Biopsy Scheduled...2 Months Away

I was under the impression that my daughter would be seen in a few weeks. My family dr told me that she was having an expedited process. The hospital told me that two months is expedited...Great. So now I have two more months to get through, worrying about my daughter, thinking of nothing but celiac/gluten etc. It is hard seeing her so exhausted, cranky lethargic etc knowing there is something wrong and I can do NOTHING. I am not sure how to get through two more months. The waiting is unberable for me. I am seriously wondering why to even bother and just go ahead gluten free now and skip the biopsy. So frustrated!!!

The choice to biopsy is yours alone. Talk to your doctor and see if they will give you a 'diagnosis' if she responds well to the diet. With positive blood tests that can be a possibility. False negatives with children on blood work are common and if her blood tests are positive it is pretty certain that she is celiac.

yeah don't put her through it, or yourself for that matter, I am in the same spot right now, but I just started the gluten free diet, and I think it's already helping, I mean, if the diet works, why do you need the biopsy to say you need the diet right lol

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
