Jacob is 10 years old and was 5 years old when diagnosed with celiac disease.
At what age was your child diagnosed with celiac disease?
5 years old
What symptoms was your child having before being diagnosed?
Extended stomach, flu like symptoms for 9 months.
Any other family members diagnosed with celiac disease?
Jacob is adopted so it was harder to diagnose.
How has your child’s life changed since being diagnosed?
He has been a joy to be around, we all eat gluten free, I am an advocate for gluten free and many people have gotten tested.
What advice would you offer a parent who’s child was just diagnosed with celiac disease?
Don't stress, not as hard as it was many years ago, there is lots of help out there.
Jacob we LOVE 4-H - what a great organization to be involved in! I hope you are doing well and enjoying life!
Awesome Mom for being an advocate and telling others about celiac disease and gluten-free living. And yes, it's definitely hard to swallow at first, but don't stress about the diagnosis and know that there is support like us out there.
