We live about 45 min north of Atlanta. My son is four (not close to the ages you have) but I would love to find out where you eat and what you buy. There is also a 7 yr old girl that lives close to us that was diagnosed in April.

My 4 yr old's poop was green too. When we eliminated lactose, that got better within a week. I was anxious about reducing his diet again (since going gluten free). SOME (not all) GIs will allow you to give your child a lactaid tablet before feeding your child lactose. We have switched to lactose free regular milk and lactose free yoplait yogurt. Both...

Thanks for letting me share and thanks for the continued support. Although it is a difficult change, it is SO WORTH IT.

I hope it's ok to brag and not ask a question. I'm one proud momma and other parents of kids without celiac don't understand. My son was diagnosed 5 weeks ago by biopsy. We have been gluten free for 4 weeks and 3 days. In that time he has gained 4 lbs - he had not gained a pound in a year and a half prior to this. He has also grown 1 full inch in ONE...

My 4 yr old son was diagnosed with celiac 3 weeks ago. Our whole house has been gluten free for almost 3 weeks. Two weeks ago we received the call from the GI stating we needed to eliminate lactose and sucrose due to damage in sm intestine. I've since received clarity from GI to eliminate lactose and then we would assess if we needed to take out sugar...

My son was diagnosed by endoscopy almost 3 weeks ago. We noticed a change after about 2-3 days. His abdomen was less bloated within 1 day. He was running and playing instead of sitting on the couch and watching t.v. We are almost 3 weeks in and his belly still hurts, but pain is less severe and he is much more active.

Unfortunately, he wants us to stay away from fructose and sucrose. I called my ped gi today and demanded I speak to someone that could help me. I received a call from the head of nursing who was VERY HELPFUL. He told me that since my son's gut was very sick they wanted to take out everything that would trigger a reaction (and also because he tested to...

Oh, and I should clarify. The ped gi stated the sucrose and lactose intolerance is only temporary. For now, he wants us to wait 2 months before adding those food back in to his diet.

Your questions have given me the reassurance I need to call back. I didn't realize how confused I was on the issue too. So, when we went for our initial consultation with ped GI, he stated that he wanted to do the endoscopy based on the celiac panel. He stated that he also wanted to do a test to see if my son could process lactose and sucrose. He stated...

I'm just getting started (about 1 week in) to my son's diagnosis. We have chosen to find regular foods that are already gluten free. Fruity pebbles, Yopait yogurt, swave shampoo, swave handsoap (some of the cheapest out there). I'm gradually purchasing those higher end, specifically gluten free products when I'm able. I'm not sure where you live, but...

I really need help. I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to start. We have been gluten free for almost a week since my almost 4 yr old was diagnosed by endoscopy last week. I just got a call from the ped GI's nurse that told me we need to stop lactose and sucrose. I'm ok with lactose. I know they have many options out there for lactose free dairy products...

My son is almost 4 yrs. We had the scope done on Tuesday and got Celiac results that Friday. We are still waiting on Lactose and Sucrose tests and were told we would get those in one week from scope (tomorrow). Good luck waiting.

Thanks - those seem to be close to Celiac. Those are all the symptoms (except throwing up) that lead drs. to think Celiac. Thanks for all the support.

So far we were told to consult our allergist for more food testing. So I called our allergist to see where we need to start. We have started the Flovent and also Previcid. I'm not sure I know what symptoms in him look like? The nurse didn't describe it well and the internet is a little confusing. I'm like you I certainly don't want to put him to sleep...

I just received the call that we expected. The endoscopy biopsies revealed Celiac, but also Eosinophilic Esophagitis. I was expecting the first diagnosis, but the second was not expected. We have been referred back to the allergist for more testing due to the EoE. So, I'm a little confused???? If they find that he is allergic to other things, what will...
