<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Help! My 8 year old daughter who is a newly diagnosed Celiac. I am sure that it isn't easy being different, but lately she is having horrible mood swings, and cries at the drop of a hat lately. She is doing really well in school, and is starting to grow (6 pounds after only 5 GF weeks), but I can't figure out her crying and attitude. Is this normal? How long should I expect it to last? Does anyone have any suggestions for helping an 8 year old cope with Celiac?
