Hi! Welcome to the board. I'm also 15, and I've been on here for what feels like forever (more like 2 1/2 years). I was diagnosed in February 2004, after being sick for a long time, as well. If you've been doing this for six months, you probably don't have many questions, but if you have any or just want to talk, ask away. :)

This board draws 15 year-olds. :lol: I'm 15 too, at least for only two more months. You'll love it here, it's a really helpful place. Dxed for over a year and it gets easier along the way. If you need anything, you know what to do. :) This a good place to learn, and possible rant if you're down and out.

Hello Kassie.

Welcome Kassie!

I'm Danielle and I'm 21. I was diagnosed around the same time as you, and I'm glad that your feeling better! I remember reading your mom's posts about you and your sister. BTW, how's Tianna doing? I hope she's improving.

Anyways, you have joined a great group of people, and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
