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

25.0 EU or less........negative

25.1 - 29.9 EU.........equivocal

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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
