Does anyone have experience of their young DC having a gut biopsy for coeliac?
My DD is 6 years old and being investigated due to blood tests suggesting she has the genetic markers for coeliac, plus she isn't growing very well and is small for her age. My understanding is that coeliac disease in children can cause 'failure to thrive'. Her gut biopsy will be at Great Ormond Street and she will be fully sedated.
I'd be keen to hear from other parents whose children have gone through this. How long did your child take to recover from the biopsy? What did the results show?
TIA
