So should I just go for it and try the test again tomorrow in the morning or wait until after school. Please give me your advice. The buzzy was a cute idea, but I'm not going to get one by tomorrow. How about a bag of ice. I could bring some in a cooler and we could ice it. I used ice when we did IVF shots and the frozen bag of peas was a life saver. So maybe that is a good idea. Not sure how it works with the veins.Do you think they could find her vein better in the morning since it is over 100 her in the afternoon. They told us to bring her back at 10:00 for 3 people to be there. A good idea. Just don't know. Thanks so much.

The ice would definately numb the area, but it also can make it hard to find a vein. I notice a lot that the nurses will wrap peoples arms in warm blankets to warm them up to help them find a vein better. Personally I would go after school then she wouldn't have to go to school after all upset. However going in the morning could have its benefit also so she isn't thinking about it all day at school. Good luck!

Good!

Thibk of the screaming this way -

I used to work at a children's hospital. Healthy kids yell, or cry or at least say "ouch!" Its very sad to see the kids that don't even blink when they are getting more blood drawn (second time today...100th time in 2 years).

I find a lot of the time even for x-ray exams that some children do better when the parent isn't there. It takes out that element and usually they will do better. Glad you were sucessful.

This is good to know....I think I will have Grandpa take my son when he gets his blood drawn. He seems to act "braver" when Papa is around and mommy isn't.... :huh:

Glad you were finally sucessful! Keep us posted on the results!

Funny thing is about that. When my oldest son was little he had chronic constipation and was on everything under the sun for it. Well he was potty trained by 2 1/2 years old but only half the way. We were scared to put any pressure on him to train the rest of the way because we didn't want the constipation issue to rear it's ugly head. So by the time he was 3 he was still using a pull up for bms. Interesting though he did have control over it because he would wear underwear all day even at day care and would have his "routine" in the evening. Well, my parents were down for a visit and grandpa casually said to him that if he could pee in the toilet then he could do the other. He never put another pull up on again to use the bathroom...

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
