Celiac/Was Possible Failure to Thrive?

[Guest guest]

Incidentally, for those of you with kids who screened negative on the

initial celiac test, but who also had high IgG reponses:

There's a new report circulating about screening for CD. Either the

medicos made a mistake and should have recognized high IgG as an

alert for possible CD, or there's another form of CD that only shows

a positive IgG. In any event, it's the biopsy that truly confirms or

denies the presence of CD.

For you newbies, this means that if you want your child tested for

CD, do it before starting the diet. Otherwise, you'll have to put

your child back on gluten for several weeks before the biopsy can be

done. (For some of us, that means weeks of sheer hell and not worth

it.)

> You can't " develop " celiac. It's not really a " disease " but a

disorder.
