Let me tell you more what the doctor said. After the endoscopy he brought me pictures from the procedure. Showed me where it "looked a little like Celiac". Those were his exact words. The biopsy came back negative for Celiac. But the doctor wasn't convinced. He wanted to relook at the slides from endoscopy. He said he was not Celiac. But to me it sounds like...

Would anyone recommend to do a test from Enterolab? Would it be any better or more accurate than the blood work? What about the lab results from the bioposy? Will this tell me how gluten intolerant she is if I do the stool test from Enterolab? I don't want to waste the money if it won't help.

Her IgG was elevated, her IgA, and the Ttg were not elevated. The lab results said negative for Celiac. I will have to clarify more. Any questions that I should be asking? What about H. Pylori? Could this result in a gluten sensitivity? There is a possibility that this could be the case, as Gastritis in children is usually caused by H. Pylori. I've asked...

My daughter had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy 2 weeks ago. The lab results came back negative for Celiac, but she has Gastritis. I heard back from the doctor today because he wanted to look at the slides again. He said she has a gluten sensitivity and we need to eliminate large amounts of gluten from her diet. But after looking up Gluten Sensitivity online...

Thank you!

I've been searching online for something to interrept the lab results but coming up empty. What are normal values for each of the following: (values are all for example 12.6 <10; 1.5 <5.0 etc. Anti-gliadin IgG Anti-Gliadin IgA Anti-Human TTG IgA Anti-Endomysial IgA Total Serum IgA (Is this the total for the above)

There's been almost no weight gain in the last 10 months. They did find an inflammation in the bowels with the blood work, which makes him suspect Crohns. She has the typical rash that Celiac patients get and sores in the mouth - but no other symptoms. She has an almost constant need to eat every hour to hour and half or look out it is meltdown time. They...

They did the Celiac panel. The others in the test were normal.

Just wondering what exactly this means. We had the formal results of the test today. The doctor said the IgG was elevated but the IgA and tTg were normal. The blood work also indicated an inflammation in the bowels. He is not ruling out Celiac and said that is still very possible as well as Crohn's. What exactly does an elevated IgG mean when the others...

We just found out yesterday that our daughter (she's 5) tested positive for Celiac Disease. I've been reading everything I can get my hands on. I do have some questions and I apologize if they have been answered already. I just missed it. Will she be awake for the endoscopy? How long is the procedure? Will there be any pain afterwards or discomfort? We...
