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.

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
