    About 2 months ago, I asked these same kind of questions (concerning all the varied reactions) to my kids' pediatric gi dr. We were referred to him because I have diagnosed celiac disease and so does their eldest sister. I've read some of the posts detailing very severe reactions and could only pray for so many of you, because despite my having been diagnosed...

    Thanks for the info Stephanie & Mommy!! The kids are pretty receptive to the changes at home. They've had so many of the gluten free foods, that it's not foreign to them. Now there'll be less distinction of what is 'MOMMY'S'. Even though I've been watching for signs of celiac disease in all of my kids for years, it's a little rattling to actually get...

    I have 2 children about to be tested for celiac disease. My dx was in 1983. Winter weather is delaying the testing, but dr gave ok to start gluten-free diet as one is showing typical symptoms & one of my other children was diagnosed at age 21 (3 other adult children, never tested). As long as tests are run soon (next week) he says this won't affect results...

    I have been with celiac most of my life (medically diagnosed in 1984). We have had 6 children. Through the years I have often mentioned the history, but since kids have not shown signs, doctors weren't concerned. My eldest child was diagnosed in her 20's. My youngest children are 6 and 8 years old and we now have a family dr attuned to my concerns!! My 6...

    your welcome......

    I agree with GFinDC about the possibility of diabetes. For me, if too many things start to feel out of synch with my body, I have resigned myself to a thorough check up. I'll consent to blood work and labs,scans... Talk openly about all my concerns. I've found that if I tell dr what my ailments are, as opposed to what I think the diagnosis is, the dr...

    HI Grey66!! Welcome to the celiac world!! It's kind of like going to a haunted house for the first time, huh?? Just take a deep breath... It IS a bit overwhelming when you realize that gluten is EVERYWHERE. I am almost 45 years old and have lived with celiac since I was 13. I have 6 kids (6-26), 3 of them are still at home. I am the only one diagnosed...

    hey Diana.. it sounds like you are trying really hard to get a handle on all of this "health" stuff. It's not easy! And when friends/loved ones struggle we can feel helpless and overwhelmed for them. Sorry to hear about your friend with MS. A few years ago, I went to dr because of pain in my feet. When my feet get cold, or are inactive for a bit (20...

    MGR~ this sounds delicious!! I love dark chocolate. As soon as my motivation returns, I will be exploring new gluten-free recipes. I am in IL, USA and we are in a deep freeze at -30 F. I treated kids to gluten-free peanut butter cookies when they returned from school today! mmmmmmmm...

    surviormom~ I'm catholic & strong in my faith. I wish, for me, that I could settle on a decision about this that satisfied BOTH my head AND my heart. I've heard this discussed briefly on catholic radio. It is acceptable to take of the cup, without the host. You are still receiving full communion. But some w/celiac would add that the cup could...

    1desperateladysaved~ I'm happy for you that you are feeling much better!! I went to dr for first time in yrs last month. After the life/death crises I thought it might be good to know exactly where I am healthwise!! I went to a GI dr to see if what I knew of celiac might be outdated. When he took my health history, he asked how I knew I have celiac. It turns...

    I was 13 years old, a sophomore in hs, still waiting for "my growth spurt" (& my first period!). I weighed 68 lbs! After weeks of "iron fortification" in the form of chewable rx tablets & raw eggs beaten into glasses of milk, my iron levels didn't come up so I was admitted to the hospital & tested, & tested, & tested. Finally, the results...
