Well took Tim in for his 1 year follow up (well FINE it was sposed to be 9 months, but no one is perfect! :D ) with his Pedi-GI. Got a great report all the way around. The Doc is not happy that he did not have a postive bisopy to point to, but said "it is hard to argue with the success of the diet". The diets success was amazing He said keep him on the diet, and while he does not like the idea of a gluten challenge for Tim (because of how bad he had gotten), he figures that its inevitible that sooner or later it would happen just by mistake or Tim decideing to test it himself when he gets a bit older. At 37 pounds and 38 inches tall he is back on track for growth at his age (about 2 1/2 yrs old ) Overall he is very happy with the results of the diet and is perfectly content to leave success alone. :)

Over all we are very happy with Dr Ridel. He seems to realy care, and know his stuff. He wants use to touch base yearly to make sure all continues to go well and talked about running some nutritional labs on him, I declined for today but next year we might. He said there was no indication that he had any nutrional deficiences now, and the test would only be precutionary standard procedure type thing.

Timothy continues to leap foward with mental development since being gluten-free, still behind but he has made up alot of ground and continues to shoot foward. In some areas he is even a head for his age, while others are still behind enough that we get free tutors from the state/city to help him catch up.

So thats that!

WooHoo! Dr. Reidel is Megan's Dr. too, or at least one of the MANY! I really like him. I think if we had found him a year ago we wouldn't be where we are now. I'm so glad Timmy is doing so good. God is good!

I am so glad you were able to see him and that he worked out for you, bieng so far away from Vandy I was not sure it would. Gosh I still laugh that after I recomend him to you I was surprised ot find out you were going to him! :lol:

I honestly and truely belive Timothy would not have lived to see today if gluten intorelance was not discovered. In away everyone here helped save his life!

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
