This is my personal point of view, but especially if there is celiac disease in the family... combined with symptoms that smack of gluten sensitivity... run the antibody blood tests (including antigliadin antibody IgA, IgG) if you haven't to see if anything shows grossly positive..but even if the tests are negative, give the diet a trial to see if any of her symptoms resolve and if she begins to grow more, etc.

There are just too many cases of people who test negative but improve on the diet...not to give it try.
