Happy freedom day for moms whose kids have returned to where they belong :P

Nowt much happening in Incline Village, except I talked to Krispin Sullivan (of Krispin Report fame) for two hours! this morning. More about that later when I get the info and workbook she is mailing. Fascinating lady, sure knows a lot about what we do eat and what we should eat, and why. Has come up with several reasons for my poor state of health, and some fix-it ideas :)

Have a guest visiting from New Zealand and took her to Virginia City (old silver mining town with the wooden sidewalks (boardwalks to you yanks). Visited the Bucket of Blood Saloon, but had lunch at the Palace Saloon and there was one item on the menu just callin' my name, so I had to have it, the Shroom Burger :lol: Had a gluten savvy young waitress who when I ordered it without the bun wanted to know if I was celiac, and when I said I wanted the side salad instead of fries she said, "Oh, well you won't want the croutons then" :D Did not get glutened by the Shroom Burger, which had sauteed shrooms and a slice of swiss melted on top. Ta da! Quite yum, first actual burger I've eaten in 30 years :unsure:

Do you not make burgers at home in Incline Village? My hub makes the best burgers by mixing BBQ sauce with them. Ital dressing is good, too. Will remember that place for next time I'm in the area!

We're at the airport!!!! WooHoo! Get this though.....so we had to book our tickets separately because we each have companion tickets. Max and Jess were supposed to be together somewhere else on the plane and Maddie and I were together. 1 on 1--perfect, right? Welllll, I check in online yesterday and the separated Max and Jesse....guess where....Max is with me and Maddie and Jesse is somewhere else, all alone... WIH?!?! We made sure we were all in the right seats for the return flight but since I had to sleep with Max last night in a hotel-we're flying out of Seattle-and he kicked the heck outta me all night, I'm not really emotionally equipt to take on both kids :(

Just get me to the beach!!!!

      Confusion about my son's results

      Most doctors don't even order anything besides the tTG-IGA and maybe total IGA when doing blood testing for celiac disease. The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG...

      But yes seeing all those negatives does give me a bit of doubt! I feel confident but those results give me a seed of doubt. Especially since it's a lifelong diet for him!

      Confusion about my son's results

      When I originally posted I hadn't talked to the pediatrician yet and didn't realize about the budosinide. Now I feel pretty confident. I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the...

      Confusion about my son's results

      @lizzie42, So, I'm confused with what you are uncertain about. Do you really have any doubt that your 5 year-old son has celiac disease? Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet...

      Confusion about my son's results

      These are my sons results. My daughter was high positive on everything and maxed out the tests in addition to being anemic, bad rash, etc. Yes, he has been eating mostly gluten free (not completely). He was also on a high dose of budosinide at the time of testing due to some asthma and sickness. I didn't realize that affects the results. This...

      Confusion about my son's results

      By trents · Posted

The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG tests are second tier tools that are less specific for celiac disease. It is not at all uncommon for the EMA and the tTG-IGA to disagree with one another. We frequently see this on the forum. I do not know why. Please realize that doctors typically run a number of tests when diagnosing a medical condition. If there was one test that was foolproof, there would not be a need for other tests and other testing modalities. It works that way with many or most diseases.

I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the EMA was pretty "gold standard."  And yes I do now wonder about the asthma! I hope being gluten free will improve that!

Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet and on a steroidal medication (which would likely suppress immune responses) do you really have any doubt? If you can't afford the GI consult with endoscopy/biopsy, why would you consider a gluten challenge after removing the remainder of the gluten from his diet? Have you considered that his asthma and "sickness" may be tied to celiac disease?

      These are my sons results. My daughter was high positive on everything and maxed out the tests in addition to being anemic, bad rash, etc.  Yes, he has been eating mostly gluten free (not completely). He was also on a high dose of budosinide at the time of testing due to some asthma and sickness. I didn't realize that affects the results.  This test along with my daughter being so sick with it prompted the pediatrician to diagnose him. We can always do a gluten challenge in the future. We will do that with our 1 year old. We will have her eat school lunch when she goes to prek and then test after a couple months.
