Update On My Son

We went to see a new pediatrician the other day.  She was wonderful.  Actually spent 2 hours with us and worked right through lunch.  She reviewed his labs and found that between what the pediatrician had done and what the immunologist had done that he did have the complete panel for celiac testing.  She said that with that being negative and his negative scopes and biopsies that it is highly unlikely that he has celiac.  We also had a follow up with the integrative doc to discuss his test results.  She says his tests showed he's highly sensitive to cows milk and gluten.  He's been gluten and dairy free for a month and a half and we've seen maybe a small positive change but not a lot and he still has a good day or two and then crashes for a week.  I don't know how much I'm buying into what the integrative doc had to say.  She wants him on herbs, vitamins, and nystatin for a yeast overgrowth.  The new pediatrician said might as well try it for a month since we are this far in and see what happens.  In the mean time she is testing him for Cushings Syndrome.

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
