    Maybe ou could post a city near you to see if anyone here knows of a good GI. We have two - one for my dh and one for my kids and they both specialize in celiac. They are wonderful! Also, my kids both tested negative the year prior to testing positive.

    I haven't. I've never heard of her before. I read the testing one just now. My kids had none of those symptoms (they presented rather unusually and with my first, we didn't even realize they were symptoms for months. My second had the same, so we knew). My husband is, though, so that's why we do it yearly.

    I've never heard of insurance companies refusing to pay, but this is my first time on a celiac board. Mine has never questioned it, so I assumed it was typical. My husbands gastro recommended we do this and our ped and pediatric gastro have agreed, so this is just how we have always done it. We have always had them eat gluten until they test positive, because...

    We test our kids yearly. They have run the celiac panel test on them each year. We started around a year and a half and have done it every fall since my oldest was little. Two are positive so far, two are not. My husband is the Celiac, I am not. I have allowed kids at home with me to have gluten when my husband was at work and when my oldest was at school...

    My oldest had his first test at 18 months and then had three additional negative tests (yearly) before testing positive at 5 1/2. My daughter tested negative three times before testing positive last week at 4 1/2. My two littlest have so far tested negative three times, so I guess we are just waiting to see now! Did/does anyone else test yearly? My...

    In theory I'd love to homeschool. In reality, I could likely homeschool some of my kids, but this particular one would kill me, LOL! He and I tend to clash a lot. He will likely end up in private school one day, anyway, because he is so very unchallenged in public. But, that's a whole other issue

    With the twilight sleep, though, you're not awake awake. I was totally sedated and remember nothing, but had none of the side effects and misery of general. I woke up feeling refreshed like I had taken a nap. When I woke up from general, I spent the next hour vomiting and then slept it off for hours. I can't see why they wouldn't do that for kids. Seems...

    Silly question, but why do they have to put them fully under? I had an endoscopy a few months ago and they use prophyphol and I was awake and back to myself very quickly. We opted not to do the biopsies with our kids (and our pediatric gastro and pediatrician both agree with us), based on family history, symptoms and bloodwork. We will likely do it when...

    He is 8 and really should be able to be safe in a classroom... but he is who he is, you know? I never know how much to push for in terms of having the other kids do stuff or not. I don't want to be the parent they ignore because they think I ask too much. I already fought his classroom placement this year and had him moved to a better teacher, so I'm...

    Honestly, just sharing pens/pencils, etc. Last year, he was in a classroom that had a less traditional set up - all tables, they chose their own seats each day, communal pencils and markers, etc. We didn't think he was getting sick (he doesn't get sick in the conventional way and never really has), we just thought he was "that guy" who spent a long time...

    My husband and son (and now daughter, as of today) have been eating Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats and Trader Joes gluten-free oats with no reactions for some time. I make loads of granola bars and oatmeal cookies and we haven't had a single reaction from any of them. Maybe the oats have gotten safer since some of you tried them? My DH was very hesitant...

    My oldest is a nail biter. He has some sensory issues (from me - yay, lucky kid got the worst from both of us. ) He is always fine at home, but now that he is back in school, we are having upset stomach issues again. We CONTINUE to tell him taht he MUST keep his hands out of his mouth, because he is his own worst enemy, but with the sensory issues, he...

    My husband is a Celiac. I was pregnant with my oldest when he tested positive (I was maybe 15 weeks?) so, a gluten-free pregnancy was already not an option. His gastro said not to worry about going gluten-free, so I didn't. I wonder now if maybe I should have? We were as careful as possible - I breastfed all four of my kids well over a year (between ...
