I admit it, I am jealous!! A week without worrying about finding gluten-free food! And SMORES!! (need I say more??) My dd just left for camp. Her grandmother is taking her up there.

I wish I could go!

Anyone else sending their child to a gluten-free camp this summer?

PS, my oldest dd (not gluten-free) left fot Tennessee this morning with her choir! I am down to 2 kids for a whole week!

It must be the Great Gluten Escape Camp! We haven't sent the kids yet, but definately plan on it for next year when my daughter is a bit older. I'll bet your dd has a blast....you'll have to report back and let us know how it went!

My eight year old daughter is off to gluten free camp for a week in August. The local Celiac Association puts it on every year (this will be her first). They have a professional chef as the camp cook and I admit I am jealous too!

It's great to see that these kids are able to get involved without any worries.

We have a gluten-free camp in Texas and I can't wait. It starts at age 7 and my ds is 5 so we have a bit to go, but I know that he will love it when the time comes.

thats awesome to learn that there are some, though, hopefully more will begin popping up everywhere!!

      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.
