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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
