    So, not sure if anyone is still on this topic but I wanted to update everyone anyway. So we did the celiac blood panel and it was very negative. The values were 1 and .6. But we did find out that she has a growth hormone deficiency and high neutrophils and low lymphocytes so I think that indicates an infection. But it was the same problems in her blood...

    So we went to the Dr yesterday and she wrote up the orders for the blood test but said that when we did blood last time she tested for wheat allergy and since it came back negative then she most likely doesn't have it. Is that a correct statement? Would it show up under an allergy test if she had celiac? Anyway, we are just waiting for the results. I...

    Sure, my just turned 2 year old suddenly dropped off the growth charts at 10 months old. Even then she didn't seem sick but we tried fortifying her diet with whole milk, butter, sour cream and pediasure everyday. Even with all that she still didn't have adequate weight gain. She has only gained four pounds since then and it has been a struggle. She is developmentally...

    Thank you for your response. I just want to have as much information as possible when I go in to the Dr.

    Ok, so I have some questions. I am probably jumping the gun because we haven't even seen the Dr yet but here goes. So Celiac disease is like an allergy except the response the body has? In an allergy there would be a histamine reaction and in Celiac the body attacks itself? Am I getting that right? Also, if blood work comes back positive for the antibodies...

    I am in the same boat. My 2 year old has been having trouble gaining weight and we see the Dr on Tuesday, (when I hope they will order the tests) and I am all for doing the blood work but I keep thinking what I will do if they want to do a biopsy. I don't know what the benefit would be. Is there some purpose for having it diagnosed that way? As opposed...

    Thank you so much. We have been looking for answers for a year now and I feel like this is it. She has started the hyperactivity recently and it is driving me crazy!!! She can't sit still at all and is making horrible messes. She can't have a drink anymore because she spits it all out one mouthful at a time. She used to be so content and calm. Now its out...

    Ok, so I actually have 4 children, none of the others have had any weight problems or anything like that although my oldest has eczema and my son has asthma. I am not sure about starting my 2 year old on a gluten free diet without Dr approval because she already isn't gaining weight and I am not sure about my ability to give her enough calories on a gluten...

    Thank you all very much. We have done blood work and allergy testing and even tested for Cystic Fibrosis. But no blood work for Celiac. We have a pediatrician weight and height check next Tuesday so we will discuss testing with our pediatrician. My friend said if the Dr. doesn't want to do the test I could just go straight to either a GI Dr or an endocrinologist...

    My daughter just turned 2 and we have been dealing with her not gaining weight since she was 9 months old. She was growing fine until then and suddenly she dropped from the 25th percentile to the 3rd and since then she keeps dropping. Sometimes she will show some gain but then the next time she is checked she will drop again. Last time the Dr. charted her...
