My eleven year old daughter is a type one diabetic and we just found out that she needs a biopsy to see if she has Celiac Disease. I am worried for her and would appreciate answers from anybody who knows about this disease. I am a type one diabetic and a celiac. I recommend celiac.com, the website has great recipes and a good message board! I suggest you join te board, the people are great and have always answered my questions. A great book is "Celiac Disease: The Hidden Epidemic" I dont remeber the author, but the book describes how the immune system works, describes in detail autoimmune reactions (like celiac and diabetes), it basiclly talks about how the body works and why your daughter can not have gluten. Heres some websites that make delicious pre-made donuts and pies...celiacspecialities.com, grandmaferdons.com, and glutenfreebreadbasket.
Good luck with your daughter! You can try www.webmd.com to see if they can answer any questions. Or possibly yahoo health, www.drweil.com
Hope this helps and good luck! http://www.celiac.org/
