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.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
