Last week we had quite the scare regarding Sadie's health. Her "routine labwork" came back & most of the results were abnormal.
The possibility of Leukemia (or something else, not sure what - there were many things "off", the most concerning to Sadie's Pediatrician was her low platelets count) was high, along with a thyroid issue & Celiac Disease. We had a new set of labs done & this time, everything came back fine, except the Celiac Disease. We are SO relieved!!
We have an appt. at the end of March with a GI Dr. to discuss the Celiac Disease, but after discussing it with my husband, we have decided to decline any further testing. We are not going to put Sadie through sedation/endoscopy just to confirm the diagnosis. In our opinion, she's been through enough already & this testing is unnecessary for her. Plus, she already has many sensitivities/allergies to food, along with reflux issues. We're hoping that maybe *this* (GF) is the key we've been looking for all along.
So as of Wednesday, 1/22/12, we decided to go Gluten-Free as a family. It's definitely process that's going to take a little bit of getting used to (especially for Mia & AJ, they both have SPD & as a result, sensory issues with food), but so far, so good!
