Just curious how young your little one is (can't remember from your other posts)? Keep in mind that results in young children are often skewed. Don't rule out the posability that they DO have celiac or another food intollerance just because of the results. There are always false negatives, especially in young children.

My mom gets tested and scoped about every 3 years (this has been going on for over a decade). Negative every time. However, she does notice a huge difference when she's on the diet. Since she has no formal diagnosis, she doesn't adhere to the diet 100% and so "picks and chooses" when she's going to poison herself and take her time out in the bathroom. :P It's quite interesting to watch how she juggles all of it as to me, it would just be easier to give the diet a real shot and go from there.

My dd's tests came back negative as well. But she had a great response to the diet and we do not mess around with trying to re-challenge her (that's what cross-contamination by accident is for....all with horrible GI distress, hyperactivity and tummy problems....now with headaches as well).

Now that the testing is over, you may want to give the diet a shot for a few weeks to see if the results make sense. Believe me, you will KNOW if gluten is a problem once you do the diet.

yes i think that is exactly what were gonna do this week i plan to go and start replacing our glutened food wiht nonglutened foods dd has been gluten free for 3days not on purpose just been soo sick she hasnt eaten anything with gluten i cant say she feels better cause she has the flu, but she hasnt complained once that her stomach hurt i just plan on continueing this she has her gi appointment jan 31st so i guess we see what they say about the blood work and if they want to order more test

even if her blood work was pos not sure i would want the biospy i was reading where for most to be considered celiac pos a pos biospy, then gluten free 6mos then a neg biopsy then eat gluten for 3months then anouther pos biopsy was needed, umm i ams orry but if they know that gluten is causing the damage and they actually want you to eat stuff htat is posion to your body that seems contradictory to the oath

do no harm doesnt it

They don't do the 3 biopsy thing anymore. One abnormal is enough for diagnosis. I didn't see the tTG results on your test. That is actually the best screen for Celiac.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
