I need a reality check from all of you. I have been going round and round with this issue for years. Here is the bottom line:

Three children and husband - one child is short for age but no digestive issues. Nothing with husband either.

Other 2 children (twins) test results:

BOth have DQ2 (one has an additional HLA-DQB1 *0201, 0602)

One tested through Promethius Lab - all negative blood work

One tested through Enterolab - positive on Gluten sensitivity Stool test (13 units)

One is labeled as Autistic, mood disorder, learning disability, severely constipated, underweight and skin ecemia (sp)

The other is dsylexic and has always had digestive issues (gas).

When they were little both had big tummies and very brightly colored poop

My tests (Promethius Labs)

- Positive for DQ2 but negative for all other blood work

- Been dx with IBS since I was 12 and for the last month and 1/2 - severe morning diaherra

I have my doctor's appt tomorrow and I have this feeling he is going to say the same thing every other doctor has said - no problem.

Do you think that I should just ignore them all and go on a gluten free diet or are they right? It will be extremely difficult with my autistic child to go on diet - all he eats is pasta and bread. Maybe I am just looking for something to correct problems that aren't related. HELP

I forgot to add that I have multiple white matter brain lesions that no one can explain. I have been reading that may also be correlated with celiac.

About the white matter things and gluten, there are several entries about that in www.pubmed.com

YOu probably have read on all the autistic webpages where they report gluten and casein sensitivity, haven't you? And Dr. Karl Ludwig Reichelt's work?

The urine test is now done at neurozym. (peptide test for casein and gliadin)

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
