What Test To Get For Toddler?


BlueTaelon

I have Celiac as does my older daughter. I was glutened a few times in the weeks following my toddlers birth and she reacted just like a celiac as well like my older daughter did. Due to the lack of gluten exposure we opted for genetic testing. She did not get DQ2 or 8 so we kinda figured we were home free with her. She's 3.5 and we finally introduced gluten in January and stupidly introduced dairy about the same time. Since then she's been complaining of stomach aches while eating, the foods she's eating when complaining contain both gluten and dairy. Obviously I need to pull them and figure out which one is the problem but are there any tests I can do that will pin point it faster/better then elimination and challenge? I'm thinking either regular gluten intolerance or dairy allergy. Would it be worth it to repeat a celiac panel if she didn't get DQ2/8? I know they haven't identified all the genes and its possible I passed on a different one.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated celiac blood antibodies in some individuals. The most likely explanation is celiac disease but it is not quite a slam dunk. The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac disease diagnosis and serves as confirmation of elevated blood antibody levels from the blood testing.

      Vitamin D status in the UK is even worse than the US.  vitamin D is essential for fighting bone loss and dental health and resistance to infection.  Mental health and depression can also be affected by vitamin D deficiency.  Perhaps low D is the reason that some suffer from multiple autoimmune diseases.  In studies, low D is a factor in almost all of the autoimmune diseases that it has been studied in. Even while searching for your diagnosis, testing your 25(OH)D status and improving it my help your general wellness. Vitamin D Deficiency Affects 60% in Britain: How to Fix It?

      Hi, I recently was informed by my doctor that I had scored 9.8 on my ttgl blood test and a follow up EMA test was positive.   I am no waiting for a biopsy but have read online that if your EMA is positive then that pretty much confirms celiac. However is this actually true because if it it is what is the point of the biopsy?   Thanks for any help

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.
