Celiac Disease Second Opinion: Jack's Story
Jack, 12, was diagnosed with celiac disease and is adjusting to life without gluten. His family appreciates Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s thorough approach to making the diagnosis and the support they have received in making the transition to gluten-free eating.
The first signs of Jack’s stomach problems started when he was 4 years old. He would often throw up in the night, interrupting his sleep. Despite countless tests and appointments, doctors couldn’t figure out the cause. It wasn’t until he was 8 years old that an endoscopy showed signs of damage to the lining of his intestine, a possible indicator of celiac disease.
