TL;DR Summary

A mother shares her harrowing experience of her 20-month-old son, Arthur, being hospitalized for a week before finally being diagnosed with coeliac disease. Arthur experienced symptoms such as vomiting, weight loss, weakness, pale skin, lack of growth, and an enlarged belly. The family tried various methods to get him to eat, but nothing worked until he was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease. Coeliac disease is often misunderstood and can lead to serious health complications if left undiagnosed. The mother hopes to raise awareness about the disease and the importance of a gluten-free diet for those affected.
