My parents set up meetings with teachers when I was young and talked to them about it, and I still had some things that were problems(I went to a private school), but mostly they were good about it, now that I am in public school things are getting a lot more difficult. In kindergarten I ingested a goldfish cracker and was sick for 10 days while my distended stomach calmed down. If you don't mind me asking what city/town do you live in? I live in waterville. You don't have to answer if you are not comforable. Oh and maybe this would help you with your son, but Grand Central Cafe in waterville has gluten free pizza and its GREAT! I also just found out about Anellos Pastries in Wells, ME, that also sounds really good! Post back here if you want to talk or email me allisonnn04@aim.com or softballstarallie@yahoo.com, I check it everyday.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
