Hello Again, All! We finally met with the doctor to go over the biopsy results. They are all negative! No Celiac. Great news. She still struggles with diarrhea, but has started to gain some weight. The plan right now is to get her weight and measurements every 2 months and keep track of the growth chart. In 6 months we may do some allergy testing...

We are 3 days away from the scope. I'm so nervous. We had some blood work done last week and there were some abnormalities. After about a day and a half of a lot of anxiety, I've chosen to just believe that those abnormalities are due to the Celiac that we'll be getting positive diagnosis on after the scope and that a gluten-free diet will take care...

She doesn't go to daycare. We have pretty good control over what she eats. We're just still figuring it out. The first few days to a week she had a really red bottom, but it has cleared up. Her stool has still been pretty loose, but it's firming up. It's giving me some hope that maybe it's not celiac disease after all. Of course we need to be sure...

As you all suspected, we are back on a regular diet for the next 6 weeks in preparation for endoscopy at the end of January. Bless this baby's heart. This is the part of being a mother that is really stressful. She's loving the food, but I can see that she's uncomfortable. And all to take the food away again. I know it's the right thing to do, but...

Thank you all. We are going to Ped Gastro tomorrow, so we'll see what he/she says. We have been off of the gluten for over 2 mo. When I called the office, they said go ahead and keep her off until after the appointment. I'm gathering from your input that I may end up having to put her back on it to do the endoscopy. I so dread that. I hate to do it...

My 16 month old daughter went in to the pediatrician 2 months ago with an unrelated cough. He saw that she was off of her growth curve - hadn't gained an ounce since her 12 month well-child. We mentioned she'd had diarrhea for a few days and I was concerned she might have a food allergy, as her bottom was really red. He suspected celiac disease, so he...
