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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
