Do They Give Children Biopsy? Also, Been Glutened ...

Hi everyone. My 17-year-old daughter is going to have a "Celiac Panel" run on her today at the lab. Do you know if a child comes up for showing they have Celiac, do they do the biopsy, or do they just recommend they start the diet?

Also, I somehow got glutened and was up at 2 am very very sick, and in horrible pain. I will vomit when I have this intense pain. The doctor says that children with Celiac throw-up and it is unsual for adults, but I am very CLEARLY vomitting when I am glutened. Does anyone else (adult) have really violent vomitting episodes with diarrhea when they are glutened....

Great,,, here I go again, back to another month or two of diarrhea and loud bowel sounds until I heal.

And I STILL don't know what I ate!!!!

it depends on your doctor and the circumstances. 2 of my children had biopsies, the 3rd did not.

Does depend on the Dr. I would say that if you're celiac and your child has positive bloodwork, they'll probably forgo the endo.

On the vomiting, horrible pain, big D and all, yes. I have that, they never could figure out why or what it was. I've always had a sensitive stomach, and I throw up over nothing.

Even as a kid, I would wake up in the middle of the night about once a month, throw up, and go back to bed. Made no sense. Since being an adult, it's about the same, but with horrific pain.

Since I haven't been off gluten very long, I don't know if it's due to glutening or not, but it would make sense. I generally have to take phenergan (not orally :o ) when it happens. It helps a lot.

Thank you. I just called my doctors office and left a message for him to give me a prescription for when this happens. Doesn't happen too much anymore, but ya know how people say you forget the pain of having a baby? well......I remember it well when this happens, it is absolutely unbearable.

Yes, I also had uncontrollable diarrhea and when it reached a certain point, vomiting as well. :ph34r:

My two grandchildren had the bloodwork done then the four year old had the endo and the colonoscope done. It ended up with one intolerant and the four year old full blown celiac's....

Mother is full blown celiac. I'm intolerant.

We are grateful to find out why our daughter and son were so sick for so long.After an adjustment period all is doing well....

Children absolutely have biopsies. Now, if you had a 1-2 yr. old, then one would not have a biopsy, but at that age you couldn't reasonably test through bloodwork, either. I've had three biopsies.

my daughter did not have a biopsy... with me having Celiac and her positive dietary response and the fact that when she gets glutened she reacts horribly, we know she's Celiac as well.

One of my main symptoms before dx was vomiting and diarrhea. I would be in my dr.s office at least once or twice a week with horrible diarrhea and I would even be vomiting in the sink in the dr.s office while I was there. That is one of my first symptoms when I get accidentally glutened... I get D and vomiting at the same time... Very uncomfortable! :blink:

I had one when I was 2.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Researchers are working on T cell modification therapy that could one day let celiacs eat gluten.

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
