Can't decipher results

I have a 5 year old who has had on and off again loose stool his whole life.  He sometimes complains of stomach cramps and when he has to go to the bathroom he has to go fast.  Sometimes the stool is formed but most of the time it's watery and fibery. He's currently being tested for (I don't know what but assume Celiac or Crohn's) and I've received some of the results.  The stool sample isn't back yet.  Anything you all could tell me?  I know you're not doctors but I also know how well versed most of you must be on this stuff.  Thanks in advance. 

Gliadin Deamidated IgA  <10U  negative

Gliadin Deamidated IgG <10 negative

IgG 1070 mg/dL  range is 504-1465

IgA <6 mg/dL range is 27-195

IgM 88mg/dL range is 24-210

IgE 114 IU/mL range is 0-90

transglutaminase IgA <20 Units which was in range and says negative

in his complete bloodcount nothing was out of range

In his metabolic panel nothing was out of range

His ESR was 34 and they gave no range

C-Reactive protein was in range

TSH in range

His manual differential panel says

band neturohphil 0% range is 5-11

Segmented Netrophils 67% range is 32-54

Lymphocytes 27% range is 28-48

all else normal

Any insight you can give would be appreciated.  My thoughts are going in a lot of different directions.  Is it Crohn's? Celiac?  Something I haven't thought of?

Lactose intolerant?  FODMAP issue?

Never diagnosed but never tested. His allergist didn’t think lactose intolerance because he wasn’t throwing up. We ended up in our own going to a GI specialist at A Children’s Hospital.

Odd.  No one I know that is lactose or FODMAP intolerant vomits.  

If you are going to a specialist, than ask him?  Find out what your kid is being tested for.  Ask questions until you understand it or take someone with you who can listen for you and help you understand later.

That Immunoglobulin A (IgA) result?  Is that a “6” or “less than 6”?   He had all lots of Immunoglobulin tests, but one one type of celiac disease testing (DGP).  You could ask for the rest of the celiac panel (EMA and TTG).  Keep in mind that some people are seronegative.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
