Update On My 2 Year Olds Scope/biopsy

I am so wrapped up in daily life I forgot to post! He finally got to have the proceedure done on the 9th and nothing was found. OK. I have mixed feelings about this, one of relief that there wasn't any damage found with the NAKED eye and one of frustration because he still has suspicious bowel movements. Now, the biopsy results won't be back until the end of this week so a few more days we are suppose to wait. Gaah!

If nothing else, it seems we will be back at the allergist to see if there are other allergies that have been overlooked or newly developed. Like the egg one that came up pos. on the RAST test that I think I'd like to be confirmed with the scratch test. He doesn't react but I know he may at some later date. I'm just tired of taking things away from him.

So nothing really new to report except that all seems normal and I will update when we get biopsy results.

I was wondering what had happened because I haven't seen you posting lately. Did you ever do stool testing? I can't remember. I did remember about the foul smelling BMs. My son has been having them and I took samples this morning to the lab. So we shall see.

Since you have the biopsy done, you can start him on gluten free.

They did do stool samples and nothing came of them; all was normal. Blood was all normal except an egg allergy and low Vit. D levels. Now the scope looks normal and we are waiting on the biopsy to look closer. If that is normal I am assuming it's just how his body reacts to his allergens? I don't know.

He's back to a gluten-free diet now because he is better on than off.

      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.

      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?

      @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.
