Help With Lab Results- 2 1/2 Year Old Son

Can someone help me interperet the following....I'm wondering if a biopsy and another 3-4 weeks of feeding my son glutin is required.

Lab results for son (2 yrs 8 months):

Anti- tTG IgA 24.4 U/ml

Anti- Gliadin IgA 2.6 U/ml

Anti-Gliadin IgG 64.4 U/ml

My son is pale, underweight 26.5 lbs, < 40% height 36", low iron, picky eater and has recently become more irritable/demanding (terrible twos?). He was a good sized baby at nearly 9 lbs and 19.5 inches.

Do I need to put him through more grief ( ie continue with glutin in diet) to wait for a biopsy that may take 3-4 more weeks to confirm celiac to 100%?

All his organs are working fine regarding his failure to thrive.

I'd like to help him now, but do not want a false negative on biopsy/endoscopy

That is a tough call, knowing what i know now, I would wait for the biopsy, if u can get in within the month. That way you know for sure it is celiac(even tho with those results im postiive it is) and make sure there is nothing else going on inside.

What does your dr say do to?

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
