    We have tried LOTS of different gluten-free play dohs and by far we like Skwooshi the best. It is cheap, cleans up well, doesn't stink, lasts a long time, and my boys really like it. You can get it in activity sets or alone. Open Original Shared Link It feels a little different than Play Doh but we use our play doh pasta maker and dentist with it and it...

    Thanks for the articles and older posts, those were very informative. Gets a bit frustrating when you are doing everything possible and it's not working. Oh well, I guess we will get it right one of these days I am glad she is doing better!

    Thanks for everyone's insight. We are going to the pedi GI today. I meticulously went through everything we eat and we did change gluten-free flours about 8 months ago, started a few things that are gluten free (verified with the company that it is a gluten-free facility) but not certified, and started eating a new gluten-free ice cream that is produced...

    I have two boys with Celiac ages 6 and 8, diagnosed with endoscopy at 3 and 5. Do the blood test and if it comes back positive do the scope to get a formal diagnosis. Don't stop gluten without a blood test. Knowing all the problems we are dealing with trying to get the school district to cooperate, if we didn't have a medically diagnosed condition they...

    My two boys were diagnosed with Celiac 3 years ago. My 3rd grader's IgA levels were slow to come down after going gluten free. The first year he had an IgA of 28, a year later it was 18, six months later 14, and six months after that 9. He just had another test and it came back at 38. We are on a strict gluten-free diet, there is no gluten in the house since...

    I have two boys with Celiac...1st grade and pre-school. We were just diagnosed in July of this year. My younger son was much easier to deal with in the classroom, I think in part because his class was much smaller (6 kids vs. 26). He had the same issues with snacks and getting glutened. We had all children wash their hands when they got to school, during...

    My son has been diagnosed with Celiac and he is getting glutened. Best I can tell, it is coming from his 1st grade classroom at school. Everyone is aware of his Celiac, there are doctors notes/diagnosis on file, we have met with the teachers, nurse and principal but there no 504 in place. Here is the problem, I believe. The students eat snacks everyday...

    thanks for your response....we are going to get the biopsy, largely in part of school requirements.

    Apparently both my son's have high tests results...I was wondering if there are any doctors that will give a positive diagnosis off of the blood test alone. Meaning no biopsy? Thanks!

    I have the same question, I have read some studies that say the chances of a false negative coming back on the biopsy are higher than an false positive on a blood test when the TTG is over 100. Any thoughts?

    Here are the lab results on both of my boys...

    I have done some research and was wondering if a biopsy is really necessary for either of my boys. They are 3 and 6 and we do have a family history of Celiac. Here are their blood test results.

    Sorry I am new here and not sure if this has already been posted... I just got a call from my pediatrician and she said my 3 year old son's blood work came back and all the markers were positive for Celiac. She said the next step is to get a scope and biopsy done to confirm. She also suggested the whole family get tested for it. So my questions...
