I noticed that squirmingitch hasn't been on lately. I tried to send her a message and it wouldn't allow me to. Anyone know if she's ok? She helped me so much after I was diagnosed and I miss her!

You can look at someone's profile and see the last post they made.  Its supposed to tell you when they were last logged in, but when I looked, that didn't seem to be working right.

Faryn, how sweet of you to worry about me. Thank you. It's always touching to know people are concerned about other people. Thank you for caring.:wub:

I am good! For the last 6 or 8 months though, it seems like my life is out of control. I have no time and I don't know why. Every day I seem to be running & huffing & puffing just to get a few spare minutes. I know part of it is the Fasano diet I have been on which means I'm cooking more than ever before but that certainly isn't the whole reason. My husband & I are trying to readjust the things we used to do & not expect the same to continue forever. For example; the house used to get vacuumed every other day like clockwork. We've now instituted 2 days per week for the vacuuming. We're aging & just can't keep up the every other day thing so 2 days a week it is. 

For months and months I was having computer problems. Apple was working with me to resolve them. There were many, many, many, many phone calls back & forth and gobs of hours spent to isolate the problems and then to solve them. That took up massive quantities of time! I think we've got it licked now though. Thank you Apple!

I have no idea why you couldn't pm me. I haven't changed any of my settings, at least I don't think so. I'll go double check.

I discovered the problem with messaging me. I had used up all of my space. 100% full. OOPS!:o I cleaned out my messages so now there's room again.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      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.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
