My son Will had to get the Celiac blood test in order to get an appointment with the specialist at SickKids and it came back negative. Now my first reaction was relief, but at the same time he is not even 18 months, could this be a false negative? He still looks a bit like a Celiac kid, except he doesn’t have the dark circles around his eyes…yet. Asia didn’t either until just after she turned 2. I have heard from a source at the Celaic Association that he may not have the proper enzymes yet that the blood test is looking for. If anyone has anymore information in regards to this please let me know! We do have an appointment at SickKids on October 31st, so as long as that stays I will get answers eventually. I guess he could just be a small kid, my husband and I are not tall AT ALL, but Will’s doctor still seems concerned that he went from the 40th percentile at birth to the 2nd percentile by the time he was about 15 months. Well, stayed tuned and we’ll see what happens in October!
