Test Results Are In

Well today I got the results back for my stepson, and all of them came back elevated, but the malabsorption. But he does carry one celiac gene and one gluten gene. So since he does not have malabsorption is that a good thing or bad, or was it cause he was already gluten free for a few weeks prior to testing.

It means you caught the disease before it did so much damage that he wasn't absorbing food.

I am glad you now know and can get him feeling better.

Having him come on the board is a great idea. I would not even ask him his screen name so he could feel he has the freedom to ask whatever questions he needs to. Having other kids to talk to could help alot. The more responsible he feels for his diet the better he may comply, if that is even an issue.

Dear Paula,

I am glad you found out early! Had he waited until later to do the diet, he might have ended up with much worse health issues. It is great he has no malabsorption. That means you got him diagnosed before it was severe. I think it would be a great idea if you could get him to talk to others!

There may be some of his friends who are sick and do not know what to do. This could help people!

Sincerely,

Thanks everyone. I am happy that we now know. I am now trying to talk my husband into having the gene test done. I want to know if the celiac gene came from him or my ss mom. I am sure it came from the bio mom since the sister has celiac. But i want to be sure for the sake of the rest of the kids. But he is afraid to find out. So we shall see if i can make him do it lol.

Ok this might be a dumb question but i was wondering, ,since there was no malabsorption does that mean his body was absorbing everything that it was supposed to. Or will he now grow and gain weight from being gluten free. He is very skinny and not as tall as his classmates, and it has made him very sad, so i was hoping maybe being gluten free now that he would grow.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
