Finally Have A Diagnosis For Dd

Well, we FINALLY have a diagnosis for my 3 yr old dd. I have posted before about her and her bleeding problems.

Her platelets don't function properly. She also has a Factor VII deficiency and von Willebrands disease. She has two seperate bleeding disorders.

She went through a horribly long test today to confirm the von Willebrands. They had to put in 2 IV's because the first one fell out, and in all they poked her 5 times. She was so ready to get out of there. We were in there for over 4 hours.

So we finally have a diagnosis and we don't have to go back to the hematologist for 6 months!

I am so sorry she has had to go through so much but so thankful you now have answers. Hopefully there is something the doctors can do to help her now. It has got to be such a relief for you to now understand what is going on with her. I hope her condition improves.

Yes, I agree. I'm sorry she's had to go through all of this but it's good to have an answer with the diagnosis and to know what you are delaing with.

      Try a multivitamin maybe it will cover what you are deficient in.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By cristiana · Posted

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!
