Post the full results with the parameters as different labs can have different measurements.

Sounds like she is positive on all tests run for Celiac. However, do not start the gluten free diet until you have discussed it with your doctor, as they may want to do further tests. Luckily, your appointment is coming up shortly. Use that time to learn a bit about Celiac.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED 2 YRS AGO AT AGE 8. THE GASTROENTEROLOGIST COULD NOT WORK HER IN FOR 5-6 MONTHS SO, I STARTED HER ON THE GLUTEN FREE DIET.

(SINCE YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SO SOON I WOULD WAIT.)

I HAD TO RESTART GLUTEN 3 WEEKS BEFORE HER BIOPSY SO IT WOULD NOT GIVE A FALSE READING.WHICH OF COURSE WAS NO FUN,SHE WAS SO USE TO NOT BEING IN PAIN AND DID NOT WANT TO EAT IT ANYMORE.

THE ONLY REASON I DID WAS BECAUSE THEY SAID HER LEVELS COULD NOT GET ANY HIGHER OR SHE WOULD BE AT RISK FOR SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS AND ALSO, HER TYPE 1 DIABETES WAS BEING AFFECTED ADVERSLEY,YET THEY COULDNT SEE HER ANY SOONER,GO FIGURE.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY HELP,MY DAUGHTER HAS SO MANY DIFFERENT CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS,I AM CONSTANTLY FINDING NEW INFO.

THE DRS ACTUALLY SAID THAT IF THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND THE CELIAC FIRST,THAT SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE DEVELOPED THE TYPE 1 DIABETES.

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Teaganwhowantsanexpltion! Joint pain is a well-established symptom of celiac disease. But joint pain may also be caused by other medical problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. Make sure you share these concerns with your physician so that he or she can initiate testing or make referrals to specialists. As someone with celiac disease it is very important that you be consistent with the gluten free diet.
