Since his diet worked so well and I had the verbal word of the GI doc that he was postive for celiac disease on one of the blood tests, I did not bother to get the results faxed. I called up and got them yesterday...

Sooo I was looking over and tow things struck me...

IGG was like 66 where "normal" for a 2 year old (he was close to that at the time) is UNDER 25. Dang, and they called that "slightly postive' ??? more then TRIPLE the high score LOL.

The second one confirmed my suspicion, ABOUT MY SELF. His Iga was 0.1 ! Mine was "less then 1" so, I see that as confirmation that we both IgA deficent.

So that is just futher confirmation as I see it.

At least you are getting some answers. I'm glad the diet is going well for your son, even though you haven't quite figured out what's going on with you.

As for blood tests, I'm not sure which result this is, I only had a glance at the doctor's computer, (she was running late and I'll get more details in March) my older son and I were negative for celiac. The results were presented in a ratio. Anything LESS than 1 : 2.5 is negative. My younger son was 1 : 650.

650!?!? I'm not a rocket scientist, or even a doctor, but I have a sneaking suspicion that that's bad. 2.5 vs 650. Yikes.

Meanwhile, I haven't noticed much of a change in Ty at all. His belly is a bit flatter and I think he's gained a pound.

Ummm ... its not clear by your post, you do know that 1:2.5 is GREATER then 1:650 I assume?

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
