Quick Question About Endoscopies And Being Sick...

So, my 6 year old is scheduled for his endoscopy on June 19th. We're FINALLY a week away....almost there!

 

Now he's sick. I'm taking him in later today because he's been complaining that his throat hurts and he's been running a fairly high fever....and he puked two nights ago (but now I'm never sure if he's sick when he pukes or if it's the Celiac's).

 

So....my question is...if he has something like strep...will they still do the endoscopy next Wednesday? My husband took off work and we have to go almost 3 hours away from home in order to have this done. Ahhhh....I hope he doesn't have strep and not just because of the endoscopy. Though...he doesn't have his tonsils so I know strep is pretty rare...but I don't know what else it could be.

 

I just want to get the endoscopy done so we can get his diet changed. It's pretty sad when a six year old is asking you to give them Miralax because they know it helps or has helped them to feel better. :(

I doubt they will do any procedure that involves sedation on a sick child.  My son had his adenoids removed and tube inserted in his ears several years ago, and we had to re-schedule the morning of the operation (we were already admitted and he was in a gown on the bed) because he had a bit of congestion from a cold and they heard him cough once. 

 

But these viruses can run through rather quickly so maybe he will be fine by then.  Positive thoughts to you!

Thanks...that's kind of what I figured. I'm really hoping this just gets through his system quickly and we're good to go next week. I can't imagine having to reschedule this. They book out so far and I don't think I could keep feeding him like this when it is obviously making him feel bad. :(

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
