Thank you everyone. I am going to the bookstore today to see if I can get the book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" and also "The Specific Charbohydrate Diet" (i forget the actual title) Thank you again for all the help and encouragement. Tracy

Turns out it is Crohn's after all. They did do biopsies to check for Celiac as well and other things. Won't have those results for another week. Not sure what to do now. they want to put her on meds for the inflammation. Fortunately, not steroid type drugs at this point. I would like to try diet changes first but not sure the doctor would go for that...

The doc called today with my daughters blood chemistry results. She said overall they looked pretty good. She said that her sugar was a little high-110. The lab says the range is up to 100. The doctor's office considers 110 to be the high. So.....she feels like it's probably okay but she will have them do a finger poke on the morning of her appt with...

When my daughter's blood work came back it was negative. I forgot that she had been taking Acidophilus tablets everyday for at least two weeks before she had her test. Could this have affected her test results? Thanks!

The gastrp doctor's office called and they want her to come in on Tuesday of next week. I thought it would be several weeks before we could be seen there. The pediatrician told me that there is usually a wait to get in to see these particular gastro doctors. Hmmm... I'll let you know what we find out. Hope all goes well with you and your family.

Nora, What is the SCD diet? Thanks!

I posted a week ago that her test for celiac came back negative. Total IGA was elevated but the t-Tg was negative. She is slightly anemic. They refered us to a pediatric doctor yesterday. Her first thought was celiac's until she saw our previous blood work from the week before. She tested her stool for blood which immediately showed positive. That's...

My husband just picked up my daughters lab results from the doctor. They were not real confident in interpreting the results. They have referred us to a pediatric doctor now, instead of a gastro, with the results. That appt. is next week. However, in looking at her results it says that the range for IGA is 53-204 mg/dL. Her results are Flagged as "high...

Thank you for your reply. I will see if my husband can pick up a copy tomorrow on his lunch break. I'm seriously thinking about implementing the diet but hesitate to do so without a confirmed diagnosis as I know it will be a huge lifestyle change. I just don't want to do it if it isn't necessary, know what I mean? I also wouldn't start it until after...

My almost 11 year old daughter has just been tested for Celiacs. The results came back with the IgA being slightly elevated. Hemoglobin being slightly below normal. However, the other two or three blood tests they use for Celiacs came back within normal range. I can't remember what they are. I think one of them was a IgG. Could she still have Celiacs...
