Celiac

In talking with someone who is gluten intolerant, it appears you CAN test negative for the antibodies they are testing for in the blood and still be gluten intolerant. There is a whole year long test they do for negative test results. It includes a biopsy. I guess we will see. Our plan was to go gluten free starting now to test AJ's intolerance, but apparently that will cause results to be skewed.

Anyway, in light of this, I'm more hopeful that my initial maternal diagnosis was correct. The fix is a simple diet change--no more wheat, oat, barley. There are gluten free products popping up more and more these days that it makes it easy for a gluten intolerant person to live a normal life. Maybe closure will come soon.
