Hi All,

I'm new to this particular forum, but I figured this need to be posted under "Research".

This is pretty exciting !

GO COUGS, indeed!

You know, if this research pans out, I can see a new Coug commercial before the games where someone inquires about a great gluten free grain

that has been developed -- someone then mentions that is was developed at Washington State University..... then the inquirer says,

Ah, GO COUGS!"

(I apologize, those of you who aren't from WAZZU probably won't get it... it's a Coug thing ;)

BTW, celiac-mommy, I'm originally from Richland, now in NJ. Where are you from?

What's a COUG doing in Jersey?

I'm a Husky (sorry) but am also saying GO COUGS on this. (My brother is a COUG, does that help?)

Laura, what's a Coug doing in NJ, you ask? Well, I spend 1/2 my life in WA (it will always be home)

1/2 in Southern Cal (surrounded by thee o so humble Trojans, ugh!) and now

Jersey. Hubs got an offer here he couldn't refuse, heh heh. Actually I love it here.

We live in northern NJ. There is a road near our house that always reminds me of

Okanogan *sighI* And only 45 minutes from NYC.

It's okay if you're a Husky. I never kick a dawg when he's down (sorry, couldn't help myself, *giggle*)

But a least you have a Coug in the family.

That's right, Jestgar. Just when you least expect it, you'll find us. :D

I'm originally from Toledo WA. I was quite a disappointment (in jest only) to my family, they're all Huskies. My cousin played football there-UW-so they had the rest of my life planned out in Seattle, with a football player... I instead met a Coug loving, business/finance majoring, frat partying, WSU only man and married him 2 years later (our 10th anniverary is Aug 1!). It all worked out the way it was supposed to, and now I'm through and through a COUG!!!!! Sorry dawg lovers :D

Very exciting study.

I am neither but I live in Wa. does that count for anything? My daughter plans on being one of them, I just don't know which yet (she is only 16 we have a few years to decide).

I'm a Dawg fan, but I'm partial to the arboretum. Every spring I rent a boat from the U and paddle on over. It is so beautiful there.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      Just diagnosed today

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
