I'm Nervous!

I will be hearing from the Dr. tomorrow on the results of my ds' blood work.

I have had many medical issues with both my dc, and have always had the "Mommy Instincts" to guide me through them. I can honestly say that I do not have them with me for this one. I truly don't know what the result will be. Ds' symptoms have waxed and waned since being put back on gluten. I think this is what is clouding my ability to know if something is truly wrong with him. I hate not having the 6th sense of knowing, KWIM?

I guess I'll have the answers tomorrow.

Can anyone tell me what the number should be for a normal blood panel? As well as what indicates Celiacs?

Also has anyone else had to pay out of pocket for the blood test? We had to pay $150.00. Kind of hard to swallow, especially when there is the possibility of it not being positive.

I just got back my son's results for the celiacs. We havent gotten the bill yet from Quest so I dont know how much we will have to pay. I havent even got the insurance eob yet. So, I cant help you there. For the genetic blood test, it depends on the child's age. For my son who is 14 months, the negative is a 24 to 100 and something. He was an 18-so he tested postive. My son was already on a gluten free diet, so that test he tested negative on(not sure on the numbers). Hope that helps.

Your blood test range will vary from lab to lab. Post your results from your test here and some will intrepred your results.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By lehum · Posted

      The article was shocking - and horrifying - to read. For me it’s a good argument to cook as many fresh foods as possible. I personally can’t do grain free because I lose weight too quickly and don’t feel full, but I will be sticking to companies I trust like Lundberg for rice.    I live in Germany and thankfully, labeling here is more transparent and more trustworthy than it appears to be in the U.S. these days (where I’m also originally from).  I am so sorry to hear this! May you heal quickly. ❤️

      Yes, it is unfortunate that the GFCO seems to have a policy that allows companies that it certifies to lower their guard the longer that they've had their certification. After jumping though the harder GFCO testing requirements for long enough they seem to "rubber stamp" companies and allow them to keep their certification with much less testing going forward. To me this is like having a restaurant where you train the staff one time about how do handle gluten-free foods, and do the training less and less over time, even though you might have high turnover in the industry. People in big food production and supply companies come and go, just like in restaurants, and it's important never to lower your guard.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There are tons of ingredients that can cause IBS-like issues in anyone, but especially in newly diagnosed celiacs, and it would probably make sense for us to do an article on that topic, but here is an article that might be helpful:

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thanks but that amount of gluten will def have me in chronic pain and discomfort. My hemorrhoids issues are quite severe. Part of the reason I've abandoned diagnosis.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Beverage · Posted

      Are you exposed to any airborne sources of gluten? We have an older house and constantly fixing something. Cutting into old wall board or plaster can release gluten into the air. Also, the sickest i ever got was from taking care of my neighbor's chickens, they get excited and kick up everything, air filled with dust. Sure enough, their food contained gluten grain.  Any pets? If they are eating gluten, they lick themselves, you pet them .... my pets all eat grain free pet food. If I pet someone else's critters, which I am compelled to do, I immediately was hands.
