So, we were supposed to be going to get his biopsy tomorrow....but now we're not. :(

Had to take him in for a strep test today....and get myself one too. He came back negative on the rapid test but I came back positive. The pedi gave him amoxicillan just to be safe since I came back with a positive. So...now the anestisiasologist (ok...I know I spelled that wrong and we'll just blame it on the strep!) won't do the biopsy. :( At least we found out before driving the 3 hours to get there!

 

Now I'm hoping that by some miracle we can get in next Wednesday...because they only do them on Wednesdays!!! Aaaahhhh!!! I don't want to wait too much longer! We've already waited a month for the biopsy....I don't want to keep feeding him stuff that's making him sick!

 

Please cross your fingers that we can get in next Wednesday! I'm hoping...

Thanks. We weren't able to get in for next week but we were able to get the following week so not too bad.  I feel a little better today...hooray for penicillin! :) At least it's just my throat hurting a little today and not every joint in my body. Don't know which one was worse yesterday!

So, we shall be patient another two weeks. Gives me extra time to accomplish things like cleaning out the kitchen and preparing the little guy and his siblings a little more.

bummer!  Stock up on popsicles for the strep, and for after the biopsy.

      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.
