celiac3270, I didn't realize that you had been hospitalized. I am glad to hear that you are home again after your second hospital visit and pray that this surgery will be the answer for you. Cheers, Ruth S. Strack 2004

celiac3270, Wishing you a speedy and uneventful (except for happiness and joy) recovery. Rest, then let us know how you are doing.

(By the way, which hospital were you at for this surgery?)

Columbia Presbyterian -- the same hospital that Dr. Greene and my GI (celiac-specialist) practice at.

And thank you....the swelling went down a little bit with the pill--and I've just been relaxing, posting, and reading (right now it's Bringing Down the House -- a NY Times bestseller that I'm really enjoying right now).....no further incident w/ anything :)

Hi celiac3270.....hope you are doing better. Who is the dr that you see at Columbia. I called ther last month to make an appt as I am moving to NJ this week and wanted to see Peter Green. Of course he is very busy and does not take my ins. They suggested that I see an associate. I think her name was Dr Lee.

I didn't make the appt yet but would love to hear about your experience there.

I saw a GI dr in NJ last month and he was OK....not Columbia material though.

Take care of yourself,

Dr. Green doesn't take children so, since I'm only 14, I see Dr. Joseph Levy. Everyone, it seems, who has ever had him has been extremely pleased--he takes the time to talk to you, confident, reassuring, etc. He's only a pediatric doctor, though....I assume that you meant my normal GI, who specializes in celiac, at Columbia

Awwwww... I feel bad, I haven't been around and didn't know! I'm so glad you are home. FYI -- if you (or anyone else) ever needs any kind of ng tube again (let's hope NOT) ask the nurses for chloroseptic when they place it, and for as long as you have it. Doesn't remove the pain entirely, but for some people it can help take the edge off.

Let's pray this is going to make the difference for you, after so much searching for help! You're the man! :)

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks. When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Will definitely keep you posted. We live in Japan and will fly to Australia for the endoscopy end of April so until then, for the next ten weeks, we will just start adding gluten daily. 2 slices of white bread a day is what the guidelines seem to say. But I welcome advice from members here who have done successful gluten challenges. I know they...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      @melthebell, keep us posted. We are learning more and more about gluten disorders as time goes on. One of the things that has become apparent to me is that gluten disorders don't always like to fit into the neat little pigeon hole symptomatic and diagnostic paradigms we have created for them. There seems to be a lot more atypical stuff going on than we once...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write. I have been reading a lot about this and it definitely is not straight forward. My first port of call is the gene test - probably should have had it done before we left Australia because they don’t run the test in Japan. So I’ve ordered a third party test kit and just swabbed his cheek. Then we start the glu...

They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.

I know they are not always successful.    I have also read I should monitor his growth. Is that really a concern for 10 weeks of gluten consumption? He is growing and has always followed his curve but he’s no basketball player at 20-25th centile.
