Pre-Test Diet For Toddlers Celiac Blood Test.

Hi. My 18month old has many symptoms that his Dr. wanted to test him for possible Celiacs at his 2 year old check up. Then after hearing my concerns, said to go ahead and take him off wheat for a few days to see if there was a change.

We did and on Day 4 gluten free, my 18month old had his first, almost normal BM, not all diarreha. Each day, things have gotten better. Now it has been a week and Dr. wants to run the blood work to check for Celiacs.

Questions-

Do I go ahead and put him on a diet including gluten before the bloodwork.

Does anyone know if those 7 days would affect the test with a false negative?

Note- he has been eating gluten for a year, and real food gluten, bread, cookies, pretzels etc for about 9months.

Thank you.

Well - appears there were no replies to my post. That's okay, I figured it out.

Thanks.

      Manitol and mri

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
