Coeliac diagnosis in children

[Amaunet]

I too question the wait on a Coeliac diagnosis! Regardless of his appetite his body won't be able to absorb adequate nutrients with his bowel damage! He must feel terrible, I was mess physically, mentally and emotionally before my diagnosis and change of diet

Well after the advice I have been given here and talking with my husband last night we have decided not to wait for the 5 month test. We are taking anything with gluten in it out of his diet. I realise that this will definatley effect what little he does eat, but I have to try and see if removing it will help his tummy feel better and then he might be more willing to eat better and maybe even some meat which will help his iron deficiency.

If you know of any good and simple recipes please let me know, particularly bread. He hated teh gluten free bread at the shops.
