So my 14mo old sons tests all came back negative for whatever they tested for (8 biopsies)in addition to crohns and celiacs. So there is no explanation for the ulcerations and swelling at this moment in a medical sense. GI doc said it could of been something simple like a bacterial infection as the ulcerations were all new. She also said it could be the very beginnings of celiacs and that she is more than happy to check again in a few months. i am breathing a cautious sigh of relief! my 30mo old tested negative as well. i am going to continue to give a gluten reduced diet as opposed to gluten free since i have seen no symptoms from either child. i appreciate this site very much.

Just a question... were your children on a reduced gluten diet right up until they were tested?

How are they going to treat the ulcerations? With the doctor stating it could be the early start of celiac, I'd be inclined to try the diet. Why does she want to wait until there is more damage. What kind of symptoms were your children having? There are some people that don't have ouward symptoms that indeed have celiac. love2travel comes to mind.

nope,, wasnt even a thought in my mind, we have been treating him for reflux which is why the endoscopy was being done to check his esophagus and such. the ulcerations were a surprise.

My 2yr old daughter was tested last year because of her constant diarhea but her diagnosis ended up just being 'toddlers diarhea' which she has out grown for the most part unless she has to much milk.

my son had reflux since birth along with a milk allergy. seems to have a soy allergy as well. and because he hadnt outgrown the reflux as most babies tend to, the gi doc suggested the endoscopy and 24hr ph test. there is no signs of reflux now so i guess he must of finally outgrew it. gi doc said its a slight possibility its the start of celiacs but since my other child is neg as well as me i am not to worried about that but the ulcerations are definatly a mystery. i asked about testing my son again just in case and she said she would be happy to but if he is gluten free then it wont show on a test.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      I have Celiac and had a bad reaction to the regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles.  The baked ones in this flavor are apparently marked gluten-free, but watch out for the regular ones.  I wish I would have seen a post like mine, instead of one that was specifically referring to the baked chips from my google search, before I pulled the trigger.  Hopefully some day they'll require gluten disclosure on the ingredients, not just "wheat."

      I am trying to find a Celiac Dietician who works with the Celiac Disease Foundation.  They don't have to be located in my area because I can do video visits. Can anyone help with this?

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks
