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!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
