I went in to see my doctor after about 3.5 months on the diet. He ran a Celiac panel/blood test but warned me that I may not see any change until after six months (especially because my tTg was off the charts, over 300). He also sent me to another facility to do a small bowel series to check for lymphoma and to make sure nothing else was wrong in that area.

I got a call from him today and good news! Not only did the bowel series come back normal, but my tTg was down to 53.1! Wow! I surprised even him with that one! He said that I'm well on the road to recovery and am doing very well. Very good news, indeed.

Just wanted to share. :)

Fantastic, Jessica! It's good to know all the effort you are putting into being gluten-free, it's certainly well worth it. :D

Thanks, everyone! I still have a little ways to go (I believe my doctor said that normal is 15), but it's such a huge improvement! It's just so exciting to see that all of my hard work is paying off. :D

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.

      Am I nuts?

      Thanks to both of you for your responses! Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone.

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—
