does anyone have any pics? i need to see what these look like I tried google and I didn't find any related to celiac/gluten. My ds and I both have redness under our eyes and I didn't know if that was something to do with gluten or not. thanks!

No pictures, but for me I had dark circles under my eyes before going gluten-free. I also had flushed facial skin and was pale a lot with mottled skin tones. My feet and ankles also swell when I get into food allergens. Feet also look mottled.

My allergy eyes went away on gluten-free though.

My son gets dark circles under his eyes when he has been glutened . . . he also tends to get a rash around his mouth - looks like very chapped lips - but it comes on suddenly and takes days to heal. His only real symptom of celiac disease is a marked change in behavior - we get tantrums, frustration, anger, mood swings, etc. It all lasts about a week.

Here is a photo from when he was recovering from being glutened . . . this is when it was almost gone:

Not sure if I would call it "allergy shiners" but usually I can take one look at him and know something is wrong.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
