We have 2 children diagnosed with celiac at ages 3 & 4. My husband and I just did genetic testing for ourselves (expecting 1 or both of us to be positive). We both came back negative! Any ideas why? Could our children be misdiagnosed? Both had elevated TTG & EMA that improved on a gluten-free diet and one had very clear damage on her scope ...

I would love to have a Nima sensor, but can't justify the cost for the few times we'd like to use it. Is there an alternative that's less expensive? We can only think of a handful of times we'd like to test and don't want to spend close to $300 for that! Thanks!

Thank you for all of the input everyone! I really want to make oats work being a busy mom of 4 little ones (2 with celiac). But maybe I need to re-think the risk. I wish there were healthy breakfast options that were quick/easy to prepare (and that my kids would eat)! I'm tired! ?

We are reintroducing oats for my 8 year old. We cut gluten-free oats after her TTG remained elevated after 1 1/2 years of being strictly gluten-free. What are the safest oats to give her? I'm nervous with all the talk of the "mechanically separated" processes. Thank you!

It's a tough disease because to be diagnosed, they need enough damage to their gut. So if you want a diagnosis in a really young child, you have to make them sick enough to get a positive result. My son was 3 when we tested him (older sister had just been diagnosed). He didn't have any symptoms, but TTG and EMA were elevated, so we scoped him and he did...

My 8 year old has had a TTG level that has only been negative once in 3 1/2 years (14, <15 is negative). She has been up and down a lot and in the past year her TTGs were 22, 55, 19, 20. Her EMA has been negative for about 1 1/2 years. She is still underweight, but doesn't really have any clearly celiac symptoms even when we got higher TTGs over the...

My 7 year old's vit D is low (22)... she's been getting 400 IU in her daily multivitamin and I also give her 400 in baby Carlson's drops (when I remember...) What supplements are safe and how much do you give to your kids? Thanks!
