Hi there!

I just got the numbers from the kids lab work. I was curious to see what others numbers were and how severe the celiac disease was when digosed.

Shaylin (18 months) #169. She was severly sick.

Jiselle (4 years) #216. No symptoms. Tested because of Shaylin.

Gliadin IgA = 37.9 H

Reference range 3ys and older

OK.

IgA testing scale that this lab(lab corp) used for both the girls tests are :

IgA~ 0-3 = Negative

4-10= Weak Positive

10 and over = Positive

Congrats to your DD on her birthday! Jiselle just turned 5 yesterday! :D

Shaylin's bio. came back + for celiac disease yesterday. I am just so glad that we finally got an answer to why she is so sick. She has been gluten-free since last Wednesday and she is doing so much better, but we still have a long way to go.

Holy cow those are some high IgA's. Yeesh. No symptoms on Jiselle? I found out right a long with them that I have it. Well, I read about it in "Living gluten-free for Dummies" and found out for the 1st time that I couldn't eat pasta/bread/bagels/cookies/cakes/ect. because of a disease!!! And, I never would have thought that my kids had the same problem with wheat/gluten. They did not have any of my symptoms (GI related), but I read in that book ("Living gluten-free for Dummies") that celiac disease is linked to Autism-my Son, ADHD-my son again, Aches(bone/joint pain)-also my son, irritability-all 3 of my kids, short statue-all 3 of my kids, distended abdomen-my baby girl. I have since found out that there are several other neurological symptoms associated with celiac disease! A lot of which my kids and my self have. Check out this thread Open Original Shared Link. It's a really good read!

Oh, thank you, and congrats on your little girl turning 5! It's a fun age :P

Yeah, I thought the numbers were high too.

Jiselle really did not have any symptoms. I thought it was so strange that she had it. I thought for sure that my son would have it, but he came back less than 2.

I thought for sure that I would have it as well, since I have been anemic my whole life and the fact that I was dignosed with IBS with D in my early 20's, but my Celiac panel came back -. When I told my mom, she was so schocked that I did not have it too, that she could not say anything for a minute~ that is a truly rare thing for my mom to be speechless. :)

My son's tTG is only 8.4, but he's been on a gluten free diet for 4 months. Normal is below 7. We were given given the wrong blood test four months ago and went for a second opinion. I'm so frustrated since now I don't know if the biopsy will be accurate now. UUUUGG!!!!!!!!

When the Ig panels were run in August, our daughter's all came back within normal range. Our immunologist ran just about every one out there for us.

She had her ttg done on 10/27/06-- 480! Our Ped GI/lab uses anything under 20 as normal.

Her biopsy was done the same day and showed significant damage to the small intestine.

Her symptoms were: belly pain, gastroparesis, GERD, and frequently loss/gain of weight w/o diarrhea.

      Thanks for this Wends and appreciate your insights! I'm not sure what you mean by "Your toddler is unlikely igA deficient with a titer of 22, as a positive test." ? I had a look at Dr Bernstein's work and we've definitely noticed that on lower carb days her blood glucose levels are much easier to manage. Our nutritionist advised against a low carb diet for toddlers as they said young children, unlike adults, rely on carbs for their growth and development. What's your view on this? Regarding malabsorption - it's so hard to know what's "normal". My daughter's poos have always been on the softer side as she's breastfed and we eat very healthily. I've booked an appointment with our GP and will take some photos!

      Thank you all for your kind wishes, it means so much. The information you've all shared has been so useful. We have a great diabetes team and trust the consultants decision to wait a few months to repeat the blood test. We also don't want to put her through any more tests than she needs as it's so tough on her and us! It feels unbearable waiting when she has some unexplained symptoms and as her mum I want to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep her healthy. That's interesting re: iron levels. I hadn't thought about that but I'm pretty sure this would've been checked as she was in hospital with DKA and they did lots of tests. I have requested a copy of her results.

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.
