I just had to post and say THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Thanks to all of you, my kids are now gaining weight. We went to the ped. GI today. My son had gained a pound since Dec., the first he's gained in over 9 mos!!!! What's more amazing is that my daughter gained 4 oz. in one week!!!!! This may not sound like much, but with her heart condition and celiac, she just crossed the 13 lb. mark and she's 10 mos. She had gained less than 4 oz. in the last 2.5 mos. What did it? I read on here how lotions, soaps, etc. could contain gluten. Last weekend I had a massive cleaning out and bam, she started gaining. Of course, the doctor had no idea that these things could make a difference, but I explained it all to him and he's sold. Maybe you helped other kids too! I'm so excited! We've worked and worried so much, now she's doing better. Praise the Good Lord for all of you!

XOXOXOXO

Wonderful!!!!!

My son had a big weight gain too!!! I was so excited! We had to take him in for a virus last week with a temp. of over 103*. When we got home I was calling the family to let them know how he was doing. It was sort of funny, because I was like, "He has a virus, he'll be fine soon." (In a rushed and hurried way) and then, "Guess what? He gained 2 pounds!!!!!!" I was way more excited about the weight gain than anything else! A virus will pass, but weight gain of two whole pounds! Now, that is worth celebrating! He hadn't been weighed in several months at the office, so I couldn't tell very much except that he looked better to me!

I am so glad that both of yours had such an amazing difference! WoooHooo! I am celebrating for you! :lol :D:P:lol:

Awesome!!! It was so exciting for us when our little boy started to GROW!! It was like a miracle, we kept marking his progress on teh back of a closet door to keep track. He gained weight too and every pound made me so happy. I made sure to keep taking pics to document, so I wouldnt ever forget how sick he was and how much the gluten-free diet changed his life.

Congrats on the pounds!! :)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
