Waiting For Test Results

My daughter is 14 months old. She had a scope done yesterday and are waiting for the results. We know that she has an IGA deficiency and are pretty sure about Celiac. We have to wait on the results to be sure, though. Does anyone have any experience with dealing with both of these? I have been worrying myself sick about this and could use any advice. Thanks.

IgA deficiency is seen a bit with celiac and that makes blood tests come back wrong sometimes. However, testing with kids under 2 can be inaccurate anyway.

Biopsies can rule celiac in but they can't rule celiac out so keep that in mind. She may still have it even if the scope results come back negative.

Now that all test are done you could but her on a gluten-free diet and if you see improvements then wether the test are postivie or negitive you can tell by a diet change.

All of my son's test came back negitive but had a postive dietary change. He was 15 mo when tests were done and 20 mo when we started gluten-free diet and 4 days latter he was a different kid. If I knew then what I know now he would of been gluten-free at the age of 15 mo.

Good luck and this is the best website if you have any questions. Don't worry about dietitions just ask questions here. My dr just told me "put him on a gluten-free diet and see what happens" . And that was all if it wasn't for this website I don't think my son would be doing as well as he is now. :D

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      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 searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      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?

      By trents · Posted

      "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.
