Thanks all! I knew I could get better info here than from anywhere else. I don't fully understand the different tests and everything but my hubby just picked up the records from the Dr's office. He's not home yet but I'm antsy to look over it. I might have more questions when I get the tests in my hands. I know there are tests that can be false positives...

Thanks so much for your reply. It is very frustrating. Especially knowing we had our answer 3 years ago after trying to do everything right and were given the run around. The last 3 years have been difficult behavior wise and potty training...that's a whole different story. To think that we could have just enjoyed our child and had peace. I think I will...

3 years ago, my son had blood work done. The doctor said it came back "slightly positive" and asked me if I would like to persue the biopsy. We did and it came back negative although the gastro doctor and everyone else for that matter treated me as if I were crazy for having the test done because my son looked healthy and endoscopy only took about 5 minutes...

Thanks for your answers. I am in denial so after feeling well I ate take out from my favorite place. It is a chicken salad with a few ingredients that I thought wouldn't contain wheat, but it has a tortilla and I didn't eat the tortilla. Well...I got sicker than a dog! Maybe because the salad had touched the tortilla. I don't know. A few more days gluten...

New here. Actually, I stopped by a few years ago when my son was undergoing the biopsy which came back negative but brought me awareness of Celiac. Now I am back and this time it is for myself. Let me tell you how I got here. Only for the past few weeks have I been getting stomach pains after meals. The pain is a burning sensation from front to back...

The hospital called Friday and Easton can go in this Tuesday for a biopsy. Yeah! So now that we do not have to wait like I was told, I am just going for the biopsy, that way I will know for sure. Thanks for all the advice! I am sure I will be back with more questions because I think he has it.

Oh that sounds interesting. I am glad research is being done. Yeah I can understand where you are coming from on Enterolab. This is all so confusing.

Hi just 2 more things real quick; my son, his name is Easton by the way, has always been in the 40th percentile for weight and at his check up remained in the 40th something percentile that is why I have not brought up weight as concern, just the height. Also, what do you think about entrolab or whatever that thing is I have been reading about? Thanks...

I agree that percentiles are not for competition. The main reason for my concern with the height is because that was our first red flag that something is wrong. My husband is 6'3" tall and to have a son in the 40 percentile who has always been in the 70's, is a major concern to me. Also, my son has a younger bro who is 6 months now and is wearing pants...

Wow thank you very much. You are all so informative. Thank goodness for the internet.

Thank you. I will take everyone's advice into consideration. My husband and I were thinking we might try a combination. I wonder if we could go gluten free for a few weeks and see if he improves and then just feed him a small amount of gluten after that for the biopsy? I do not know a thing about this so that may be a crazy idea.

Okay, thank you both sooo much. I have already started the diet! He is eating rice as we speak. This will be so hard. He is not enjoying it much, but I think he will gut hungry enough. I have to hide all my birthday cake so he will not be asking for it. It looks like I will be shopping at the health food store tonight. Thanks again.

My son just turned 2. At his 2 year checkup it was noted that his height has decreased by 30% on the charts and he has had loose stools for the past few months. The doc suggested we do a blood and stool test. They tested for Celiac and the doc was very vague with info on the subject and said that one part of the test came back positive, and one part of...
