I have 3 kids who have been tested for celiac disease. All had very high AG IgG. Only one had a positive biopsy. We did the HLA gene test through Kimball Genetics. No one had DQ2 or DQ8. Neither did my husband or I. I probably will try to go through Enterolab to see if we have gluten sensitivity genes (although the medical bills are really adding up...

I've been reading past posts about Enterolab testing and the genetic testing but haven't seen much about Kimball Genetics. We had the celiac disease DNA test done hoping it would give us some answers -- it did, but ended up giving us more questions. Three of my children had very high IgG levels in their initial bloodwork. Only one came back with a positive...

We were aware of the Corn Pops being no longer gluten-free so, we switched to Malto Meal Corn Bursts by General Mills. They have been a favorite treat cereal for my kids. Now, I just heard that they can no longer be considered gluten free. I will call the company but for now has anybody else heard about this?

I have three kids, and now possibly all four, of my kids on the gluten-free diet. Needless to say the snack and lunch ideas postings are my some of my favorites. It can be hard to keep foods interesting and fun, especially when other kids get good school lunches or snacks at school or outings. I have found that they really enjoy gorp-type mixtures. I...

I need help deciding which company to go through for genetic testing. Her IgG was high, all else was within normal. Her biopsy was inconclusive. Two brothers have celiac disease. She has a 4 year history of migraines with nausea and vomiting. She is gluten-free but has been getting her migraines at least every other week. We need to determine if she has...

one of my kids favorite lunch items is cheesey Chebe balls. i make the dough in advance and cook them in the morning. i also pack gluten-free spaghetti sauce in the little reusable plastic containers for dipping into. they love these, but only if cooked that morning, otherwise they get rubbery. you can also add pepperoni to the balls or wrap the dough...

Two of my children have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease. They had obvious symptoms and obvious improvements on a gluten-free diet. My third child often had bad headaches and joint aches so I thought she would probably test positive too. But, she had an IgG of 64 and other tests were negative. Her biopsy was negative (no flattened villi but...

It's been a while since I posted my first question. I just wanted to update. We did go through with the biopsy on the advise of my family doc and my son was positive for celiac disease. In the meantime, a letter came from the ped. gastroenterologist stating that my son did not have celiac disease. We decided to test my 4 year old son and his IgG was at...

oops! I meant to say that the ped gastroenterologist said that my son was probablt not gluten intolerant.

In march of 2004, following c/o of constipation, frequent loose stools, tummy aches and fatigue, my son was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. His bloodwork was normal except for low iron and an IgG of 117 (norm is up to 22). His doc (a family practice doc) said that very high IgG was enough to start him on a gluten-free diet. We went for another opininion...
