Well I finally had my sixteen year son tested (his sister was diagnosed last June).  Been worried.  He's six foot, four - size eighteen feet!! - and pretty attached to his burger and pizza habit.  Came back negative.  Relieved.  Sixteen year olds are rather "difficult" I'm discovering. :)

It's suggested retesting every 3 years or if symptom present. Good he's "safe" for now though!

Really?  I did not know that.  I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Oh my goodness!!! Size 18 feet?!?! And here I thought my 15 year old's feet were big @ size 14/15!!!! :) Not quite as tall as your son though I suspect he still has some growing to do. :)

 

My son has actually surprised me quite a bit with his willingness to eat gluten free with us (he tested negative as well but we're gluten-free as a household) and aside from his still frustrating issue of not eating veggies of any kind except lettuce he has come a very long way considering his pickiness! :)

Well that's good.  I've had a battle with mine, because of course I predominantly cook gluten-free now.  I do buy him frozen pizzas/burritos, however, and his dad takes him out to eat regularly. 

 

Yes, I'm in Canada, so I have to order the shoes from the US - duty and shipping - I need two jobs I think!

I have problems finding shoes here in the stores...I can just imagine how much more it would be to have to order them from out of the country! Oy! And here I've been thinking I'd need two jobs just for mine! :) Eventually they stop growing, right?!? It's weird seeing the size difference between him and his younger brother. Granted there's a 10 year difference....but my 15 year old has ALWAYS been big for his age. So my 6 year old is like a little peanut. Tiny little guy that does not grow very quickly (guess that's part of the Celiac!) Anyway....here's to growing boys!

Yes, my 12 year old daughter (celiac) is very small and petite.  They don't even look like they're related!!

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
