I want to have people who understand me and know what I am going throuhg and understand what I am feeling. I think that all celic kids can help me. I apologise for any of my weird replies that you might get from me. I still am trying to figure out how to work this thing. Feel free to e-mail me with any tips. I have a lot of questions.

I was 13! excuse me!

Jkjk I really know how you feel, when I first came to the board I was like the only kid on it and I was like 11-12 I think, I'm not sure. I'm glad more teenagers came to the boards!

I saw in one post that someone was 7... I had to look at it twice. Maybe it was a typo. I think it was in the recent thread where someone asked for help with a survey for medical school or something

I think that might have been the child's mother posting for the child...

I am not a teen, but I am checking in because I was not sure my 11 year old could post here. I do see some of you are not yet teens. My daughter does not have ANYONE in her life who is a celiac and I think this would benefit her. However, I do not want to break any of the rules of the forum by letting her post in this section if she is not supposed to. Is there a section for younger children that I am missing? Tommorrow is her last day of fifth grade. Does anything come up here that would not be age-appropriate? Thanks!

I allowed my daughter to post here. I saw nothing in the membership rules about age

New Board Guidelines/Rules

Welcome to Celiac.com's new message board/forum! If you were already registered to use our site's old board you will need to re-register here in order to be able to make posts. Our new board uses completely new technology which greatly surpasses our old board, and we hope that you make full use of its new features, including the ability to chat directly with individual board users.

Also note that message board/forum registration is not the same as registering at Celiac.com. You must register here on the board page in order to use the boards.

Note that if your browser or firewall is set to not accept all cookies you may not be able to post on the boards.

Below are the basic rules of the board. Generally speaking users who break these rules will get two warnings, and if there is a third rule violation they will be banned from the boards. Serious board violations can result in an immediate ban. The rules are as follows:

* Do not be abusive or otherwise out of line towards other board members. Show respect for each board member, no matter what you think of their post(s). This is not a place to quarrel.

* Do not promote your own business, Web site or products.

* Do not spam the boards (i.e., post the same thing in multiple topics or areas of the board to bring more attention to your post).

She was nervous about her biopsy procedure and felt very comforted by everybodies kind words. I do not know what would be age appropiate in dealing with a disease called celiac, it spans all ages, and message boards/support groups can help children, teens, adults to deal with issues surrounding it. If somebody has an issue with an 11 year old asking questions or desiring support here, it should not be called an open forum. An alternative is to have a section for the preteens, they need support too.

Oh, of course she can post. We were just surprised (positively) that someone of such a young age would taken such an active interest in this. :)

It would be cool not to be among the youngest here :lol:;)

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
