......on to the scope tomorrow!  I'm not sure to be happy that the biopsy was negative for DH and hold out hope she doesn't have Celiac, or be upset we still have to go through with the scope....or both.....

 

 

Any advice on how to make the procedure and 'recovery' easier on her?  She is 2 1/2...

Bring her favorite stuffed animal or doll. If the nurses are willing, they can pretend to take its blood pressure, listen to its heart, and have it try the gas mask on before doing those things to your daughter. We had great nurses who even put a band-aid on my daughter's stuffed animal after pretending to take out its IV. My daughter thought it was hilarious, and it definitely relaxed her.

I hope it goes well tomorrow!

I'm sorry! I was hoping that the result would come back from the rash so you didn't have to do the scope! I wish I had advice but we don't have our scope until July 3rd for my little guy (6) and I have no idea what to expect really. I don't know if he's going to be in pain afterwards or not or even really how long we're going to be there from start to finish. I think I need to put in another phone call and ask these questions.

I'm hoping it's like all the other surgeries we've had the last couple times we've gone in....where they give him the stuff to make him all loopy and then after that kicks in...then they do all the other stuff! He's my tough guy though. Needles only bother him a little bit. None of the screaming and carrying on that his 2 older siblings used to do! Those two made it sound like they were being tortured beyond belief. Little guy just asks what they're doing and says ow. So different!

Good luck tomorrow! Hope everything goes smoothly and she isn't in any discomfort!

      Confused about my results

      By Russ H · Posted

      There is a predictive model for children on this link. Depends on sex, HLA genes and number of affected close relatives.  The model only goes up to age 12 so it would be interesting to know what the lifetime risk is. https://hputter.shinyapps.io/preventcd/

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      That is a very good point I do not know if they truly ever went down. With my nutrient levels all being good, CBC, metabolic panel I assumed everything was fine over the years. Now Im worried this is refractory celiac or something else

      I don’t know how common it is, but it happens.  Total IgA going up is not necessarily celiac related.  The body can make IgA antibodies against all sort of things.   But if I understand correctly that until recently you haven’t had a celiac blood test since diagnosis, how do you know that your recent blood tests are a mild rise, vs never going down to the normal range? That also can happen, although not too common. Some people with celiac disease do react even to purity protocol certified gluten free oats. Removing oats from your diet for a few months and retesting is probably a good idea.

      interesting I did not know that was that common or could take that long.  When I was diagnosed 15 yrs ago I was told just follow gluten-free diet and follow up with primary care doctor (who never checked celiac panel again). I felt way better and all the major symptoms went away. It wasn't until recently at 25 (14 yrs after diagnosis) that I thought to follow up with a gastro doctor who then did a celiac panel and noted those minor elevations 3 months ago then I got them checked again by another doctor the other week and were showing roughly the same thing.  I am very strict with what I eat and dieitican was maybe thinking it could be oat flour. I do eat a fair amount of processed food but I will not touch anything unless it is certified gluten free.  Do you see this pretty commonly with others? Having mild rises in TTG IGA and IGA who have been on gluten-free diet for years?

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?
