A member asked:

Zoey has been diagnosed with wheat, nut and egg allergy. we have cut gluten, eggs and all nuts out of her diet. now she is always hungry and pale. she eats fruit and protein and gluten free products. could this be celiac disease? help please

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Test/ dietitian: Celiac differs some from wheat allergy by creating antibodies that attack the intestines as if they were a virus. These can be found on blood tests. Celiac is then confirmed through added tests for intestinal injury. Either way you may also need to sit down with a clinical dietitian to make sure she receives balanced nutrition in spite of your exclusions.
