- RMJ replied to Samanthaeileen1's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease1Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old
The normal ranges can vary for the tissue transglutaminase and gliadin antibody celiac tests because the units aren’t absolute. Could you please tell us what the normal ranges are for the laboratory used? If her tissue transglutaminase results are 10-fold above the normal range some would diagnose her on that alone. Endomysial antibody ranges are m... -

Hello there! New to celiac community, although I have lots of family in it. My two year old was just diagnosed with celiac disease based on symptoms and bloodwork. symptoms (swollen belly, stomach hurting, gagging all the time, regular small vomit, fatigue, irritability, bum hurting, etc) she got tests at 18 months and her bloodwork was normal... -

This article came at an important time for me. I suffered an entire year with unilateral neuropathy (nerve pain). It was finally a physiotherapist who discussed my diet with me. She knew her stuff! She asked me what I had for breakfast every day. I said, avocado toast. She said that the avocado was good but that the toast was devoid of nutrients, and was...- 1

The normal ranges can vary for the tissue transglutaminase and gliadin antibody celiac tests because the units aren’t absolute. Could you please tell us what the normal ranges are for the laboratory used? If her tissue transglutaminase results are 10-fold above the normal range some would diagnose her on that alone. Endomysial antibody ranges are more standardized, and a titer of 1:5 would usually be normal. Might that be the normal range and not her result? Her total immunoglobulin A is normal for her age. (This is tested because if low, then the other IgA tests might not be valid).

Hello there! New to celiac community, although I have lots of family in it. My two year old was just diagnosed with celiac disease based on symptoms and bloodwork. symptoms (swollen belly, stomach hurting, gagging all the time, regular small vomit, fatigue, irritability, bum hurting, etc) she got tests at 18 months and her bloodwork was normal. She just got tested again at 2 1/2 because her symptoms were getting worse and these were her results : Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA 58.8 Unit/mL (High) Endomysial Antibody IgA Titer 1:5 titer (Abnormal) Gliadin Antibody IgA < 1.0 Unit/mL Gliadin Antibody IgG 8.5 Unit/mL Immunoglobulin A 66 mg/dL Her regular pediatrician diagnosed her with celiac and told us to put her on the strict gluten free diet and that we wouldn’t do an endoscopy since it was so positive and she is so little (26lbs and two years old). I’m honestly happy with this decision, but my family is saying I should push and get an endoscopy for her. It just seems unnecessary and an endoscopy has its own risks that make me nervous. I’m certain she has celiac especially with it running in mine and my husbands family. We are now thinking of testing ourselves and our 5 year old as well. anyways what would y’all recommend though? Should we ask for an endoscopy and a GI referral? (We are moving soon in 5 months so I think that’s part of why she didn’t refer us to GI) -
This is really helpful I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

You are not confusing yourself you have got it right. Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD. would work for me.
