Stool Testing

I posted this in Parents of Kids/Babies with Celiac...

But thought I'd get extra opinions here since this is the symptoms/diagnosing forum.

My daughter has lots of symptoms:

--major gastro issues since infancy

--chronic constipation (takes Miralax daily)

--abominal pain that has become a daily thing the last couple months

--frequent diarrhea in between being constipated

--explosive tantrums

--gas

--foul smelling poops

--floating poops that are difficult to flush

--hip/leg pain off and on

--rash on bottom for a year and a half (did not respond to antibiotic creams, oral antibiotics, etc) that was swabbed for DH, will get results this week

She had a blood test last week--CBC, and the preliminary results were normal--tested for C-Diff bacteria, thyroid issues, etc. Normal.

We are still waiting on the celiac panel as it had to be sent out.

I also did a 3 day stool test and we got those results back today--NORMAL.

I am kind of concerend. Not that I WANT her to have celiac disease, but at least it is an ANSWER to her issues, and there is a solution. My big fear is that we will never get an answer as to what is causing all her GI issues.

How accurate is the stool testing? Can you have a negative stool test, but still a positive blood test?

Her gastro. says if all this is negative, we will move on to an ultrasound, etc.

Thanks in advance!

The symptoms definitely sound like celiac disease. I wish I could answer your question about the testing. I know exactly how you feel about wanting an answer. I was dying to know what was causing my symptoms. Once I finally found out I was so releaved. I need to remember that feeling now when I'm so frustrated with it! :) Good luck!

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
