Results Of Follow Up Ttg Tests

[chrissy]

i took kassie and molly in to see the ped gi and have their ttg levels tested again. molly's levels are back to the normal range, but kassie's level was still at a 7---but she has admittedly eaten gluten. molly has gained 3 lbs since february, but kassie is down 3 oz since feb. the doc said she looks healthy, but he is a little concerned because of her sister having an eating disorder. i know that an identical twin is at a higher risk for eating disorders if her twin has one. the doc said she needs to redouble her efforts at eating gluten free. i need to make sure they havae plenty of safe snacks around so that she is not so tempted to eat something that is toxic. she says that crackers are her weakness.

i also had my oldest daughter tested finally---she was negative, but the doc said she is probably genetically predisposed for celiac, so she should be tested yearly.

Sorr - I just asked in another thread how your daughter was doing. I know this must be sooooo hard. I will be praying for you.

I've found some good crackers at Target called Sesmark Sesame Thins. At our store they're with the gourmet crackers. They are gluten-free and very good. The flavored ones aren't gluten-free. Blue Diamond Nut thins are also good. My husband is a cracker addict and loves them.
