My son was just dx (sorta) with celiac. He is 2 years old and has feeding problems. We did an endoscopy expecting reflux and came back with inflammation of the lower intestine. We then did blood work with although showed a negative blood result was positve for the genetic markers for celiac. His GI dr wants us to try a gluten free diet and see if his GI and feeding issues improve.

My husband and I and our daughter are going to be tested as well.

I am very overwhelmed over trying to figure out what he can and cannot eat, especially since he has such a small selection from which he already eaqts.

Any tips greatly appreciated.

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      @NoriTori, you say, "No one said anything about eating gluten consistently until testing, the appointment was scheduled and an address was given. " We hear this all too often. Sloppy medical practice.

      Yes it's so frustrating. Gluten is everywhere! Any airborne gluten possibilities? Home remodel projects? Any pets eating gluten (they eat, lick themselves, you pet them....). Sickest glutening I got was from taking care of my neighbor's chickens, they would get all excited, kick up the shavings which had their food in it, the coop would get filled with  airborne dust, I breathed it in).

      @Scott Adams No one said anything about eating gluten consistently until testing, the appointment was scheduled and an address was given. I don't even have access to the results as it stands. I was just told "everything looks fine, but slight irritation." I don't know if they took a biopsy because I have no access to the results. I don't know how many samples they took (I recently learned they're supposed to take more than one), I don't know what things looked like internally, it was just word of mouth and I didn't know any better to pry and get copies of everything. And I know! I also have chronic Anemia, never truly resolved UNTIL I went gluten free, and low vitamin D (fairly normal in black community), and low creatine (also resolved with gluten free diet). I plan to request a new dermatologist! As well as a referral to Gastro. Food/symptom diary is a great idea though. I have no way of cooking as it stands, so even just the basics wouldn't work for me.

      @NoriTori, "gluten intolerance" is a general term that can refer to either celiac disease or NCGS. NCGS is often referred to as "gluten sensitivity" for short. Though, admittedly, there is still a great deal of inconsistency in the use of terms by the general public.
