Ethan did test positive for Celiac Disease. His IGA test results were elevated. But with his bowel/intestinal issues the past few months, the dr thinks there is a chance that could trigger the positive result. So in 8 weeks we will take him in to check again! Yay, holding down a 2 1/2 year old while they stick a needle in to draw blood..... but its worth it to know he's being taken care of. Let's pray if he does truly have Celiac Disease that Mommy can stay strong and stick to a gluten free diet so Ethan can feel well again. From what I read once the gluten is removed from the diet symtoms almost immediately go away!!!
He did also show a very slight reaction to cat dander...but only mild. So for Now Toby is a safe cat. Since he spends most of his day outside and doesn't sleep in the house, Im not too worry. I just need to be sure to keep up on the dusting and vacuuming. His doctor said not to worry about it too much since it just barely registered. Ethan sure does love his cat.......

Hopefully this will help you know what to do for your sweet boy!
ReplyDeleteI had a good friend in OK, Kellee, who discovered she had Celiac a few years ago. The transition was a little bumpy at first, but now it's old hat and no big deal. I know you can do it if you have to!!
