[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 324988, member: 3419"] There are two celiac tests. If you do the blood test, be sure you have an expert read the results, because most pediatricians will assume he's got it, when in fact, their is a more detailed layer of info to be read. The other thing is, he can have the invasive test done, which is to see if the villi are flattened. No fun at all. Save that for later. You can go through your house and throw out or give away all wheat products. I was doing it piecemeal and it didn't work (although I still have Quaker Oat bars in my locked ofc.) But I mean the bread, pasta, etc all has to go. Replace every bit of it. Work it into your budget. It is worth it. (If you think it's expensive, consider how much you pay for pharmaceuticals and dr appts!) Assume, even b4 he is tested, that he is allergic. The only thing it could hurt is your budget. :) Tell difficult child that if he has celiac disease, he can get cancer. No kidding. You know how defiant these kids can be. Do whatever you have to do. If he does not have it, explain how an allergy sucks the nutrients out of his system. Get the dr to explain it. Call the dr ahead of time and make sure s/he is on the same page with-you and doesn't blow it off as "just an allergy." In the meantime, you've still got to deal with-the laundry, and his inability to react to his body's signals. I'm going to ask my difficult child how much he remembers of all of that and see if I can get some ideas. [/QUOTE]
