My 6 yr old is still a mystery, but today we found out that his ESR came back high. Normal range is <10 and his was 38. Dr said they typically don't get too excited about it unless it's over 60 but it could be a piece to the puzzle.

 

So far his Celiac tests have revealed nothing but we're waiting on the DGP still.

 

tTg-IgA = <1 (range is <4)

EMA = normal

Serum IgA = normal

tTg-IgG = not done because total IgA was normal

 

I had to go to 3 different doctors to even get the DGP ordered but I really wanted an IgG test ran just in case. Anxiously awaiting those results, but curious if the ESR means anything.

I think mine was odd because of the anemia caused by the Celiac. Once the intestines healed, the anemia got better and so did a lot of other odd blood tests related to anemia.

I was wondering about anemia too...his hemocrit and hemoglobin are normal but his red blood cell count is low. Basically I've been told that isn't significant, but my blood work looked like that too and over time my other number fells into the anemia range. Was diagnosed with Celiac, went gluten free and for the first time my numbers are all normal after being gluten-free for 6 months.

 

Even prediagnosis though my ESR was normal. The pediatrician said that some kind of IBS could definitely be causing it but since its a nonspecific test only time will tell. If the DGP comes back negative she said her next suggestion would be an elimination diet starting with dairy. Thoughts on that?

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...
