Some celiacs are chronically constipated, others are just have  “normal” bowel movement and others have diarrhea.   If I recall, your child had a positive on the DGP IgA (exactly how I tested).   Are they going to retest?

Agree with Cycling Lady. My friend's daughter with Celiac is chronically constipated and takes Miralax daily. My daughter was diagnosed 9 weeks ago. She initially had diarrhea 5-6 times a day. Now that she is gluten free, she has 1-3 formed BM's a day. 

One thing I've really learned is the symptoms vary so very much from person to person.

good memory! I do bring my daughter to consult celiac doctor at university of Chicago ,we may repeat one more time of celiac panel to decide do scope or not,doctor also told me only gliandian Iga positive it’s usually not what they look, so I’m postpone scope for now, thanks for your reply , wish you good health and I wish  my daughter will not have truly celiac .

I hope it works out for you.  No one wants a sick child.  My heart goes out to her.  

Again, I have NEVER had a positive in the TTG or EMA tests.  I have had the test run at least four times in either  a follow-up visit or after a severe glutening.  Only my DGP IgA is ever elevated.  I have researched like crazy.  I know everyone thinks the TTG is the best, but the reality is not everyone is the same and there is no “one size fits all” approach when diagnosing celiac disease.  

Because your daughter has tested out this way, consider getting the biopsies if her DGP IgA is still elevated.  If my initial GI had not ordered the entire panel, my diagnosis would have been missed.  As it stands, I had anemia, still have Osteoporosis, and another autoimmune issue that will never resolve.  Please keep this in mind as she ages. 

I wish you the best!

      Refractory Celiac Disease Caused by Rogue Immune Cells

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to post this new study here--it seems that for those who don't recover on a gluten-free diet may be in this group: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.adp6812

      Additional Food Intolerances

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      It does seem like brushing would be needed, and like anything else, a little daily exposure can lead to serious issues for celiacs.

      Young celiac person looking for advice

      By DanteZaffar · Posted

      Thank you! This is very helpful I’ll start looking over everything and writing down what I may be recent to. I suspect minor gluten or another intolerance. Do you have any advice on how to possibly expedite my healing process? I’ve heard taking different herbs and vitamin supplements but it’s a bit overwhelming for how recent I’ve been trying to keep track of my diet. Doing my best to feel better since I’m heaving so many annoying symptoms 😕
