Im having my daughter tested, although she has no symptoms. She is 15yrs old. I was diagnosed just over a year ago and for peace of mind, i want to make sure she is ok. has anyone had their children tested positive without any symptoms ? My 17yr old son went on the diet on his own, because of bad stomach pain and is now on the gluten free diet. Hopefully my daughter will test neg.

I think it is great you are having her tested! My 13 month old daughter is getting tested tomorrow, and seems pretty obviously celiac. If she tests positive we will be having EVERY member of our family tested just to be sure. We have a history of digestive problems, and this may be the key to it all.

I would not be surprised if your daughter tests positive. It seems that I read somewhere that a father has a higher percentage chance of passing it on to his daughter than to his son. I hope it comes out neg, good luck to you!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      fortunately you don't need to understand anything that doesn't directly affect you.  🤗 you earlier assumed I was deficient in nutrients and minerals due to celiac malabsorption but...... now it doesn't matter? because why? it might mess up your deficiency argument?  if you don't know the difference between having actual celiac disease and NCGS....!!!! correct me if I'm wrong but actual celiac disease causes actual physical damage to your body and increases your risk of certain cancers... just as a start. I have an identical twin sister- IF I have celiac disease, chances are she may too. I have a daughter and other first degree relatives... you also get ADA protections with an actual celiac diagnosis.  but again, not your decision to make  nor to understand. but to suggest that there is no valid reason to find out for sure is incomprehensible on a board dedicated to celiac disease. if you ask me but you didn't so- nevermind.   don't worry though, another member has declared that in her expert opinion based on who knows what- that I don't have celiac!!!  but instead I am "full of beans" and probably killing myself for eating such scary things, I don't know.   if you think you can diagnose me off one single biomarker and a hunch of some sort...based on your history and some research study that you think is relevant- um, well, Glad to meet you, Dr McCoy aka Bones. 🫠 I did not know this was a place where strangers want to play doctor  I am hoping to hear from other members who are not so quick to make judgements and... stuff, let's just leave it at that... perhaps there aren't any.  time will tell I guess

      I don't understand why you are continuing to persue a differencial diagnosis of celiac disease vs. NCGS.  Once you stop eating gluten, those symtoms will go away.  One less thing to worry about.  You improve without gluten so you proved the point.  Why beat yourself up?  Without gluten you can focus on the symptoms that remain and maybe over time, with the right nutrition for you, full recovery.  But it takes time to undo a livetime of poisoning. I'd still like to know your vitamin D. Feel free to ignore me.
