Is This Celiac Disease

Hi There

I was wondering if anyone could offer me any advice from your experiences of celiacs disease.

Basically, my 12 year old son has been suffering from terrible pain and on/off swelling to his calfs and knees over the past few months. I took him to the GP nearly 2 months ago who ran some bloodtests which found that he as alkaline phospherate levels in his liver of 360. On the advice of a consultant the GP ordered a second set of bloods to be taken last week, they found that although his AP levels had come down marginally he is now also aneamic.

An aunt of mine has celiac disease and the GP has ordered that coelic tests be ran alongside his liver function test next week. Looking at the symtoms i am wondering if HArry might possibly have this eg, frequent nose bleeds, nasty bruising, aneamia, bone pain, high AP levels. He has also suffered from asthma and exzema since babyhood.

Aboslutly any advice much appreciated.

xxxxxxxx

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
