Got The Test Results Back, Now Have More To Do "frustrated"


Guest GoofyG

:( 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.

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well.  Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration.   If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties.  Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me.   Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These forms get into the brain easily.  Magnesium Threonate gets into the brain easily, too, and helps thiamine work.  My gave a sigh of relief when I first took it, and no migraines. Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine diet can help, too.  DAO supplements lower histamine, as well.  DOA is a digestive enzyme we can run short on.

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins.  The important thing is to read the label and watch out for fillers like rice flour.  This may help. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain
