Strange Email From Gi

Well I ahve already posted that my older daughter alivia tested + for celiac also. But the GI dr ran some more blood work and i emailed him the results and if they were ok. He said that her wbc are slightly decreased (her celiac screening they were also decreased in aug) and her allergy cells wre very high. And he then said the results of the biopsy should be interesting? I emailed him back asking what that means but have not heard back yet. We are still waitinf for the biopsy appt to be scheduled.

Happy Birthday Alivia!

I can't offer anything regarding results, but I do have to say that I think it is incredible that a GI makes himself available through e-mail - I would love that!

Hugs.

Although I do not have an understanding of the tests (numbers), I would think he would mean that the biopsy results will be "interesting" in that it will possible help determine a diagnosis. My daughter's blood test results were not high enough to alone conclusively diagnose Celiac, nor was the biopsy result alone, but as explained to me, together led them to a positive diagnosis. Hope this helps.

Has Alivia started the gluten-free diet yet? I'm not a big fan of the biopsy, and with the blood tests being positive and her sister having it, the odds are certainly in her favor that she has it, personally I wouldn't go through with the biopsy and just get on with getting her on the diet. (but that's just me).

Maybe he meant that he's interested to see what the results are. Which would make sense because why would anyone run a test if they didn't care about the result.

Happy Birthday, Alivia!

      Gluten Sensitivity

      People get genetic modification confused with hybridization. Wheat, as has most of our food crops, has been altered through hybridization to make it more disease resistant, more drought resistant and even to increase the gluten content. Hybridization uses selective breeding/cross pollination to enhance certain characteristics. Genetic modification, on the...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Thank you for your response. I have had several different antibiotics over the years and none affected my sensitivity to wheat products which I assumed was due to the gluten in them. However I do believe this time it was an antibiotic I’ve never had before so if your explanation is correct it would seem this antibiotic (cefuroxime 500 MG tablet Commonly k...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Welcome to the forum, @The Logician! Many antibiotics have anti-inflammatory properties. By the way, GMO wheat is not used in food products: https://www.chefsresource.com/faq/is-wheat-genetically-modified-in-the-united-states/ There is a common misconception that it is.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I do not have celiac disease however for 20 years-plus I have been sensitive to gluten. A slice of bread will give me diarrhea in less than an hour. This started with me around the time I believe GMO wheat was beginning to appear in products on the market. Last week i went into the hospital to get antibiotic IV for three days. While there I was constipated...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      People get genetic modification confused with hybridization. Wheat, as has most of our food crops, has been altered through hybridization to make it more disease resistant, more drought resistant and even to increase the gluten content. Hybridization uses selective breeding/cross pollination to enhance certain characteristics. Genetic modification, on the other hand, uses a "gene gun" to knock out certain genes and replace them with unnatural ones. In some cases, plant genes are replaced with animal genes to achieve certain properties. This is what GMO is about. Have you actually been formerly tested for celiac disease, either by blood antibody testing, biopsy or both, to rule...

      Thank you for your response. I have had several different antibiotics over the years and none affected my sensitivity to wheat products which I assumed was due to the gluten in them. However I do believe this time it was an antibiotic I’ve never had before so if your explanation is correct it would seem this antibiotic (cefuroxime 500 MG tablet Commonly known as: CEFTIN, 1 tablet by mouth 2 (Two) Times a Day for 10 days.)  could be a cure for my sort of sensitivity. I assume the hospital IV was the same antibiotic. The IV was ordered because my blood culture showed bacteria in my blood. I remember hearing years ago the gmo wheat was found in some products but I guess that...

This started with me around the time I believe GMO wheat was beginning to appear in products on the market. Last week i went into the hospital to get antibiotic IV for three days. While there I was constipated so I figured eating gluten would fix that. I had gluten at every meal and it had no affect on me. I was still constipated until I got home and hen started having normal bowel movements even though I continued eating gluten products and I have never felt better! Not even a hint of diarrhea. I’ve eaten some gluten in bread, cream of wheat...

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like your gastroenterologist is becoming increasingly confident that celiac disease is the likely diagnosis based on both your older and newer lab results. Her suggestion to call each Monday for possible cancellations is actually a great strategy—especially given how long the wait is until your August 29th appointment. It’s also a good sign that she’s advocating for you to be seen sooner, which shows she’s taking your case seriously. The fact that some labs might not have been drawn yet due to overlap with your functional health doctor’s upcoming testing adds a layer of confusion, but that’s unfortunately common when multiple providers are involved. Hopefully, the GI’s...
