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.

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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
