I have a seven yr old boy who has been battleing with IBS. now the doctor is changing his tune when I said that I wanted to do an IEP meetin with the school to include this and an hearing loss. So he wants me to see a GI. The last GI didn't know what was going on. My son is so emotional drained from this. He has the diarreha, constipation, sometimes there is blood, hyper out of control behavior. I have taken him completely off milk and whey and have seen a dramatic result. I am running into people who have celiac and it is making me wonder. He has even weird rashes too! The doctor before this said the rash was SCARLET FEVER...he didn't do the strep test. Can someone PLEASE help with a doctor? The doctors want to spend the money with no regard on how they are wasting it.

Hi

I think I know of someone that you will want to see. I am a Canadian and my ins. won't pay but she has assured my friend that Fl. Health care does cover, Sally Marlowe,N.P. 727-723-1454 .

This lady I meet at seniors fair she tests for food allergies. I have had rashes that got so bad I lost all the skin on 30% of my body due to Dr negligence an almost died. My rashes where caused by food allergies. You are their guardian and have a big job ahead of you, .

I would suggest you find some gluten free vitamins and minerals for your boys.

And I wish you well

I have heard good things about this doctor with Florida Medical Clinic. I would not recommend Dr. Franks.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
