13 Month Old How To Search Out Gastro Doc?

My 13 month old son has had belly issues since birth.  He was on hypoallergenic formula (allimentum) and did fine until solids intorduced.  He was cranky and spent may sleep deprived night with restless ness and belly cramping.  I have kept him pretty much gluten free but I am not keeping a gluten free house.  I finally got the ped to agree to refer to gastro after trials of wheat and so on.... Well after one horrible night after wheat cereal (he was much improved the next day) I feel that is enough.  We see the ped in may and then will be referred to a gastro.  After all the horror stories how can I be sure that the gastro will take us seriously?  My son in not small and not underweight. ( 50% height and 50 to 75 % for weight.)  My husband is very anti- celiac or non gluten sensitivity so I do want some one else to say Hey its true!  Also how long must a person be "glutened" for testing?  what should I ask for testing wise and so on?  He is also somwhat lactose intolerant and definately soy intolerant.  My 9 year old daughter is allergic to soy milk(night in er)  Should I wait to test untill he is older and keep him gluten free untill then?  I hate to make him suffer for a test that may or may not be accurate. 

Thanks,

Becky

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
