ARCHIVED Is Ttg Positive Enough?
rez posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
After our first doctor ran the wrong test, our second doctor ran the correct Celiac panel. The problem is my son's tTG was only slightly elevated. It was 8.4 and positive is anything less than 7. He had been gluten free for 4 months though when the blood was drawn. Which would show positive longer, blood or biopsy? I'm wondering if there's any possible... -
Sometimes I feel as if we have had the worst luck this past year with labs, doctors, and blood tests. My son has been battling for the past year with terrible mouth ulcers and stomach pain. Acid reflux and chest pain have been horrible as well. I'm so upset w/ the system I could just scream. :( My son was given the wrong blood test for Celiac back in August...

Anne, I greatly appreciate you responding to all these emails. You are a wonderful addition and resource to this board. I definitely agree with you 100% in my son's case. I would love to see the biopsy proven results just because it's hard to differentiate between "accidental glutenings" and "is this really working". Thanks so much for your expertise and...

ARCHIVED All About Anabelle..(new Here)

My 2 cents is get the blood test before you go gluten free. Then, if it's positive, you have a definite answer. If it's negative, you can always do the diet to rule out the test being false negative. -
ARCHIVED Help!
rez replied to Confused in Iowa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
where are you at in IOWA? We live in Iowa! We're from Bettendorf. -
My son's major symptoms are stomach pain and mouth ulcers. These symptoms can also be related to Behcet's Disease and Crohn's. Since going gluten free, he's improved, but isn't perfect. He had a terrible stomach ache last week followed by waking up the next day with 8 canker sores in his mouth. He still complains of tummy aches, but they don't wake him...

Wow!! This message board is great. Ann, it is wonderful to get your perspective on things. We have a family doctor who has Celiac disease himself. It's been a God send. I have been battling with my son's issues and found a doctor on the internet in Iowa who has the disease! We drive 3 hours round trip just for our office visits, but it's worth it. He...

ARCHIVED Newspaper Article About My Daughter, Mollie
rez replied to KimG's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Great article. Did you get your diagnosis by dietary response, or did she (Mollie) end up having a biopsy? Great article again, loved it. Maybe now doctors will educate themselves! -
ARCHIVED Sudden Onset Of Cold Sores/fever Blisters After Being Glutened?
rez replied to Robina's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My son gets mouth ulcers/canker sores. I've not heard of the cold sores, but I 'm sure it's possible. It seems anything is w/ this disease. He had a bad stomach ache on Tuesday and then woke up with EIGHT cankers sores Wednesday morning. So painful!!! I feel so bad for him! Good luck w/ yours. -
oh no, what's wrong with chips and a rotisserie chicken. I thought these things were gluten free.

ARCHIVED Anyone Else Ever Feel Like Banging Your Head Against The Wall?
rez posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Gluten, casein, soy, chocolate, aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! I have no idea what else to look for or do. I feel like once I strike all the offending foods from my son's diet that there will be nothing left. To try to eliminate all the canker sore/stomach ache/acid reflux causing foods is nearly impossible. I'm normally a great cook and I have ruined two cakes... -
hopefully they'll come around, good luck!

ARCHIVED Anyone W/ Canker Sores?
rez replied to rez's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks so much for your wonderful replies and support. I am going to make an appointment w/ my doctor tomorrow. I had a great talk w/ my mom too. She's so supportive and reassuring. I'm so glad to have her support as well as all of yours. She also said that Thomas must have felt really, really awful. What 8 year old wouldn't want to dive into a pizza... -

ARCHIVED Anyone W/ Canker Sores?
rez replied to rez's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks. It's so easy to get down. Strawberries could definitely be a possibility. I just bought them this past week and now a new canker. Hot dogs may also be the culprit. Thanks for the replies. I just tried baking a gluten free chocolate cake for Thanksgiving and it totally flopped. Half of it was stuck in the pan when I tried to flip it. Trifle anyone...
