After all this time, we finally found out that CHOP in Philly, where my son goes regularly, is now a leading center for celiac disease in children!! This is great news for us as we have an appt to see the chief of the center in June.... here is an excerpt from their webpage....

How lucky for you to have such a facility so close. :) Maybe you can pass on some research information.

That's really good to know since CHOP is only a little over an hour from here. Thanks. Keep us posted.

Oh, I will keep you all posted. If you go to the site, check out celiacs, and meet the team, Colin is seeing the head of the whole dept.. The appt has been made for over a month and a half now and we still dont see her until June 18th! So its a major wait, but I dont know if thats the same for all the docs or just her.. I didnt request her specifically that is who they just gave me... but I will keep everyone posted!! I am soo excited!

I hope they give you some answers. I also hope if he does have a problem that the poor kid doesn't have to be glutened for the next few months while they make you wait.

CHOP is a very nice hospital. I have heard many good things about them. I hear their childrens oncology unit is also very good.

CHOP is wonderful! We have appts there every 6 months if not sooner. They are watching Colin closely until he is 5. Just incase something might creep up from his premature birth. They really are a godsend. I love it there. I know its weird to love a hospital.. but if you have to go and you are in the area, take your kids there, they have a regular ER for kids.. its amazing..

CHOP is also the number 1 childrens hospital in the country, year after year. So without a doubt, we are always getting the best care available.. and the staff really cares about every single child.. treat each child as an individual no matter what their situation..

      Try a multivitamin maybe it will cover what you are deficient in.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By cristiana · Posted

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!
