What?? :blink: what are you doign to your poor child? :lol: seriously, why is he eating oatmeal...did this come up before and I misssed it? highly possible... :blink:

I want to get him tested by enterolab. I don't know that he's gluten intolerant but I figured he was allergic since his eczema cleared up after I eliminated gluten and soy. The whole house is gluten free (except the baby oatmeal) and he will be raised that way. Maybe I'll just have gene testing done. The other two are already intolerant. I certainly don't want to try him on multigrain cereal. Mitch doesn't think it is a good idea either.

Susan,

What is life outside of Rachelville. Unfortunately, I had to leave to take care of the kids today and cook dinner all by myself since hubby didn't get home in time. :(

Don't you feel sorry for me. :lol:

On a side note....It's too soon to tell but Seth seemed to be cranky afternoons on the 6 day oatmeal trial. He was back to his normal, happy self today. Me thinks the oatmeal is talking....but he didn't break out in eczema....maybe not enough gluten since his system had cleared it all out.

Yep, yep, yep.....Rachel got the job as Ice Cream Maker after all. :P

Celia, you are so funny...googly moogly girlfren' where are you hiding out? :P

So it's like that around here huh? wow....I think I'm blushing Karen, what the hell did you do? haha....dirty dirty! :lol:

Yeah...watch out for that one...especially around the full moon. Things get a little crazy around here. :o

Karen is the queen of altoids...she rides a float in our parade and tosses out altoids to the crowd.

Altoids have become quite the naughty thing around here...they have caused quite a stir....on many occassions.

      Are Gluten-Free Processed Foods Making You Sick? (+Video)

      Thank you! It’s very easy to make seedy crackers. They are much more nutritious than commercial gluten free bread,

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve. thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies. Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree. Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant. That may happen even with endoscopy. Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end...

      here are the lab ranges. Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      Just diagnosed today

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
