DD2 starts reception in Sept. her school has a no packed lunch policy but won't do a gluten free hot meal without a doctors letter.
We believe DD2 is probably coeliac. Her grandmother, uncle and cousin all have formal diagnosis but we only got her the blood test (aged 2) and it was negative. Even her pead was surprised as her symptoms are so classic but he said the next step was a general anaesthetic and endoscopy after 10 weeks on a gluten diet. We refused this option as we had already moved her to gluten free and it had made huge improvements so we weren't willing to expose her to 10 weeks of misery.
What should I do about the school? Is this a common policy?
