I am a type one diabetic and a celiac. I recommend celiac.com, the website has great recipes and a good message board! I suggest you join te board, the people are great and have always answered my questions. A great book is "Celiac Disease: The Hidden Epidemic" I dont remeber the author, but the book describes how the immune system works, describes in detail autoimmune reactions (like celiac and diabetes), it basiclly talks about how the body works and why your daughter can not have gluten. Heres some websites that make delicious pre-made donuts and pies...celiacspecialities.com, grandmaferdons.com, and glutenfreebreadbasket.
Good luck with your daughter!

a million. harm simply by celiac ailment can't be stumbled on in the colon. Celiac is an autoimmune ailment that assaults the small gut, your checklist heavily isn't likely there, so no, a colonoscopy can not diagnose you as a celiac. it could seek for colitis and Crohns nevertheless. 2. To get a suitable gluten undertaking as a manner to get a solid celiac screening blood artwork (as long as you're actually not IGA undesirable) result and a probably solid endoscopy is to have your self solid and glutened previously the try. the well-known suggestion is one slice of bread consistent with day x 3 MONTHS. You glutening your self each and every week previously the testing isn't probably going to do lots so some distance as diagnostics in case you have been gluten loose for any quantity of time, quite. The blood artwork measures gluten antibodies which ability you have to be ingesting it long adequate to have geared up some up, and the biopsy seems for the wear and tear to the villi brought about by ability of the autoimmune equipment. If this is not inspired by ability of ingesting adequate gluten, then there heavily isn't adequate harm for them to verify. From what I comprehend the wear and tear happens from the further alongside factors in the small gut and then strikes up the gut in the direction of the tummy. that's the reason there's a desire for such long term glutening to have a likely precise endoscopy result. in case you have not been gluten loose then that may not a issue and you should be effective for the testing. additionally, do not settle for the prognosis of "IBS" with out having examined for celiac, ought to your wellbeing practitioner attempt that, ask for the blood artwork and no depend if that's refused, get your self yet another GI!!!
