Welp our 2 1/2 yr old son(with celiac disease) has failed his FORTH successive hearing test, completely failed, total 0. I know he can hear cause he responds sounds, but this could be a part of why he is not talking.

Is there any gluten/celiac disease angles I need worry about here? They said they will put him out with gas and they have noted on his records about eggs and gluten.

Any info on this stuff would be a great help!

I know nothing about that stuff. But do know that yes that is probably why he is not talking. Very common in kids with ear problems. Have you tried any signs with him? That can help a ton and get him to communicate better. I used them with my daughter since I am fluent in ASL and thought it would help her communicate earlier. It did! And she talked early as well, it really helps some kids.

Are you fluent in ASL? Or Signed English or Pigeon English?

I currently in a Signed Eglish class and started with an ASL tutor in addtion. Most deaf around here use a mixture of all three. Almost no pure ASL is used around these parts.

But yes, he can speak in sign, well his on version of ASL, more of TSL (Tymber Sign Language) :D. Drink is overn up by the check, and the volience of it is a clear indication of desire :D. "please" is two handed, and sideways LOL. "I love you" looke more like a 3... but hey it works! :D

Yep fluent in ASL. I also took most of an interpreting program but have these stupid cysts in my wrist so I can't interpret professionally. Hurts too much! I have seen it all. Signed English and modified signs! I work with children and adults with special needs so I have seen many different types over the years. Glad that he is using sign! That is great! And great that you are learning it as well!

I may one day get in to a professional interpreting program but for now I am getting free lessons via local churches. I started the lessons around 2 years ago, but learned about all I can in the one class, and just started the tutor last week.

I had major surgery and a couple of minor out-patient procedures after developing celiac. The gas isn't a problem with being put under. Is it an out-patient procedure? I'd just be very careful if he's offered any food by someone at the facility. Even after clearly stating CELIAC - NO GLUTEN on my menu at the hospital, I was still given crackers (individually wrapped, thank goodness) and such.

I did a semester of ASL - I thought it was neat - I would like to relearn it and go farther with it some time.

Is he having tubes put into his ears? The procedure does only take 5 minutes, but they'll put him out and will want him to wake up a little before he goes home. My daughter had some cereal before she left, so just bring some crackers or a light snack (similar to toast or crackers) and some juice you know he'll like.

Yes PE Tubes in his ears.

We are used to travling with large quanties of food, so that wont be a problem.

How long was her recovery? When did she notice a postive change?

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankle...

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
