There is a 1 in 10 chance that your DD has it becuase her father does. I'd contact Coeliac UK for advice about what you need to ask your GP. You do need to take some action though, because from what you say your DD is not thriving as well as she should be.

dressedup, hope you have a knowledgable GP practice. Sadly, some GPs do give some very out of date info about CD. I don't have experience of testing in children as young as yours, but it would be a good idea to do some research of your own before going to GP. Many people on this site will have really good info for you.

There are a few of us here too. With your family history, the GP should not quibble about testing. This will be a blood test in the first instance. If that is positive, a biopsy is an option, but may not be deemed necessary for a young child/baby. You should then get access to a dietician and prescribed gf food.
