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).

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Alivia!

Happy birthday to you!

Ditto on a GI who's available via email.....WOW! Not sure what that means either..wish I could be of more help. Good luck!

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!

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
