Is it Celiac or not?

 Since I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, we had our two youngest (ages 11 and 16) tested. Our 16 year old is fine, our 11 year old had a high IgA but all the other tests were normal. Except he is anemic. Honestly, my brain hurts trying to figure this all out. I never did figure my own out. His doctor, who we love, says he thinks he is at risk for one day being diagnosed, but for now seems fine. The GI docs in our area are booked for months. What do these test results mean?

Results suggest the possibility of certain gluten sensitive enteropathies such as celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis. Diagnosis should not be based on serologic findings alone. Results should be used in conjunction with other clinical findings and biopsy results for a diagnosis of gluten sensitive enteropathy

Keep him on gluten and make an appointment with the GI doctor. You could ask to be put on the cancellation list if you can get there on realitively short notice.  I hope you can get some answers soon.

Ask your son's doctor to call the gi dr for an appointment. We were told they were booked for the next couple months, and there was no way I was waiting that long. I called almost in tears to speak with our pediatrition about what to do for my son, and he called and got us an appointment for the following week. Amazing how they found that opening (eye roll). We had full celiac panels and genetic testing done on our other kids to check their probability of developing celiac. The combo (or lack there of) of the genes assesses the chance they have of developing celiac. Do keep him eating gluten until you can get further info though. If he needs a biopsy, he has to continue the gluten unfortunately. :(

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?
    • trents
      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
    • The Logician
      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
