From what I remember being on the sheet to go get her blood drawn it had ferritin, b12, another vitamin, CBC, TTG, and 2 for her thyroid. she's going to our regular family doctor next week for an unrelated matter and she'll have a copy of the results so I plan on getting a copy from her and possibly asking about seeing a different paediatrician as I'm not a fan of the one we are seeing now, she is convinced it's just chronic constipation causing all the issues but I know that's not all it is and have had er doctors agree that there's something else going on.

Cances are it was just the one tTG IgA test. If possible request the DGP IgA, DGP IgG, tTG IgG, EMA IgA, total serum IgA, and possibly the older AGA IgA and AGA IgG tests. That will give you more info to go on.

And chronic constipation? That s a symptom, not a cause.... That paed sounds pretty lazy...

Thanks I'll write those down and take them with us. Yes she is saying it's just the constipation as most her symptoms are to do with her stomach.. Constipation, abdominal pain, upset stomach, vomiting... The only things that she seems to have outside her stomach is headaches, pain in her right ankle (says it hurts her shin too so could be growing pains) and she's tiny for her age

We only have 2-3 paediatricians here so they have a lot of kids they see and I find she doesn't take enough time (last 3 appts have been with students working with her and she just pops in to help them along) and she doesn't seem to think I know anything.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein...

      Glutened from hair conditioner- check your body products and makeup !

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s scary how hidden gluten can be—even in non-food products like hair care! Your experience is a great reminder that topical products with gluten can cause systemic reactions in some people with celiac disease, especially if they’re accidentally ingested (like when shampoo runs down your face). While not everyone reacts to external exposure, your symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, and GI issues—clearly show your sensitivity. It’s frustrating that companies aren’t required to label “gluten-free” on cosmetics, so ingredient checks are a must. Don’t feel stupid; many of us learn this the hard way! Thanks for sharing your story—it’s a wake-up call for others to...
