Hmmmmm.... That is interesting... For about 2 years now I have had chroinc sinus infections. I have been on mega antibiotics and nothing every helps I have just had to live with it! I never thought sinus problems could b a sign of celiac though... I wonder if this will improve when I am on the diet for a while?

Ursula... They didn't have damage to their intestines, but they did have lukeocytes in their intestines which the GI said is a sign of intollerance and could be the first sign of celiac for them... However we have put them on the gluten-free diet in the past but it hasn't changed their symptoms which is why the GI said to wait till their next scope. Part...

I have a lot of gluten-free 'snack' foods for my kids but just am being stubborn about giving up MY foods. lol! I think unfortunatly it is going to come down to our entire house being gluten-free eventually. My girls GI wants me to wait till after their next biopsy to put them gluten-free. Their first biopsy showed some possibility of food intollerance...

Thanks Angie... We normally try to be very careful and even the girls that work at the bowling alley are helpful and careful when preparing our food. I have read all the packaging and they let me know if any of their products change or anything like that. They get the hotdogs strait from the back and wrap them in a paper towel and microwave them, so they...

That list looks almost exactly like my symptoms and I am so sick of feeling this way! I know there are many possible reasons for these symptoms but it never hurts to rule out Celiac as one of them... I am unsure what the celiac panel being low means. With my son's diagnosis his levels were high... Have you considered asking to have a biopsy done...

Ok for almost a year now my health has been going down hill. I have been getting more and more tired and forgetfull and my stomach is often upset. I had a Hystorectomy in August and since then have gotten severly worse. They thought I was anemic at first, but they tested and I was fine, they suspected my Thyroid was too low by the tests though so they...

Ok that is a point I had not thought about till just now. I think keeping her gluten-free is just the best idea anyway. Really I see the difference when we take it out of her diet so I know it has some sort of effect... My DH refuses to believe me though! Thanks. See I figured age may still have a play in the testing but knowing that...

kaiti she was tested at 25 mo, so over 2 yes but not by much. lol

She is 2 years 2 months... Ugh that much gluten would be hard because she does not like bread and wont even eat regular cereal! That would mean lots of cookies and crackers. lol... And 3 months before testing would put us in the middle of moving which would mean another month or more after we get to our next base to get the Ped there to realize they need...

See I would like to have some sort of official diagnosis largly so we know if she can occasionally cheat (if it is just an intollerance) or if she has to be as strict as my DS. She does not have the severe immediate reaction he has, but then again he didn't have it when he was her age either! Now he can lick a cookie and will throw up, she has to eat gluten...

Ok when my son was diagnosed with celiac disease a year ago it was the TTG IgA that came back pos at 40 (a very strong pos) The IgG were neg though. The specialist we saw for the biopsy said with just the blood tests alone he was 99% positive William had Celiac because the one he was pos to was the most accurate for it. Well we had our DD tested at the...

With my older 2, once I got them completely gluten-free they had no problem learning to potty train. William was fully potty trained day and night shortly after diagnosed with celiac disease at 3 yr 3 mo. He was mostly potty trained except for the diarrhea we couldn't figure out (DUH) way before he was 3 though! Emma is 2 years and is potty training...

Seriously I would look at her growth chart and see if she is on the same curve as always or if she has dropped. It wasn't until my son stopped growing and lost weigh that his doctors took me seriously about him being sick and finally ran tests. He was always 90% or above in height and weight and had dropped to 90% in height but 75% in weight just after...

generally the tests are inconclusive before age 2 and could easily give a false -. i would have her retested. we also had our daughter tested at 15 months and it was -, but by 21 months she was really showing the signs our son had started with and i recently challenged her and got + results from removing gluten (and dairy but that is a seperate issue...

Our son is 4 now and he has learned the hard way that he does not want to cheat on his diet!! He proudly announces to anyone who offers him food that he can't have wheat! He learned the hard way what cheating does to him and at a bad time. The night my water broke with Sarah (I was 33 weeks) we had the neighbors watch the kids for us while my DH and I...
