Daisy's Endoscopy

Daisy had her endoscopy and we found out she does have Celiac Disease. It was a blessing to hear that it was something easily treatable with a gluten free diet, which is found in wheat, rye, oats and barley. It's different then an allergy. She isn't allergic to wheat, rye, oats or barley, it is the gluten that is in those foods that eat the lining of her small intestine. The good news is, it's been 2 weeks that she has been on the diet and she has only thrown-up one time (and I know what it was that I fed her). She has also gained one and a half pounds already! The rest of the kids were tested the other day (they have a 10% chance of having it)and Danny and I still need to be tested (one of us are the carriers, I'm pretty sure it's Danny). Daisy has done so well about not eating what her siblings are eating. She understands that she will get sick and she doesn't want that at all! Before the diet she was throwing-up 10x's in a 2 week period and her tummy was constantly blotted and cramping. Here are a few pictures before her endoscopy...

One of Daisy's favorite meals (before Celiac), spaghetti (she won't be having typical spaghetti ever again.
