Getting My Son Tested

[SAHM2one]

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.
