So I've just been on a coeliac discussion forum and there's a thread about one sign of being coeliac is having long eyelashes. I've got really long eyelashes - always have - and have been diagnosed as being coeliac for 6 years now.
what's making me a bit loopy is that ds2's also got very long eyelashes. This is probably only because he looks the absolute spit of me and nothing to do with being coeliac.... he had the blood test as a toddler when I was diagnosed and it was negative, but I also know children often get false negatives.
He doesn't display any symptoms, but then neither did I - I was diagnosed by accident when they were looking for other things. So.... please tell me I'm being bonkers by worrying now that ds2 might be coeliac. The only sign I think he displays is being very tired a lot of the time with dark circles under his eyes - but then he's a very active 8 year old, always on the go.
Aaarrggghhh. Tell me to ignore it!
