Thanks ravenwood, What is interesting about this PA is that she said that her adult d has celiac so she has a personal interest in it. I picked her up from school and she told me that she was scratching more, they are so tiny, I can see how the PA didn't think it would be fully conclusive for DH. I wish we had an expert in this and celiac in our area....

HI Ravenwood, Well, he couldn't see her, but his PA saw her this morn. She thinks it's not DH, she had one small lesion this morn and she thought it was not large enough to determine. I did ask about the skin adjacent to it, she said "Well, it's so small I'd be getting the lesion and the skin around it"..and she said she knew about doing the skin adjacent...

I have tried to "gluten" my d tonight with giving her pasta at dinner time...within 2 hrs "what looks to me like" DH popped out on her knees, mostly right knee. I gave her a bagel before bedtime and will probably give her another bagel for breakfast. The derm said to come in the day it flarses..and am wondering if it's mild. It looks like tiny seeds under...

My 12 yr old daughter is awaiting an appt. to a derm for a biopsy on her knee. It's very very mild right now so he said to bring her in when it's flared and he will see her the same day. It seems to itch more after a shower..we're not positive it's DH, but I think it is when I compared it to the images on the internet and her history of how long she'...

I wanted to do an update as I started this thread. My daughter's pediatrician has agreed to do the other celiac tests that she did not order several weeks ago, after I gave her info on the Columbia University EDU site a member here gave me. We are going to wait and do the other tests in a few weeks after she has had a significant amount of gluten. She...

I am new here and have introduced myself on anonther thread in the Pre-Diagnosis Thread under 12 yr old. Someone told me that if you have true celiac you will have sensitiivity to gluten only, but if you have sensitivity or allergy to gluten, casein it's mainly found only in gluten sensitivity and not celiac. My daughter has gluten sensitivity and...

I forgot to mention that she has had the mouth ulcers off and on since she was a toddler, but recently they have been much less and she is on a mega amount of supplements so this may be helping..but the mouth uclers finding is interesting.

Happygirl, Thanks so much for this info! I am going to print it out and give it to our ped. We went to the orthodontist and he said there were no defects and the staining was removed by him by polishing. He said it could be fron apple juice or tea but she's never had this until several months ago. I am going to ask here since you seem knowledgeable...

My 12 yr old d has not been diagnosed with celiac...yet, but has a very high IgG to Gliadin Antibody..greater than 100. She has in the past several months had a new finding of two upper front teeth with staining..looks brown but not all over the teeth and also looks like vertical lines on them, sort of grooves. She has an appt with an orthodontist tomorrow...

I had previously asked about DH in another thread.."new here with 12yr old daughter..." My 12 yr old d has been diagnosed with gluten intolerance..her Gliadin Antibody IGG result was >100 with >17 being positive. She tested negative to GAntibody (IGA) <3 and TTGA (IGA) <3, although we may be doing the other tests for the panel. SHe has...

We are advised to eat the equivilant of 4 slices of bread daily for 2 months to have a positive blood test and biopsy. I wonder if her ED made the blood tests a false negative?" SHe has been eating at least...

Thanks everyone for your feedback, it is very much appreciated. Please clarify regarding the positive blood test result : > 100 for Gliadian Antibody (IGG) with positive being > 17. It was negative results for Gliadain Antibody (IGA), Tissue Transglutaminase antibody (IGA). From what the nurse told me these two negative results meant she tested...
