We are going to see the doctor next week to talk about the chances she has celiac and get the blood test done. I took her off wheat because of her reactions, but she needs to have it in her system for the test. Does anyone know how long I need to give it to her for the test to be accorate?

Thanks

she is too young for the tests to be accurate---some young kids do not produce Ttg antibodies until they are older. that being said, it is still good to test if you suspect it. kids that young can react to alot of different foods----and alot of them will outgrow those intolerances.

Just test thru Enterolab.com & get the gene test - because they test for all the gluten problem genes not just DQ2 & DQ8

& a lot of kids do not outgrow those allergies or food problems - they just keep getting worse, at least mine did. & if it is a gluten problem that will never go away...

I'm curious also...When my son(now22) was 5 days old, he stopped breathing. Thanks to my mom, who was a nurse, she did cpr on him, and got him breathing. It seemed forever til the ambulance came, I don't think he would have survived. The Dr claimed he was allergic. Growing up, he had projectile vomiting, never slept and had a chronic cough(up until this past June, from the time he was an infant)chronic ear infections, etc...Last year when he was away at college, he ran a fever of 104, got dehydrated, and we had to bring him to the hospital to be infused. This past July, after developing DH, I knew that he had celiacs, and he started a gluten free diet. For the first time in 22 years, he is not sick. That chronic cough that used to keep him up all night is GONE!!! He is now back at college, and when I talk to him, I feel like crying, but now its due to happiness. We are waiting for the dna results from enterolab, but I think we know the answer. Hopefully you and your baby will never have this happen. Janet

Thank you all for your info...We went to the doctor today and her doctor wants the celiac panel test done. The only problem is that she is on a glyten free diet. I am pretty sure that she has to have it in her system for an accutate. So I am not sure what to do...anyone have any ideas?

Fire your doctor & test thru Enterolab.com ?? :D

It is okay that you know more than your doctor - you are the Mother & in charge of her health for the next 20 years - or until she is taking care of your health!!!!

I too think that the most accurate way to diagnose is through enterolab. Babies are not able to produce the antibodies needed for the blood test.(taken from the book"gluten free for dummies") My son suffered so much growing up, especially these past 4 years when he wasn't able to keep any food in stomach. I would just cut to the chase, and do the DNA testing, especially if she is now gluten free. My best wishes for your little girl...Janet

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
