ARCHIVED Switching to Gluten Free for Toddlers?
KatieB22 replied to KatieB22's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
We did see a GI when she was an infant but they didn't do much, honestly I didn't like the Dr we seen she was very rude and not exactly friendly. I'm hoping her Dr will do the Celiacs test through them and send it off because she told me they could do so. Shes being sent to a genetics counselor as well we are just waiting on that appointment to be scheduled... -

So I'm new to this and I want to add a little back story of my 3 yr olds history. She was born preemie at 4lbs 4oz, she's struggled with weight since then. She is now only 19.2lbs and maybe 2 1/2 foot tall. She doesn't even fall on the charts, not even close to being on them. The GI we did see did all kinds of blood work and stool samples when she was about...
