New Dx. Lots Of ?

Hi,

My 2 year old son just got diagnosed. I have the blood test results and I am so confused. He has had issues wit hyperactivity, sensory issues and chronic diarrhea as well as poor weight gain since birth. He had a food panel IgG done and 0-2 is normal. He had several reactions to various foods with a score in the teens. His score for casein was 124 and wheat was a 31. They also tested the gliadin IgG it was 16 so a positive result but the IgA was 2 thus negative.

So where do I go from here? Do I just limit casein (diary) and wait to see a GI doc. Do they do a biopsy or other tests on 2 year olds that he needs to have gluten in his diet to get an accurate test or do we just do dairy and gluten free now?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Christina

I would recommend that you call the GI's office and ask to speak to a nurse about these questions. They may want to do further testing for Celiac, and the patient must still be consuming gluten. Hopefully they can shed some light on this, and schedule your appointment quickly!

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
