Dd And Ds Have Celiac

Okay, DS's stomach hurt for a couple of days last week (Wed. and Thur). Well starting on Saturday DD's tummy started hurting too. DS didn't have diarrhea or throwing up but just a quizzy feeling. DD has had diarrhea and throw. up since Sat. I have been keeping an eye on it and was thinking maybe it was a virus and not Celiac but now I'm thinking it's celiac. Friday I looked around at diff. foods/bev. they've had to see if I bought something by accident. Well I noticed that the hot choc. (store brand) that I bought had Modif. food starch in the marshmellows. But the allergy info. said Milk and Soy. I took the hot choc. away and they are not able to have anymore. Could this be due to gluten?? DS is fine and has never been as severe as DD. To me it is the pattern of being glutened. I feel so bad that I made that mistake. The only other thing that is different is that they have had donuts from Kinnikinick. They have never been sick from those before. Why don't they put Gluten on the food labels? It is always either milk, soy, wheat, ect.......

Thanks

I meant to say that my DS is fine this week. His was over after a couple of days but DD's is lingering on.

Modified food starch in the US should be fine. It would have to say wheat on the label if it contained wheat starch.

Oh Know!!! I just read the Heinz 57 sauce and it has malt vin. in it. I've been feeding that to my kids thinking that was okay. Not that the malt vinegar was okay but I could've sworn that H. 57 was fine. I think that I confused it with A1 steak sauce. I feel really horrible now.

We all make mistakes, even after doing this for awhile (for me about a year and a half), and we all feel bad about it, too. Just remember it does no one any good for you to feel guilty for too long, just try to remember that mistake and continue to always be vigilant (as I had to remind myself just a couple of weeks ago, too :) )

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
