:( DD who is 3, had some blood work done. Her test for the celac disease came back neg. When they tested her to see how her nutrients was, it was very low. So dhe isn't getting any nutrients. They are now going to do a scope on her Wednesday. They said it would take 3 days for the results. I just hope they get what they need. My other DD who is 1 will see him on Monday, though he said he doesn't want to do the scope on her. So I don't know what all is really going to happen. I guess there is something going on since she doesn't absorb her nutrients. I'll update when I hear anything. Has anybody else been threw this? Is DD going to be herself that day, or just sleeping. This will be her first time having a sedation. I don't know what is going to happen. She is sooooo little.

Sorry you don't have a real answer yet.

When you take dd in, they will probably put an IV in and sedate her. She will go to sleep. The procedure should only take about 5-10 minutes. Then she will wake up. She will probably be a little groggy and grumpy. Make sure you bring something for her to drink in a sippy or whatever she uses. They won't let you go home until they are sure she can keep something down. She may sleep all day, or just be a little grumpy, or be her normal self! It all depends on the child and the meds they give her. Just try to relax, and everything will go well.

Keep us updated!

Thanks for the reply. I know I get sick when I'm sedated. I hope she will be ok. I didn't think about her sippy cup. She is drinking out if a normal cup, but I think that day I'll bring a sippy cup.

I just wanted to say that both of my kids had endoscopy done on 3-28-07. They are 20 months and 5. Both of my kids did not have to have an IV and were just given a mask of ansthesia in the operating room, that only took a few seconds for them to be out. You may want to ask if you have that option. I know most of us don't want to have our babies poked anymore than they have to. I was able to be in there for both of my kids ( I have to tell you that that is hard, but they are my kids and I would want to be there with them. I would fine out too, if there is any blood work that needs to be done? Like allergy test or the antibody panel, or anything else that maybe your doctor suspects is going on, so it can be done while your child is out. The procedure took 5 min. for my daughter and about 2 min. for my son. They time to wake up was about 30 min. for each. They were given something to drink by the nurse. They were grumpy when they woke up, but they were eating breakfast about and hour later and then at chuckie cheese about another hour later and then ate some more. My daughter's biopsy was normal, but genetic blood work (another thing you may want to request while she is out, our ins. paid for it) and antibody panel were positive. My son's antibody panel was negative (they checked him just because of my daughter's symptoms)

My daughter had blunted villi, low iron, B-12, and folate. Inflammed intestines and chronic diarrhea. She has now been gluten-free for a week and the diarrhea was gone in 24 hours. Her tummy still looks big, but she is doing great!!!!!!!!!!

Just remember that you are doing this to help her get better and always remember that if something doesn't jive with you then trust your mommy instinct. You are the one with your baby every day not the doctor. If you don't get the answers you think you deserve, then push and if your still don't get results find another doc to work with.

Best of luck. Look to the future that your baby will soon be well!!!

Note on the "little grumpy" comment....

SOME kids wake up screaming scared, many just plain upset. Do not worry if she does, its NORMAL. She will not likely not even remember it later. Its a well known, but often forgotten to be mentioned side effect with small children and anthestia of any kind.

Some kids do not have a problem like this, I do not know the percentages, but the impression the docs gave me is MOST children have some kind of problem like this.

VydorScope is absolutely right, "little grumpy" did not cover it for my son. My youngest son woke up in this crazy frenzy and kept trying to jump off the table. It was almost comical. He is my non celiac. My celiac just had a colonoscopy last month and woke up very well and ready to play video games. He had the sedation through IV. I told the nurse about the experience I had with my other son and she asked if he had been gased, which he was. She said that when children are put out with gas they tend to wake more disoriented then with the IV.

Thank you all for the reassurance. I don't know how they are putting her under. I see the Dr with the baby tomorrow, I'll ask then. He was trying to not run the genetic test, due to the fact if insurance companies see it later they won't want to cover you. That makes since. I had my gahlbladder removed and I have issues with the insurance companies. I will let you all know what happens.

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
