Hi Patty-

I'm a pediatrician, type I diabetic for 10 years, and my endocrinologist
just tested me for celiac a few months ago and I have the antibodies.  I
have started GF even though I haven't yet had my biopsy, and I also have
noted MORE GI symptoms since.  I have my first GI appointment on Thursday
and I will certainly ask them.  Everyone says "oh now you're just looking
for symptoms" but I didn't have them before.   As a doc, I wonder if it is
because the villi are regrowing, and that's what hurts?  who knows.  Anyway,
let's be in touch-

good luck with your son, I'm on a pump and love it.  I show it to all my
diabetic patients.
