What are the symptoms for celiac sprue in an infant and how do you diagnose it in an infant?

See below: The symptoms may present as failure to thrive, with inadequate weight gain, and a possible effect on height. Your child may also have chronic diarrhea. The gold standard for diagnosis is a biopsy of the small intestines. Labs can be ordered, which may help in the diagnosis.
