A Journey Through the Nexvax2 "Celiac Disease Vaccine" Clinical Trial
Ecgmmom commented on Kelly Carter's article in Spring 2019 Issue
Thank you for sharing your story! I am a mom of an eight year old little girl diagnosed a year ago. She too has violent reactions, although the more frightening part is that one of them is neurological; her legs go numb and she cannot walk. We bought the NIMA device last May and it has been instrumental in allowing our family to travel and eat out again like... -
Nima Sensor maker Nima Labs Claps Back Over Gluten Sensor Data
Ecgmmom commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns

No infusions were ever offered as she was only anemic once several years ago....her body managed to keep the hemoglobin up by depleting the ferritin! -
My 7 year old was dx with celiac disease in December, via blood and endo after we took her to Stanford for chronic low ferritin (only "symptom" since 18 mos old). Fast forward four months, she is gluten free and tells me she "finally doesn't have a tummy ache every day". I am heartbroken that I didn't realize any of this sooner. Ever since we have been...
