My MIL passed away a couple of years ago after being diagnosed at 70 with serious internal organ damage due to undiagnosed coeliac (it was listed on her death certificate as a main cause). Since then my DH has had a negative blood test but after the camera down his throat they've started to do more tests for him as he clearly has gastric issues.
Our 7 year old has never been a big eater, food doesn't interest him so he's always had a small appetite (though will generally try most things in small portions). Since October he's regularly talked about stomach aches, he'll vaguely point around his tummy but to me he looks thinner (though a growth spurt in height may have contributed to that). He's paler (but it's winter) and just a bit more lethargic than usual. I spoke with school, no issues. Quizzes him gently to see if anything worrying him at school, doesn't seem to be.
I had him checked by the GP before Christmas as he had a virus and he mentioned the stomach ache then (annoyingly I didn't think to mention the family history re Coeliac). The GP said come back in NY if it persists. He's barely eating, his diet is full of healthy food but I'm worried now. Will GPs investigate for Coeliac at 7?
