<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello, We are new to celiac Disease and we have alot of questions. Our 16 month old daughter, Ashley, was diagnosed with Celiac Disease one month ago. She has already begun her Gluten-Free diet. Her antibody blood test was strongly positive. Our pediatrician says she has the "classic" signs of Celiac. However, the specialist says there is some conflicting test results with this diagnosis. He believes the results are strongly suggestive of Celiac but are not conclusive. Our Pediatrician is strongly encouraging us to wait until Ashley is approximately 12 years old to do the biopsy. We disagree. We would rather know now without a doubt if this is Celiac. Please respond with opinions and/or experiences of infant/toddler diagnosis. Did anyone else put their child through a biopsy at this age? Is the Gluten challenge painful? What are your opinions and justifications for going through with a biopsy (or not going through with a biopsy) at this age. Is there anyone in the Western Massachusetts area with Celiac children? Does anyone know of Celiac support groups in the Westerm Mass. area? ...Or anywhere in Massachusetts? Anyone have PALATABLE Gluten-Free recipes (especially snacks and desserts) that have passed the taste test of a Toddler? Does anyone know if the caramel coloring in Poly-Vi-Sol vitamins is Gluten-Free? Ken & Barbara Tardif Belchertown, Massachusetts [log in to unmask]
