I just got a call back from the specialist in Denver. Williams biopsy did show damage and inflamation in his small intestine, but at this point the do NOT think he has Celiac Disease!!! It is just being called a severe allergy to Gluten at this point. We are waiting on the 2nd blood tests results because they can't rule out if he is a carrier untill those come back and it could be possible that he is a carrier and just hasn't developed it yet but we are really hoping for the best right now and that it is just a severe allergy because that he has the chance to outgrow and if he should choose to have Gluten in the future it might make him sick but will not cause any permenant damage!!! We will get the final lab results back on next Monday so keep us in your prayers that the first results were just wrong and it's only an allergy!!! I am still asking to have myself tested since I have so many of the common symptoms but we will see how that goes...

Thank you all for your + thoughts and prayers! The power of prayer truly is amazing!!!

HUGS!

Hello, I will keep you andyour son in my prayers! I was told to go gluten free even though I was considered positive for only the IgG by one point on the blood test, and have had no biopsy. I am currently waiting for the genetic marker test for celiac as well though, I don't know if I should find hope in that? I hope that there is a possibility I could outgrow my sensitivity as well if that is what is affecting me! I will only see if my symptoms go away after being gluten-free. Anyhow! Good luck with everything

Rachel, good luck... We are going gluten-free with him for sure because he is responding great to not having any. I just hope it is something he will eventually outgrow...

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.
