I need a suppliment. Doc suggested Brewers Yeast, I checked it is not an option for celiacs. He is reluctant to give injections. I check food sources and because of other dietary limitation that won't be enough. Can we take pills? I don't do well with pills. Are ther capsules?

I take B6 2 times a day. My urologist put me on it to help me kidneys. I just take the Sun Valley brand or whatever it is at Walmart. They are tiny pills. They have a little taste to them, but if you swallow them quick, you can't even taste it.

If you have a hard time taking pills you can put them in applesauce then take them. You hardly know they are in there. You can crush them first if you like but that will change the taste of the applesauce. Most of the time I put mine in whole. Pudding will also work. Something that you don't chew before you swallow. Good Luck.

Liquid vitmins are another option, and bonus is your body will assimilate them better and you will actually absorb all the vitmins before they have to take the time to "break down" in your digestive tract. So if you are taking them for theraputic reasons that might be the way to go. Some vitamins don't break down at all and then it's a waste of time and $$

good luck B)

Nutritional yeast (slightly different than brewer's yeast) might be an option for you. Red Star is a popular brand.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
