<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am desperate, so I hope you can help. My doctor thinks my son (age 2) may have CD. Blood work showed a high gliadin antibody count and he wants me to see a Ped. GI doctor for a diagnosis. MY PROBLEM: I can't get into the GI doctor until May 4 - and he wants me to leave my son on a gluten diet. My son has been so sick for a month (was virus, now ????), with daily diarrehea sometimes with vomiting, and incredible bloating of the stomach. He has been on a gluten free diet for 1 day - and already seems better. I cannot feed him things I think will make him sick again for a month! I was thinking of having my ped. order the tests now, or having them done idependently. I need to know if this is possible, and what tests I should get done now. Also, I only live 1.5 hours from Baltimore - is the Univ. of Md. and option? I hope this is not too long. As I said - I am desperate! Thank you, Carol
