Celiac Progression and the effect of gluten

People are often surprised when I tell them my kids "just looked" Celiac.  They often ask me what a Celiac "looks" like.  I have no words to explain it, but here are some pictures:

This picture was taken on Dennis's third birthday.
He had not had any significant exposure to gluten prior to this date.
This picture was taken one week before he began preschool.
He had been on a gluten challenge for three months.
This is his kindergarten picture.
At the time of this picture, he had been off gluten for four months.

Any questions?
