    I was apprehensive about the EGD for our kid at first. Turns out, it was very easy for her, minimal recovery and no discomfort. For me, after the fact, it is 'good' to know the level of damage she had to her small bowel, as she was fairly asymptomatic when she was diagnosed-- just knowing what her insides looked like really drives home how important the gluten...

    My daughter is 7, and got scoped earlier this year. She only did upper, so there wasn't the same prep. I was more nervous than she was, and she has no bad memories of the procedure. Her celiac bx was positive, and I am very glad that we went ahead and did the scope to give us 100% confidence. In hindsight, I definitely do not consider getting my daughter...
