Getting My Son Tested


SAHM2one

Recommended Posts

SAHM2one Contributor

If my HGB (iron) is going up, I will know today, then I will be taking my son, 2, in this week for testing.

When I was tested a month ago my doctor didn't do the right tests, and won't retest me, so I only have the fact that the diet is making me feel better to go on.

I want to go in to my son's doctor knowing exactly what tests I need done on him. Can someone provide me with a list of what he needs done? I know that I also want to add a full CBC and Ferratin since I have so many problems with anemia.

Thanks.

You might want to check in the pre-diagnosis, testing section. I just seen talking about the different things to test for- I didn't write it down yet though.

Ask for the Comprehensive Celiac Panel--

Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA

Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG

Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA

Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA

Total Serum IgA

Thank you. I am printing that out and taking it with me. I don't want them to have to stick him twice or the results come back like mine because they didn't do the right test.

Ask for "Gene" testing too while you are at it.

Grain free, too? I am so impressed, that must have been so difficult!! Were you tested for all of those foods or did you give them up to see how you would feel??

I did enough research and read enough compelling books to lead me to the conclusion that HUMANS are not designed to eat GRAINS. They are naturally foods for birds and rodents.

I was very interested in the SCD diet and that is what I follow 85-90%. The improvement has been striking.

This morning I had grain free blueberry muffins that are amazing. I am not doing without.

Last night I had Indian pumpkin/chicken curry. Delicious!

It helps to have a positive attitude.

It's only food.

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption? 
    • knitty kitty
      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
