Robin redbreast
Thank you for your reply. It has been quite literally hell theses last few months. He was very sick and since the GF diet was started he has improved so much, which I think will help with his ability to say no to GF food when it's offered. My 10 year old daughter has also been very ill. They thought she may have had a brain tumor , with so many scary symptoms, thankfully she dies not. The GP suggested she see the Gastroenterologist as my son had been diagnosed and they confirmed she also has Coeliac disease, then they suggested my husband and I have tests and I was confirmed 3 weeks ago ( endoscopy procedure is awful)!!
We are now eating GF and my daughter is also feeling so much better and I am Losing weight so there is always a silver lining to every cloud.
As for my son, my husband and I tell him he is our hero every day. He copes so well with all that the world has thrown at him and although we all have our bad days , every day is a little better than the last.
I am now humbled by all those who deal with type 1. I just hope that I can be a good enough mother to be able to arm him with all he needs before he goes off to into the big wide world, plus also praying for a cure like everyone else I'm sure.
I am waiting to hear back from diabetes.uk as I would like to meet parents in a similar situation, I do feel very isolated by this, it has certainly showed me who of my "friends" are.
Hope you are well
