Sed Rate

I tried earlier to post but I must have lost the message. Oh, well. My question was if anyone knew if there was a correlation to a high sed rate (40) to celiac. My three year old's was that high. Plus his personality has been so erratice the past month or so. So irritable, indecisive, crabby, then lovable, snugglym clingy, needy. It's horrible to see hime this way. Almost the whole second year of his life he was almost the perfect happy child. Always smiling, laughing, happy, rarely cried. Now he has fits, hits himself, says he doesn't want us, then in the nest breath, wants us. It's frustrating and confusing. Luckily for him Daddy, Big Sissy and Mommy are patient and understanding that he doesn't feel well. Do these children occassionally complain that their belly hurts? It hurts me so to see him suffer. My poor little man.

Thanks so much

Becky

I am sorry, I do not know what a "sed rate" is?

It's a blood test that checks for inflammation somewhere in the body. Nowhere specific. It's especially useful for people with other auto immune diseases, ie: arthritis, lupus,etc.

Hi,

a high sedimentation rate can caused by an infection,or any other thing that makes the immune system working hard,do you know about his white and red blood cells?

Hi, both his white blood and red blood cells were within range, however, on another page, there was another rbc marked abnormal with Micro 2+ and Hypo 1+. I have no idea what these are.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
