- trents replied to AllyJR's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms14Confused about my results
@AllyJR, older studies placed the likelihood of the first degree relatives of those with celiac disease also developing celiac disease at about 10%. Two more recent and large sample studies place it at almost 50%. There are likely multiple epigenetic factors involved in the development of active celiac disease, one of which may be the consumption of modern... -

Her poop is totally normal since going gluten free. Once or twice per day. She eats a lot of fruits and veggies. No juice. She said the squeezing is in the spot where her food goes in her belly. Definitely not dehydrated. She drinks tons of water.- 1

Hurrah for an official diagnosis! You may want to put the whole family on gluten free, as a preventative measure for the ones not testing positive right now. Remember, exposure to gluten triggers the Celiac genes your kids have inherited from you. Keeping them gluten free now, even though they don't test positive right now, can delay triggering Celiac...- 1

@AllyJR, older studies placed the likelihood of the first degree relatives of those with celiac disease also developing celiac disease at about 10%. Two more recent and large sample studies place it at almost 50%. There are likely multiple epigenetic factors involved in the development of active celiac disease, one of which may be the consumption of modern cultivars of wheat which, through genetic manipulation, contain multiple times the gluten content of ancient wheat. You will have to decide whether or not it is prudent and necessary to require your children who have not yet developed active celiac disease (and who may not ever develop it) to eat gluten free. There certainly will be a social cost for them if you do. If you do decide to go that direction, it would certainly make it easier for you to be consistent in avoiding gluten in the home and so, to keep yourself safe.

I am a 58yo female and I have recently been diagnosed with Ménière’s and I know I have some inflammation. Having researched Menier’s from a functional medicine perspective there are a number of clinicians who see a strong link with celiac/gluten sensitivity. I am looking to eliminate triggers as regular vertigo attacks are completely debilitating and brain fog is severe. There is a family history of celiac. I had my bloods done to check but my TtIGA is less than .02 so possible IgA deficiency? My folate is low and am now on folic acid supplement. My Ferris is also on the low side and blood total protein is low indicating inflammation and malabsorption. I will see my GP again next week and am wondering what I should request as next step diagnosis? Endoscopy? I live in Ireland where celiac is prevalent so I’m hoping no issue requesting additional diagnostics.
