Is there a way to test the kids for celiac without a doctor?

PCP has never questioned my husband on gluten exposure. He is very careful about cross contamination, has a separate toaster, cooking utensils and butter/jam pots but we do live in a gluten-full house for myself and the kids who bake regular scones, cakes and (occasionally) raisin bread. I would have thought his exposures would be minimal, since we clean...

I'm reluctant to change doctors since my husband last year was diagnosed with suspected Lyme disease by our PCP. No other doctors in our area think that Lyme disease is legitimate. He had been complaining of fibromyalgia, joint pain and unexplained recurrent stomach cramps for the past five years and is currently being treated with antibiotics and doing better...

Have you screened other family members for celiac disease? A lot of doctors are still ignorant about this. I'm trying to get my kids tested (against the will of my husband (who is celiac)) but am losing the battle here. Make sure he is not getting any gluten. If he complains of pain, perhaps you could ask him if he is complying with the gluten free diet...

I don't see how any diagnosed celiac wouldn't want their own children screened. My husband is the first person I know of to be like this.

Before we went, he asked his kids to bake...

He was diagnosed at age 4, very early on in life, so I don't think he is aware of the complications. His diagnosis was considered rare at the time, he had an excellent doctor but was told he'd outgrow it. I've also been told by said family friend that even if the kids test negative they may still benefit from going gluten free. People we meet are asking me...

Interesting. My husband has told others (who have asked us about whether any of the children are celiac) that celiac seems to more often be passed on to the children from the mother's side than the father's side. Also, is it normal for a teenager to dislike regular wonder bread? Or choke on it? My oldest says it's revolting and actually much prefers...

One of our 10 kids has dyslexia, another has ADD, three struggle with studies at school, another three have asthma and my oldest who does okay at school has always hated regular bread (chokes on it whenever he eats it). One of the three that struggles at school is severely learning disabled and has low muscle tone. Only the father is gluten free and...
