I need a reality check from all of you. I have been going round and round with this issue for years. Here is the bottom line:

Three children and husband - one child is short for age but no digestive issues. Nothing with husband either.

Other 2 children (twins) test results:

BOth have DQ2 (one has an additional HLA-DQB1 *0201, 0602)

One tested through Promethius Lab - all negative blood work

One tested through Enterolab - positive on Gluten sensitivity Stool test (13 units)

One is labeled as Autistic, mood disorder, learning disability, severely constipated, underweight and skin ecemia (sp)

The other is dsylexic and has always had digestive issues (gas).

When they were little both had big tummies and very brightly colored poop

My tests (Promethius Labs)

- Positive for DQ2 but negative for all other blood work

- Been dx with IBS since I was 12 and for the last month and 1/2 - severe morning diaherra

I have my doctor's appt tomorrow and I have this feeling he is going to say the same thing every other doctor has said - no problem.

Do you think that I should just ignore them all and go on a gluten free diet or are they right? It will be extremely difficult with my autistic child to go on diet - all he eats is pasta and bread. Maybe I am just looking for something to correct problems that aren't related. HELP

I forgot to add that I have multiple white matter brain lesions that no one can explain. I have been reading that may also be correlated with celiac.

About the white matter things and gluten, there are several entries about that in www.pubmed.com

YOu probably have read on all the autistic webpages where they report gluten and casein sensitivity, haven't you? And Dr. Karl Ludwig Reichelt's work?

The urine test is now done at neurozym. (peptide test for casein and gliadin)

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.
