I'm looking for a second opinion since our pedi GI will only further discuss Celiac and way ahead if we agree to biopsy testing. We're in WV, but currently travel to Pittsburgh and are willing to travel to see a good pediatric GI who may give us more options. Thanks!

You could try Dr Anthony Colatrella 412-232-8104

Dr. Ernest Stanley 412-533-3077

another option is to call children's hospital in Pittsburgh & ask for a referral.....

I'm not sure if either doc does children anymore....but it is worth a phone call & if they don't maybe they can give you a name .....

I'm not sure where you are in WV. I'm in the Eastern Panhandle. My little guy sees Dr. Benny Kernzer at Children's National. We love him. He sees patients at the outpatient clinics in the NoVa and Rockville, MD area.

ETA: Part of the reason we love him is that he is very conservative and is not in a rush to do procedures.

      Try a multivitamin maybe it will cover what you are deficient in.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By cristiana · Posted

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!
