Dylan Dreyer shares an important health update related to her son.
THE Today meteorologist said his 6-year-old son calvin– which she shares with her husband Brian Fichera-had been diagnosed with celiac disease.
“The blood work came back with the results of his celiac disease,” she said. Today in an interview published on May 24. “I didn’t know anything about celiac disease. I knew a friend of a friend had it, and she couldn’t eat bread. That’s basically the knowledge I had.”
The diagnosis came after Calvin suffered from stomach pain, earaches, rashes and hair loss for about a year. His stomach pains reached a point where he was “hunched over in pain”, leading his family to rush him to hospital for fear of a ruptured appendix. It was this visit to the hospital that prompted the family and doctors to conduct further research into his condition.
