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.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
