So now that we know she definitely does have Celiac Disease our lives have gotten harder and easier at the same time. Harder because she has to be gluten-free and easier because since I know what food do and do not contain gluten. Also, her allergies and asthma seem to be getting better since she has been completely gluten-free. It makes me think that she has a weak immune system since Celiac Disease is an auto-immune disorder which would make since that she gets sick very easily and has several environmental allergies.
I called Dr. Semancik's office last week to give them her 3-month update and they were very pleased she was doing so well. The very next day she became sick with a cold & ear infection that has now turned into bronchitis and has been out of school for about 7 days. She is currently on breathing treatments and just finished up her antibiotics yesterday. The weather has gotten much colder here recently and she always seems to get very ill this time of year.
Now that we have Celiacs under control; it's just the normal day to day routine of dealing with a child who has medical issues...story of my life...
