  1. We opted to have our son tested when he was 15mos old knowing the results most likely wouldn't be accurate b/c of 1) his age & 2) his immunodeficiencies. We were right, his blood work has tested negative 2x & biopsy 1x. However, he's had a + reaction to both the skin prick test & to a gluten-free diet so according to his immunologist, he at...
  2. My youngest son was diagnosed w/a gluten/wheat allergy this past Friday (May 13th) after doing a 2 mo elimination diet. We've been instructed to continue w/the gluten free diet, restrict dairy intake & keep fruits/fruit juice to no more than 1 serving per day. Is there anything else we should be looking at? Doing? Some background: April 2009 @...
  3. See a pedi immunologist. Low IgG means something's going on w/the immune system & is most often related to Primary Immune Deficiency Disorders. My son has the exact same thing- low IgA & low IgG but normal subsets (if those haven't been tested, get them done b/c they give a better picture of what's going on). He also has low neutrophils which is...
  4. My son (17mos) is having an endoscopy w/biopsy on Friday morning. Our pedi GI recommended this as a next step despite his celiac panel coming back negative. Based on some bloodwork, he has low serum IgA & IgG (subsets are normal) levels which I've come to understand will skew the celiac panel. Is it possible she'll be able to see any damage? What...
  5. I'm jumping in a bit late here... in my quest to find out what's wrong w/my 16mo son, I've come across this. CVID- common variable immune deficiency. I speculate my son has this. He has low IgA & IgG serum levels (3 wks after receiving vax & being sick w/an ear infection), chronic diarrhea, chronic runny nose (sinusitis) & has been treated...
  6. My youngest son's been undergoing testing for celiac. So far he's had: anti endomysial antibodies crp quantitative ESR Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibodies (IgG & IgA) CBC Base Metabolic Panel Liver/Hepatic Function Panel Thyroid Panel Stool C Diff toxin A & B- parasite Stool O & P X 3/Giardia Antigen...
  7. I have a new lab request w/the following tests being ordered: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE serum level IgG Subclasses I, II, III, IV Can anyone shed light on what the pedi GI might be searching for or ruling out? We don't have our follow up appt until Aug 13. From what I've been researching, it looks like she's attempting to see where his globulin deficiency...
  8. Hi there, newbie here! My son (15mos) recently saw a pedi GI b/c of chronic diarhhea & GERD issues. Based on my history of autoimmune disorders (I have psoriasis & psoriatic arthritis as well as suspected asymptomatic celiac), the GI opted to do a full panel to try & get to the bottom of his ongoing issues. He had the following tests done...
