one is our biological child. Our biological child is the one with celiac. Two weeks ago, his AST and ALT were retested and they were getting very close to normal. I knew the enzymes were getting better because his poop was starting to actually look normal. Two days ago he started having classic celiac symptoms...

Celiac runs in my husband's family. With our son, who was diagnosed early (right around 13-14 months) his behavior was clearly indicative of pain (inconsolable, coudn't get comfortable, waking up in the middle of the night crying in pain); however, my sister in law has a child with autism and celiac. Her experience was that her son's behavior wasn't obviously...

My 19 month old son was diagnosed with celiac in September 2012 at 13 months. I nursed him until 16 months when he self-weaned (too busy chasing his big brothers.) At the time of his diagnosis, his AST and ALT were quite high (in the 400s.) We immediately went gluten free and his symptoms were better within 36 hours. We thought, "Whew! Crisis averted...

Yay! My little guy was diagnosed at 14 months and he's in the 97% for height and weight. Gluten free doesn't have to mean not thriving.

I have a 19 month old who was diagnosed at 14 months. When we first found out, we cleaned out the fridge and cupboards and separated them into "regular" and "gluten free" spaces. The gluten free shelves are the shelves that are within reach of our child with celiac. Any refridgerated gluten products are stored up high or in our second fridge in the basement...

My practice area isn't full-time family law, but I've handled a couple of cases where the child had medical needs. It's really important to have a confirmed diagnosis with doctor's instruction. If he doesn't comply with doctor's orders, then consult your attorney. For some parents (on both sides of the fence), controlling a child's diet is perceived...

My 18 month old has vomited within minutes of ingesting a gluten pretzel, by accident. If it's a "hidden gluten" like a spice that contains gluten and so it's not a huge amount, he'll have a white, runny, burning poop about an hour or two later. In both circumstances, he'll be sick for 1-2 days.
