Hi I'm new to this site. My 5 year old son, Ryan, is in the process of being diagnosed with Celiac. He had a blood test 3 months ago, and we found out today when we saw the GI doctor that it was inconclusive. That 2 of the tests were not valid b/c he has some protien in his blood that is on the low side and can effect the test. However, the 3rd one showed high levels and needed to be looked into. He did another blood test today and if the numbers are still high, he is going to do an Endoscopy and find out for sure if he has it or not.

So, when I was googling info about this disease I found this website. I decided to join to find out some info, so if he does end up having it, I can be prepared. Hope to meet other moms who have kids with it. :)

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
