I remember reading a few months ago about the possiblity of the celiac blood tests not being valid in a two year old child because
their antibodies were naturally lower at that age.  I have had both my two older children tested at the age of 2 with negative results - should
I have them retested?  Also, I have a two year old who goes for her well checkup next week.  I would normally have requested to have
the celiac blood tests run on her, but if they're invalid, I'd rather not put her through the trauma.  Should I wait until she's 3?  Is there a
recommended age to have your children tested?  I am biopsy confirmed celiac since 1990.

Thanks for any help/insight!
