if you will review my posts on the parents board, it will give you a little background on my issues currently with my daughter.

if you look on a map, at the spot where TN, MS, and AL meet....that is where Savannah TN is located.

Not sure exactly how far away it is, but look up Dr. Harry K. Delcher in Atlanta GA. He is the doctor I see and is just amazing. He's an endocrinologist with Celiac himself. Also, if you go see him, theres a store not far from his office called Atlantis Natural Foods. They are supposedly the largest gluten free store in GA.

I second Dr. Delcher altough he might be a bit of a drive but so worth it. I can't say enough kind things about him.

I am so glad someone else on this board knows of him! Isn't he just a godsend of a doctor and so understanding?

Isn't he though? I would not be the person I am today had I not met him. I spent 10 years going to doctors who could never come up with anything and this man spent 10 minutes with me and said I know exactly what is wrong with you.

he did the exact same thing with me! I was 17 and could barely walk and had crippling migraines. He took my current symptom list, asked for my health history from the day i was born, and before my mom even hit age 2 of my history he interrupted and told us exactly what was wrong. plus he took the time to explain everything. the appointment was only supposed to be an hour but he took a full 2 hours to explain everything and answer our questions. I was sorry for the appoinment after me because we took so long but thank heaven for a doctor like him!

      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.

      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.
