every year, our neighborhood has the Christmas home walking tour (it's going to be beautiful here this weekend, so, should be good!)  and this year i am on the b.o.d. of the neighborhood organization.  NOW.  i don't mind selling tickets or walking around, but they have a hospitality house at the end of the tour and they have people making (delicious) Christmas cookies.  i was planning on being out of town, maybe, because our daughter is ready to give birth to our grandson - but, no, they scheduled her next week for a c-section.  now i will be home (and can't hide, because these people are all my neighbors lolz) so i am going to end up doing some thing to help with the tour.  also, there is a dinner (potluck, so, no eating anything there) that i'm expected to attend.  ok, ok, ok, i'm ok.  but i can't stop thinking about the dad gum cookie house!!!!  

 

I WANT COOKIES.  I WANT TO NOT MAKE COOKIES.  I WANT TO EAT COOKIES.  I WANT TO TRY EVERY KIND OF COOKIE WITHOUT FINGERPRINTING EVERY SINGLE ONE.  AUGGGHHHHHH!!!   

 

i seriously can't believe i'm losing it over cookies.  i can just see them, all pretty and nutty and completely poisonous...........   :angry:

LOL!  :lol:  :D   Ooooh! I like you!

 

Cookies cookies everywhere and nary a crumb to eat. :(  Bring yourself a thermos of Balieys with a bit of flavoured coffee or extra creamy hot chocolate - it might make you feel better, and if you drink enough you won't care anyways.  :)

Excellent suggestion!

Or stand around the cookie table, and look at people like they are really stupid and ask " you still eat this s$#&?"

While sipping on the Baileys and munching a delicious gluten-free cookie you brought with you.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      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.
