We live near Philadelphia & use CHOP. I heard there are some good docs in NY. I'm open to any suggestions!!!! Thank you so much! Have a great day! Jen

Hi! Thanks for the reply. He is 7 1/2. A tall seemingly healthy kid. Autoimmune seems to run in the family. My brother has Crohn's disease & I have some psoriasis. I just hate to switch his diet until I'm 100% sure. Thanks! Jen

He had abdominal pain & our pediatrician's husband is a pediatric GI so she is tuned into the celiac thing. I was told the gliaden can be false positive. The TTG IA is the main one (?) Definately was eating gluten & still is. I think he is working his way towards symptoms with an escalating TTG IA. Change diet now??? Thanks!

Hello! Long story short, son's TTG IA 29.9 discovered by pediatrician. See GI at Children's Hospital about 2 months later & same value jumps to 40. Endoscopy Negative( heard it can be patchy so bx could miss it) A couple of months later level now 43. Son has NO obvious symptoms?? Good height & weight, no diarrhea. Is gene positive we found out....

Thank you so much! I hope you are doing well! I appreciate the advice.

Thanks! We have an a GI appt this Friday & I will probably push for the biopsy to rule it out.

Hello! My 6 yr old son just had blood work that revealed a positive anti tissue transglutiminase (29.9- 20-30 is a low positive & above 30 is mod-strong positive) but the anti gliadin were negative. I know there can be false positives??Any thoughts or comments are appreciated! THANKS!
