Need Opinion On My Daughter

Hi I have a son who is 23 mo old and has been gluten-free since Febuary and is do well. We have not seen much weight gain but he doesn't have diahrea any more :D . My son had a postiive dietary change and negeitive test results on blood and biopsy. ( I think because he was to young for postitive result).

Here is my problem. I have 5 children and child number 2 and 5 are sick all the time. Number 5 is Braunson the 23 mo old and Brittani is number 2 and she is 7. She has a lot of medical problems like constipated all the time she can be on laxitive 3 times a day with no results. She gets sinus imfections all the time. She was dx with a immudificency problem at the age of 2. She has had 14 surgeries and close to 50 iv's for medications 3 picc line and 2 portacathiders. And to make a long story short she has had Igg panels ran at the age of 2 and I got a hold of them the other day and found out that she had an abnormal IgA level. It was not realllly bad but a bit abnormal.

Is one of the test for celiac disease the IgA test? If so what number indicates celiac disease? Did any one else of trouble with sinus infections and constipation and then get dx with celiac disease? I am debating on putting her through the biopsy and the rest of the blood work. She often looks bloated and pregant. She has never been under wieght. She weight 83 lbs and is 54 in tall and will be 8 in August. But she was anemic at age 1. Can celiac disease run from one extreme to the other in the same family? Any opinion on what I should do? Any ones opinion is welcomed and appeciated? Sorry for the long questions ? Thanks for the help in advance

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
