I have posted here off and on, questioning whether or not my daughter and I have problems with gluten sensitivity. I finally ordered the Enterolab test, and it came back negative! I wanted to post this, because I know the question often comes up wondering whether or not anyone ever gets a negative test from them. Well, I did! I'm relieved, but still wondering...

Marlene, I have an OT question for you. I noticed in your siggy that you were first diagnosed with Hidradenitis Superativa. My son has that and is on Tetracycline for it. Do you believe that to be celiac related?

I would SO love to try Juice Plus, but I haven't for the same reasons! I have a son whom I suspect has DH (soon to be tested), and he could really use a good vitamin. If anyone gets a definite answer about Juice Plus, please post it! I would love to find out that they truly are gluten free!

I know it depends on which BCBS plan you have, but mine covered my daughter's tests, minus her $200 per year deductible, and minus 20% for going out of network. It wasn't much money back in my pocket, but now we have met our family deductible, so I am going to order my test, which they should cover at 80%. I got a medical claim form online and filled...

thank you so much for that info!! i'm going to join now. i need to tell a friend of mine in decatur who has celiac about this, too!

Oh wow!! I could've written your post! I just tested my daughter (age 3), but I think my son who is 15, has Down syndrome, and I'm convinced has DH needs to be tested. But I can't imagine how he would ever stick to the diet. Even now, if i send a lunch from home, he finds a way to sneak and get food from the cafeteria.... I'll be interested to hear...

Oh wow! I'm near Huntsville--in Decatur. I was just posting on another thread, whining about needing good doctors. My daughter (3) got a positive Enterolab test just this week, so I'm brand new at this. My son (15) who has Down syndrome has DH, I am certain--I googled the pics and they look just like his skin. And I'm suspicious that I ought to be...

Thank you for your replies. I guess I need to take a deep breath and figure out how to do this now! I actually suspect I may have gluten sensitivity, and I have a 15 year old son with Down syndrome who probably needs to be tested. He has no symptoms, but last night I googled photos of DH and literally gasped out loud when I saw the pictures. I am absolutely...

Here's some background info: My DD is almost 4. She is in the 95%ile for height and weight. As a baby she would get a red rash around her mouth sometimes, and I never pinpointed what it was caused by, but my best guess was Cheerios. Her BMs have always been poorly formed--always soft, and often runny. She has always complained of her tummy hurting...
