<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear fellow celiacs, Help! I cannot think of anything else I can do. My friend has 2 daughters ages 7 and 9. They are adorable. BUT--the seven year old is normal height, but skin and bones. The nine year old is shorter than her sister---she is shorter than my 5 year old girl!!! Her doctor gave her blood work prescriptions/orders last summer 2003 to get the blood testing for celiac done. My friend's husband has told her he will not let her get the testing done---and she just goes along without arguing. ARRGGGHHH! His Mother---(my friend's mother-in-law) has celiac--so the genes are possible. I can bear with an adult who will not get tested---but not a parent refusing to test the children!!!! I watched the girls turn green yesterday after they ate a sandwich--and they got very quiet....I need help with any ideas. I have given my friend a lot of literature and articles, but it is not helping. THANK YOU! Patty *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
