Could My 2yo Have Celiac?

I hope we can both get good diagnosis whatever is causing this problem.. I have been concerned for a while because he grew so much and I heard it was normal to slow down but he almost has stopped! The doctors didn't worry about the height as much although he had always been off the chart in height before, but his weight had never gone below 95% untill he turned 2...

The specialist we are seeing said he is 75% certain that William has celiac disease just by his 1 blood test that was pos and his symptoms... If the biopsy isn't pos he said he is sure william at least has a strong gluten allergy and could develope celiac disease later so the diet is going to be a must anyway...

My daughter though has been all over the charts and I am wondering if she is celiac disease also but until William is confirmed they won't test Emma! She started at 5%, but she was 3 weeks early and we are at a high altitude. She was 50% by 2 months and then dropped again and was 25% by 4 months when we thought we had it figured out that she was allergic to Dairy. We took Dairy out and she grew again, but never over 50%. She had the RAST tests at 1 year and they all came back negative that she isnt' allergic to dairy, soy, wheat or eggs... She still has positive reactions to Dairy and major Soy though and I am questioning the wheat now... She is currently 30 inches and 19 pounds at 13 1/2 months old... 50% for height but only 25% for weight...

I really think that there is a lot more going on that we have yet to find out and maybe that will explain some of my health problems also...

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
