Question On Testing

We got the blood results today my dr said below 7 was negative for celiac we were at 1. But prior to finding out we took him off gluten for about 10 days and then started him back on it and his poop has been explosive - he has had a rash on hos face and he's been very mean. Would you have the biopsy done even if his blood work was negative. He's two I don't want to put him through anything that wasn't necessary

Blood test are notorius for false negative. Consider getting further testing, but it sounds like the dietary test was clear!

Whether or not you have the biopsy is purely up to you. He may be what I'd call "pre-celiac" and have to have much more damage before the tests pick it up. He may be non-celiac gluten intolerant. Either way, he needs to be gluten-free.

Blood tests and endoscopys are commonly negative for children under three. My son was negative for both at 13 months, but had a positive gene and the diet worked. The doctor will rely more on the blood test after he turns three. If the diet helps, keep it up.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      Initially I was going to re-post all of the threads that have people stating they drink or recommend RO water.  There are just too many to post, so I'll recommend using the search feature here to find them all.  There are currently 4 pages worth of posts with people mentioning or recommending RO water/filtration systems.  Granted, some of the search results are from this thread. For me, it causes major issues with my stomach and as mentioned, there is no way I will ever intentionally drink it again.  As we know, everyone's body is different.  I am certainly not looking for a debate, but do highly advise anyone considering RO water to do their own research. Consider starting with this Google search:  Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink long term?

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      By Known1 · Posted

      I could not agree with you both more.  I still haven't bumped into my neighbor's mom to explain, but I am certain she will understand.  I am in play it safe and error on the side of caution mode right now.  I see no point in taking any unnecessary risk. Thank you both for your time and thoughts.

      British Coeliacs: Marks and Spencer's have launched a Gluten Free Colin the Caterpillar Cake.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Brilliant news for British Coeliacs!   Colin was launched in 1990 so I am fortunate in that I was able to try this amazing chocolate swissroll cake before my diagnosis.  But the good news is he has now appeared in the Gluten Free aisle at M&S, and also is available home delivery through Ocado. https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/made-without-wheat-gluten-free-colin-the-caterpillar/p/fdp60761680

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      Very helpful @knitty kitty.  Thank you.  I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E.  I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me.  One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof.  I 'felt the fear and did it anyway' - a phrase other anxiety sufferers may be aware of, which I found a powerful tool in my recovery -  and visited a friend's house, even though I felt so wretched.  For some reason I craved milk and drank two whole pints of milk in quick succession while I was with her - to this day I can't think why, because I don't usually drink milk 'neat' - I like it in tea or coffee, or hot chocolate.  But I distinctly remember within a couple of hours feeling absolutely fine again for quite a while.  I've often wondered was it down to this milk, which I've since understood contains quite decent levels of B12.  Would that have really worked so fast?
