Well the nurse called and said my dd test results were all normal and she doesn't have celiac. The nurse said she was going to ask the Dr but he probably wasn't going to do the scope now. Her results were: ESR 6 ttg 3

Thanks everyone, I don't know anything really about the tests. The GI Dr said he was testing her for celiac so I wonder why he only tested her IgA. He said some things that made me wonder about him like the mouth ulcers and blood in stool are usally from IBS and not Celiac. From what I have read online Celiac can cause that too.

I brought my daughter to the new ped. for the stomach flu and she commented on how thin my daughter was. I told her about how she felt sick everytime she ate foods like pasta, ect. The new ped. asked if my daughter was still eating wheat because...

Thanks for your replies. Jerseyangle, sorry for my incorrect terms. I guess I mean she may be intolerant. Is celiac and intolerant the same thing?

Anyone have any advice??

My daughter was always having a hard time gaining weight and she always stayed in the 10th percentile. She also was anemic on and off for the 1st 5 years. She is now 11 and is very anorexic looking even though she eats a ton. For the past 2 years she has constantly comlained she feels sick. I have taken her to the ped. and he ran a BMP, checked her thyroid...
