She definitely has Celiac.

She has been gluten free for a week now and the changes are remarkable!!

She has a personality, she has more energy and is all around just more fun to be around!! LOL!

In fact, she has been a little "spry" the last few days....had her first "real" time out this morning and grinned from ear to ear the whole minute she sat there! ;) !!

Thank you to all who responded to my first post.

I think we're getting it all figured out and adjusting well....I will really miss having pizza delivered tomorrow night-kind of a Friday night tradition in our house and a much needed night off from the kitchen!!

Oh well, I'm just so thankful my little girl is feeling better-that in and of itself is worth all the pizza in the world! :)

I'll be in touch....

I keep some pre made gluten-free pizzas in the freezer and on pizza night I just toss in oven and when it's done I ring the doorbell and pretend it's delivery! My daughter gets the biggest grin on her face when I do that and I say "Pizza's HERE!!!" LOL!

So glad she is feeling better! Isn't it a relief to have an answer? I hope she continues to do better and better! I have to admit that I still miss pizza nights too. But, thanks to kinnikinnick ready made pizza crusts.....the kids still get really excited when I declare a "pizza night", and it's almost as easy as ordering in!

I totally agree. Those pizza crusts are awesome!

I'm so glad little Kassidy is doing well. It's such a relief to finally be able to do something to help your child. I hope she continues to improve!

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am just sharing my personal supplementation which has been developed over many years now. It's not a perfect fit for everyone, but some lingering issues I had, especially with gluten ataxia, did not go away until I went on this regimen. Good luck with finding experts to help you with this, it is possible, but my doctors were more or less totally useless when it came to having discussions with them about nutrient deficiencies that may have contributed to my gluten ataxia--my doctor literally just "measured" it by poking my feet in various places and saying: "Yep, look like ataxia issues....see you next year." They never even mentioned that it could be related to nutrient deficiencies. In any case, don't forget to be your own health advocate, because most of this stuff isn't rocket science, and the studies are out there which show that most celiacs have various nutrient deficiencies.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      I hear you, but I am not sure where to go from here if there is a possibility that it is cause by something other than celiac and gluten. What other things should I be getting tested for and how? If I can't trust the doctors, who can I trust? How can I be sure that it is not from small amounts of gluten that are impossible to eliminate? Would you recommend the Amlitelimab trial? Should I continue eliminating things from my diet? there is so much conflicting information and research, I would prefer to defer to the doctors, but it seems that they don't have many more recommendations for me either...

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By trents · Posted

      Doctors aren't always right. I have been participating on this forum for many years and you wouldn't believe the cockamamie things doctors say about celiac disease to our member base. It's often based on very outdated information and sometimes just plain ignorance. Many doctors neglect to tell their patients not to begin a gltuen free diet before the testing is finished. Others tell them just to cut back on gluten but a little is okay. Think about it. The tTG-IGA test has a 90-98% specificity rating. That means there is somewhere between a 2% and a 10% chance that elevated tTG-IGA levels can be caused by something other than a celiac reaction to gluten. The tTG-IGA antibodies are just an inflammatory response of the immune system, most likely to gluten but a certain percentage of the time to something else. And the villous atrophy is just the result of persistent inflammation, whatever the cause. Why don't you print out the article on blood antibody tests and show it to the doctor and ask him/her what it means that the test is less than 100% specific?

      I have changed my toothpaste, and all hair/face/body care products to be gluten free. When I pick up prescription medications I ask for the full ingredients list to check for possible gluten sources, and don't take advil anymore because they cannot verify it to be gluten free. I am not sure how to change my diet further, but please let me know if you have any other ideas for potential hidden sources.
