I have CD and I am wondering about my 4 year old daughter.  She seems healthy
and active but she always has circles under her eyes, tummy aches and gets
tired easily.

I think I've had CD all my life but I was only diagnosed a year ago. (I'm
39)  She reminds me of myself when I was a little girl.  I feel angry that
no one noticed that I wasn't really healthy when I was a child. I have an
appointment to talk to the Doctor next week.  What kinds of things should
I tell her to convince her that my daughter should at least have a blood
test.  Would it be a good idea to ask for an iron or calcium test?  I
guess I worry that she will suffer unnecessarily for a long time like I
did.
