 My daughter's story sounds very similar to Gabys. My daughter had asthma and has been tested for celiacs and CF due to contstant issues with her stools since birth. Both tests were negative. She has had Candidiasis since she was very little and nobody could explain why. She will be three in Nov. and still doesn't have all of her teeth and they have devloped differently. The dentist was concerned about her teeth and actually put her on enamel toothpaste. She is very short and has an extended belly. I myself have MS and Raynauds and a positive Scl 70 & ana. My family on both sides have a history of autoimmune disease. I don't want to overeact but don't want ingore any symptoms. Should I mention APS to her docotor? Is there any other symptoms that I should be aware of?

Yes APS-1 should be considered. Have blood calcium and phosphate levels ever been measured since hypoparathyroidism is often encountered about her age in APS-1?
Kind regards,
