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...

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
