Have you ever thought of putting a like button in? There are plenty of times I just want to like something and not post. Just wondering :)

We do have something like this but had to turn it off a while back due to an issue with it. We may bring it back....

Currently, you can use the little green arrow in the post box to "vote this post up"  I did it to your post and you will now see a little 1 to say someone "liked" it.

We already have a  "like button"...it's the vote up on the right. See? I just did Karen's. :)

And I just liked Irish's post. One good turn deserves another! :D

Ok, for clarification, we used to also be able to vote down posts/topics...not sure yet if we'll bring that back.

BOO ....on "vote down" buttons! <_<   people use them to be mean.  :( what purpose does that serve?

this is a supposed to be a supportive community.

IMHO, of course.

Being able to vote things down is just vicious. It seems rude, confrontational and unproductive. I like the voting thing we have now.

Ok I voted everyones up!! Thanks :) Yea I don't like the vote down button idea either :) Thanks I had no idea :)

Ah yes, I totally forgot the vote up button was where.  I agree with no vote down button- if someone comes on and is trolling or causing a ruckus the moderators are really good at putting a stop to that.

I wanted to second this, and add a thanks to all the moderators for being so on top of things, knowlegable, and supportive. This site wouldn't be what it is without you. You're awesome!

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
