My daughter (who is only 14 months) has had a lot of blood work done and we are getting them back slowly one at a time. The latest one was the Gliadin Antibody it was out of range High >100 U/ml. What does this tell me?

We are still waiting for the celiac panel and other results which should come tomorrow or Wednesday. She also has an endoscope schedualed for the 26th.

The results we got before these said her white blood count was up.

Why does it take so long to get results?!?! ugh! :( They did a lot of stool samples and they all came back okay....no parasites or anything.

Her symtoms are MAJOR constipation, extremely bloated stomach and loosing weight.

I'm still having a hard time really thinking its Celiac. Everyone seems to be so sick after having something they shouldnt and Bella has never been really sick....lathargic yes...but never threw up and has never had diahreah. I'm so confused. :(

Hello,

I am in the same situation as you. My son is 16 months old and has just been diagnosed w/Celiac. When the Dr. mentioned she wanted to test for it I couldn't even beileve it because he's never had any symptoms that would appear to be Celiac. His only symptom is that he doesn't enjoy eating and that he is only 19 lbs. Well, his test came back elevated (I believe 98 was his # when the normal is about 19). He had his biopsy done this past Friday and we are still waiting for results (but we are almost certain it's celiac since the dr. saw bumps in his intestine.) The biopsy is the only official diagnosis of celiac. I am still in a bit of denial as there is no family history (and it's hereditary) and he is such a happy and energetic baby. I hope that your dd doesn't have it but I know that these message boards are a great resource. I know there is a lot of support on here and I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time on here asking questions! Best wishes to you and your family.

Though my daughter did eventually start throwing up she had what the Dr.'s called atypical symptoms.

1. She never had diahreah but was constipated

2. Her stomach was not bloated (until the week that we had the biopsy done)

3. She began to loose weight she was in the 95% at her 15 month check up and at her 18 month checkup (the day before her biopsy) she was in the 50% (dropped weight)

Other than that she was a bit grumpy and extra clingy and whiny!

3 days after her biopsy (3 days after going gluten free) I had my happy 18 month old daughter back! If she does end up having Celiac at least it is something that can be controlled by diet and not pumping a ton of medications into her little body!

      Canker sores

      i used to get cold sores frequently before I went gluten free. Then I only got them when stressed. Then I cured my gut dysbiosis, and haven't had one in 20 years.

      Pear Bread

      To me, this bread is pretty special. The first time I tried adapting it I used a commercial gluten-free flour blend and it was good, but when I experimented using individual flours I tried the almond flour and it took it from good to special. I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess...

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      It's kind of funny that before my celiac diagnosis I did a lot more "functional eating" where I just needed a meal and wasn't so worried about how interesting/delicious it was, just needed to eat something. After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving...

I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess that adding either of them would result in the whole being less than the sum of the parts because the almond and other nut flavors would be competing. I wouldn't want to add almonds because of the texture. But you never know until you try. Have not tried cinnamon in this recipe. I imagine it would work. As I modified this recipe from the original, I reduced the sugar. The posted recipe is what I currently use. You are right that the pears bring a little sweetness to it.

After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving for trying add-ins. I've supplemented the greens with green onions, bell pepper (any color), celery leaves and stalks, and fresh parsley. Sometimes I throw in pepitas (pumpkin seeds), craisins, walnuts and/or sunflower seeds. One thing I tried that didn't really work was currants. I think that maybe it's because they are too small and too sweet. I haven't experimented with cheeses beyond the 2 in the recipe. I would guess that grated hard cheeses would work, medium hard cheeses (like swiss or cheddar) might work, and soft cheeses would not.

      Pear Bread

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really nice. Pear bread feels like one of those things that would be soft and a little sweet without being too heavy. I like the idea of using fruit like that instead of just relying on sugar. It probably makes it feel more fresh and homemade. Have you tried adding anything like cinnamon or nuts to it, or do you keep it simple?

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really good, I wouldn’t have thought to mix sorghum with kale but it makes sense. The roasted cherry tomatoes probably bring a nice bit of sweetness to balance everything out. I’ve been trying to find more simple gluten-free meals that don’t feel boring, and this feels like something you could make ahead and just keep eating through the week. Did you add anything else to it, like nuts or cheese, or keep it pretty simple?
