Ewol's turn ? Pediatric immunology and gi consult pending-AWOL is sad


Awol cast iron stomach

Recommended Posts

Awol cast iron stomach Experienced

Well as many of you know me mom AWOL is not new to forum. Wowl ( son) realized he's like mom post mom's g challenge as I modified the family diet according to my authoritarian immune system's desires. Wowl knew quickly he's like mom and dropped gluten outside home as well. Ewol was not sure.

My dear Ewol , I have mentioned, I was suspect may also have issues. She is now being referred to allergist/ immunologist and pediatric gi.  

Here we go......

despite my request to test both Ewol and wowl in 2016 with celiac blood panel while my home was still shared gluten.

 Ped said no symptoms let's figure out what you are Mom (AWOL) finish your planned gluten challenge and scopes. Well gluten had to be banned for horrendous reasons only you as a community know....

so now fast forward to December 2017, my precious early teen at Halloween ate some pizza and pretzels at friends party (as gluten is banned from AWOL's home since oct 2016- it's evil) she only gets it in the big bad g world 

now Ewol has lost 20 lbs without trying

here we go.....??

keep you posted

as we now will have to wait in the que for insurance change in January and wait for openings at allergist/ immunologist and ped gi

keep Ewol in your thoughts as it appears AWOL's gluten intolerant genes are potentially genetically ferociously strong / passed on in her offspring ....

my babies - I'm sorry ?

poor EWOL

?

Took some code reading but got it....yeah but at least she has it easy to figure out, has a supportive mother, and a already dedicated gluten free house....seems very blessed.

Thanks Ennis and squirmingitch

much appreciated 

yep didn't know what to call my kids without using names so I decided to vary the awol moniker

wowl is son 10

ewol is daughter 13

i must currently talk in code to likely hold back my anger, wrath, rage and the circumstances. Keeps me calm

also got headaches and lightheaded symptoms from Multiple chemical sensitivity issues at stores today so likely brain malfunctioning too. Christmas shopping and scents everywhere 

left arm is numb today probably MCS manufacturered chemical corn based scented crap

 

 Thanks for support I need it

13 is a hard age in the first place. 13 & a girl is even worse. So much pressure on them. Well, she found out didn't she? Sometimes the hard won lessons are the best lessons. Ah, if we could only save our kids from having to learn things this way but it's something that has been going on since probably the beginning of humankind. Doesn't make it any easier to watch though when she's going through hell from the gluten. Poor baby girl.

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Sams club membermark columbian coffee is either cross contaminated or the pods contain gluten

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
