You're right Meercat - every circumstance is different and we should not judge anyone until we have walked a mile in their shoes! I am sorry if I caused any upset - it sounds like you guys were doing it really rough and you made an educated, informed decision on the best welfare for your child. I applaud that

What I do not applaud or agree with is people like my friend, who knows NOTHING about coeliac and gluten intolerance, nor any of the associated possible syndromes, suggesting that I simply take my DD off gluten. I may have jumped down her throat a bit For us, it is less clear. DD is a happy, healthy 3yo who has no obvious signs of anything, apart from the dermal sensitivities and sometimes a bit of a funny tummy. So we are a little less clear on what's going on. And due to my mum's diagnosis and her chronic illnesses that have stemmed from undiagnosed coeliac, I want to be sure.

But - that's getting ahead of myself. I can ring between 2pm and 3pm for BT results. I will cross the bridge when I come to it as to whether we need gastroscopy/endoscopy or not. I read on the coeliac society website that sometimes in kids under 4 they recommend a repeat BT in three months as the results can be inconclusive, so that is better than contemplating a GA.

One step at a time for us.

(ETA - just re-read that, we really shouldn't judge anyone at all, but I hope you get my drift...)
