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?

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That is true, but they are not a bad place to start. I recommend ones One A Day without iron, unless you need iron. You can definitely add other supplements over time if needed, but it's a good starting point that can address a variety of nutrient deficiencies.

      Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Multivitamins are generally not potent enough to effective address significant deficiencies.
