ARCHIVED Positive Panel, What's Next?
typhoontyty replied to arismama's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello. We are in a similar situation. My son is almost a year; and after a month long run of diarrhea his ped. ran the celiac panel; and he came back positive for the IgG and IgA antibodies.

So initially his ped. said he had celiac; to do the gluten-free diet; and to see a GI specialist. We saw the GI dr. last week; who isn't yet convinced it is celiac; and wants to do more lab tests and possibly... -

Hello. My son Tyson recently tested positive for the IgA and IgG antibodies; and we are going to see a GI doctor this week. He has been gluten free for about 2 weeks now. Prior to going gluten-free he was having 8 mucousy, horrible smelling diapers a day and was very gassy, bloated and irritable. Now I think his mood is better; but he still is having... -
ARCHIVED Please Help Me Interpret These Labs
typhoontyty posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello. I was wondering if anyone could help me understand these labs. My son is 11 months old; and has had a month long stretch of mucousy diarrhea and irritability. His ped. did stool cultures that ruled out viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. Since his ped. thought he had the rotavirus at first I was told to feed him all his favorite foods;...
