i have good news and bad news.... it is possible for you to not have celiacs(good news) BUT ----(BAD NEWS) YOU HAVE CELIACS Let me explain it is possible to get pos. blood work and not have celiacs, unfortunately if this were the case you would have much bigger problems that you would definately know about...... if you had type 1 autoimmune insulin...

when you have 1 autoimmune you are more likely to have another.... but you must realise that also you are likely to have antibodies that are also likely to be picked up on any antibody tests..... you didn't even test positive. people with type 1 diabetes (another autoimmune) routinely test positive on the antibody test for celiac but have negative biopsies...

i try to make the cake toppers actual toys, like for my 6 year old i put a hot wheels car on it, an the he can pick off the toys and they are pratical.

hi, i agree with the above posters. if you understand that you must go gluten free for life (meaning never questioning the dx) the save yourself the hassle and skip the biopsy and just get healthy. if you want the biopsy for any reason (work or you are not sure or what ever) then get the biopsy. if you go gluten free you are wasting your time and energy...

i have a nutrimill, love it, and grind my own flour it is great. it makes the air dusty so i do it outside, but it is great.

you can have no symptoms and still have damage from celiac's it is called silent celiac, and you find out you have it when you get cancer ect... if someone has symptoms get tested plain and simple

my 6 year old had his biopsy yesterday.... they put an iv in and then gave him the gas to knock him out. we told him they were taking pictures of his tummy and that he would be sleeping during the pictures. they gave us a photo of his tummy to take home and we will tell him when he is older that they cut his intestine in 5 places.... kids don't always need...

we are in utah county by highland -lehi border, and we havn't met too many people with ceilac's from the area. today we went to thhe store "against the grain" on 5400 south in taylorsville and saw some of the stuff in there.... we were pretty pleased to see some cereals we didnt know were gluten-free but are looking to see if there are anyother boys in first...

yeah the problem with an 18 mth old is the blood tests are very unreliable, if you took your boy off gluten and he is not getting better after 6 mths or more, either you did not take him off all gluten or gluten is not the problem and he needs the extra calories consumed with gluten. i don;t know how strict you were and i do n ot know if he gained weight...

they are rarely accurate in children under 24 mths old, but the can do stool testing on the kids under two. we had our 3 year old tested and we are confident the results were accurate, but he eats gluten daily.... it is a blood draw and he did't like it, BUT i was terrified we were poisioning him, so when the ttg game back at 1 and under 20 is negative i...

hi, i sent you a pm ,so check your inbox, but i forgot to tell you , i go to type1parents.org . there you will find an amazing group of people to talk with, most of the kids do not have celiac, but a few do and these guys are amazing and sooooo nice..... betty

my point is many children are silent celiac's ..... if you have any suspision at all, i would not hesitate to get her checked.

my 6 year old had a ttg of 92 and had absolutely no symptoms at all.... no poop problems no tummy pain and very good growth. i would have her tested.... if she is producing antibodies then take her off gluten if it comes back negative you can stop worring for a year or so and have her retested as we have all family members tested yearly.

i have a nutrimill- i love it, it does get warm and can leave a dusting if the flour when grinding BUT it saves me $ since i will be doing the diet for the rest of my life. it will grind the brown rice no problem, if it is too gritty the first time thru, i will send it thru a second time to make it extremely fine, i don't think it is to gritty, but it is...

are you kidding... Add butter? the advise you got was to add butter? wow... my physican insisted all immediate family members get tested the day ds was diagnosed celiac..... add butter........wow.. ok, get the celiac panel run no question, then when his ttg comes back high -- insist on a biopsy so he won't need to do a gluten challenge later in life when...
