Wow!! :o:o:o

I am especially stunned about the "short 5th finger"... I was diagnosed with a severe case of hypothyroidism in August. Looking back, I definitely had symptoms by the time I was a teenager. My dad just found out that he has hypothyroidism too.

I also had a pregnancy loss at 17 weeks. This is a really unusual time to have a loss... the chances are less than 1% (risk is highest during the first trimester and goes back up to around 6% during the third trimester). By some miracle, we have two living children, but my husband would like to try again. However... doctors don't want to test for anything until you've had at least two losses. Grrr!!! I've been exploring on my own because I am just NOT willing to go through that again if I can prevent it.

My seven-month-old is definitely intolerant to casein (maybe gluten too) and he has short pinkie fingers... I'm going to check my daughter when I pick her up from preschool!

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JettaGirl · Posted

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
