Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 welcome - you may get more moms on pecanbread group but I can answer a couple of things as i've nursed 4 times - BUT wasn't celiac or SCD then HOWEVER had to go almost SCD (living off meat/water mainly) in order for the kids to have happy tummies :-) I don't think you should eat stuff that bugs her and I think you may end up with inaccurate results as you've removed gluten and may be healing as we speak - I'd say go back on and then test but A) why put you through the damage and it will bother your daughter I'm sure!! so you may just go undiagnosed -will they do the blood work now and skip the scope???? good luck eileen 13 months scd > > Hi there, > > We've done SCD going on three weeks now with a toddler daughter with > gluten sensitivity/yeast issues.
