12/11/2017 - Almost 2 years in - Endo Checkup

So, the only way we can be sure is to have an actual gut biopsy done on him. We have the referral and will be getting this set up as soon as possible. We looked up statistics on diabetics WHO ALSO have Celiac is only 3 - 8%…and we were just thinking how f’d up it would be if he also had this, in addition to diabetes because it would all but eliminate all the foods he currently eats and loves.

We have been going through the celiac diagnoses with our little T1 guy right now. Thanks for sharing those stats.

When we got the blood work for celiac done and had a positive result on the antibodies test. Around the same time he had loose stools (and some throwing up) and we noticed our little guy slowly stopped eating his favourite foods that had gluten in them. We also had a lot of random lows after meals, which was likely caused by the GI issues. Anyhow - since we have had a couple convincing celiac antibodies tests done (basically a 98% chance of celiac) and he won’t eat a lot of gluten food anymore (his choice), we are probably going to give the scope/biopsy thing a miss and continue on with the no gluten diet.

To all the celiac folks on this site - WOW living gluten free is expensive.
