In response to Bob Land's post ... As an adult type I whose celiac was more
recently diagnosed than the diabetes, I'd definitely appreciate any hints
parents of kids with both would have to offer. Do you have access to
pediatric endocrinologists or pediatric gastroenterologists? I'd think
they'd have a little different point of view than those that work with
adults all the time. It was suggested to me that a pediatric gastro would
definitely know more about celiac disease.

How frustrating to have to keep taking a child back to the hospital. I hope
your hospital is better than our local one about working with a celiac
diet. My aunt (also a celiac) has been confronted with spaghetti, cream of
wheat -- you name it -- upon entering my local hospital.

Again, I'd appreciate any insights you parents might have to share, as my
blood sugars have always bounced around quite a bit -- even when I was on a
strict 1000 calorie diet with very little variation. It seems that stress
and its associated hormones can really mess me up. I'd imagine that growth
hormones in kids are equally troublesome.

Who is definitely a long-time (35 years) type I.
