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!

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Inconclusive results

      By Wends · Posted

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
