Meeting Other Celiac Kids Tomorrow

Tomorrow we are going to a Cel-Kids event (just a chance for Celiac kids and their parents to hang out). It will be the first time Victoria has a chance to meet other kids with Celiac Disease. There are 2 at her school, but they are in a few grades higher than her so I am REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping for a girl who is 9-11 ish for her to be pals with!!!!

I am bringing my yummy banana bread (I modified my old recipe to use Pamela's mix instead of regular flour and it is fantastic). I can't WAIT to meet other parents and hopefully learn some new things from some old hands at the gluten-free lifestyle.

The general theme are tips for school lunches (packed from home) so I'm hoping for some new ideas!

Wish us luck!!

You are so lucky to have a meeting like that for your child to meet other Celiac kids. If your child wants an email friend...let me know. My DD is 9. Today is her 2nd day of gluten free. She had her biopsy on Friday and it will be 7 -9 days before we get the results back. Of course I couldnt' wait any longer to start her on this diet b/c she's lost so much weight. Let me know if she wants a friend in NC.

Anybody here from NC?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
