Testing In Toddler - Total Serum Iga

Hi All,

I'm just wondering if anyone can shed some light on testing for an 18-month-old. I'm personally convinced that my 2 young children and I have celiac. I just tested positive for DQ2.5, but my serology was normal. Dr. wants to do an endoscopy. My young daughter had testing done, but only the serology, not the genetics. It all came back normal. I'd heard that testing in young children was not too reliable, and that lab normal ranges for Total Serum IgA are sometimes too low to detect a deficiency. Has anyone heard of this? The lab value range was from 8-220, and my daughter was 17. Maybe this is a stretch, but we've got to figure something out to get her eating and growing! Thanks in advance for any info you all can share!

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S

      I’m glad you have a clear answer.  Some endoscopes have enough magnification for the doctor to see the damage during the procedure.

      Welcome to the club!😉 This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I could not find the thread, but I recall at least one user who was drinking regular gluten beer daily but getting celiac blood tests done often (I think it was monthly) and doing a biopsy each year and all celiac disease tests were always negative. Everyone is different, but in general regular beer would be considered low gluten (not gluten-free!). I have no issues with Daura Damm, but those who are super sensitive might.
