Celiac Disease

Do you know what Celiac Disease is? Well, it is fairly common in Type 1 Diabetes patients to also have Celiac Disease. Lance has tested positive for a blood marker that predicts 99% positive for Celiac Disease. The only way to be sure is to do an intestinal biopsy which is fairly traumatic to a child (i.e. surgery). We are not ready to face the implications of this diagnosis yet...more to come. Lance will be tested for Celiac Disease again at his next appointment.
