WOW! What a story, Sara. It sounds like you've been through A LOT! Obviously, stick with the gluten-free diet for your daughter since you've seen amazing results. From what I know, if you have Celiac, I believe that you have a 100% chance of passing the GENE onto your offspring. But whether your child ever DEVELOPS Celiac Disease isn't necessarily a given. But again, keep doing what is working for you. If she's on a gluten-free diet, I don't think she can ever develop Celiac Disease b/c you need to have three things: (1.) the gene, (2.) a "trigger" like a virus, stressor, etc., and (3.) you need to be eating gluten. Obviously, I'd make sure she has a good gastroenterologist and allergist that you consult with regularly. Good luck!

She can have gluten sensitivity which is a separate gene. It has many of the same symptoms as celiac, but may not be so serious with the health implications as celiac. They're still investigating the problems that go along with gluten sensitivity. Also, using Feingold diet has been helpful for us as a family in improving mood. They have a website.

Good for you for following your instincts.

Hi, I'm new to the site. I'm a mom of 3 girls. All 3 have celiac. And my husband has celiac as well. My husband was diagnosed in March 2008 and we had the girls tested immediately after. Its nice to find a site like this.

Hi everyone...I just wanted to update you on an important new enhancement to GlutenFreeTravelSite ( http://www.glutenfreetravelsite.com ). In addition to a streamlined new home page, we have added the ability to narrow your search of our database of 800+ gluten-free dining and travel reviews to the town/city or zip code level. The results come up on a Google map, and you can click on any establishment to read the user-submitted review.

To try it out, you can go to Search Reviews ( http://www.glutenfreetravelsite.com/search.php ), choose a broad geographic location, and then click on the "narrow your search" link OR you can go directly to the mapping page at ( http://glutenfreetravelsite.com/maps/map-locator.php ).

We are proud to be the only review-focused site where you can get personal, detailed feedback on some of the world's most Celiac-friendly restaurants, grocery stores, hotels/resorts, and cruises. And you won't just find the "same old" list of chain restaurants you find on "directory-style" sites. Most places reviewed are independent restaurants, stores, and even B&B's you may not have even heard about.

We would very much love your help with something...please submit your own gluten-free dining reviews of your favorite local places -- or places you've traveled. That way, we can continue to help others on gluten-free diets find new and safe places to eat. It's super-easy and just takes a few minutes. Just go to Submit Review ( http://www.glutenfreetravelsite.com/submit.php )

I am new to this site but not new to the GF and Celiac arena in general. I am also a children's author and LOVE kids all over the world.

Sorry my kids didn't get a rash but they did have really sensitive skin. They also got canker sores - alot of them. All of that seems to have vanished! Yeah.

OK moms, question. Did any of your kids get the celiac rash? The blister rash on my son's leg is getting worse. They seem kind of hard and yellowish and then fluid comes out. Is this familiar with anyone>?

Comment by FRANCHESKA on December 2, 2009 at 8:42pm

WELL! My oldest DD and I are GF and today I noticed an odd blister on my 18 mo old son's leg. Now I am worried he has Celiac too.
