Wow its amazing three weeks gluten free now and my stomic is almost never bugging me FINALLY WHOOOHOOOO i feel better then i have in days and im such a good mood its amazing. The only thing i have left to complain about is the brain fog and tiredness wich has acually gotten worse but i dont care my stomic is not bugging me w000000t. Oh and i guess i am still only passing literal hard balls of stool :( but im sure that will change in time and they are not green anymore finally brown again but still with those coffe grounds in them but like i said probably just dead mucus I FEEL SO GOOD THOUGH yes yes yes. sorry its just i have had over a month now of just feeling like complete crap and it feels so good to not have constant stomic noises or burning sensations. I do still get very bloated when i eat though anyone else experense this, like i wont even eat that much say a very small spinich salad with some pork on it and i will be extremely bloated for about 10 to 20 minutes but hey whatever as long as im not in pain w0000t w000t sorry i am just celebrating. I hope all of you that feel like crap get better soon so you can join me in a praise of w00ts

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      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. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      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 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.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. 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.

      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.
