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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
