  1. NONE of those are tests for Celiac disease. Your dr. did a serum IgA. This is done as part of the Celiac Panel to check for IgA deficiency. If deficient, then the AGA IgA test is not relevant. Check back with your doctor to see if he did the rest of the celiac panel: EMA or tTG (supposedly the most accurate) AGA (antigliadin) IgG AGA IgA (would...
  2. My son had "typical" celiac disease symptoms. He had lots of tummy problems as an infant - reflux, gassy, rashes, etc - but he did grow on the growth curve. I breastfed and started solids at 6 months. Then he started slowing down on growth and completely stopped growing at 9 months. From 6 months until he was diagnosed at 14 months, he would have loose...
  3. My 3 year old son has not grown in a year and is considered failure to thrive now. He was diagnosed at 14 months with celiac disease (positive IgG and IgA, neg ttG). His diarrhea resolved within 1 week of gluten-free diet. He also began to tolerate soy/dairy which he previously could not tolerate. He did well on the diet for 10 months and then developed...
  4. A family member unknowingly gave my son a wheat coated french fry on Friday. He is still having loose poos. How long do typical reactions last? Thanks!
  5. My son developed chronic diarrhea,anemia,anorexia and stopped gaining weight at 7 months old. At 14 months, he had elevated ARA, AGA IgA and IgG, but neg TTG blood levels. His biopsy showed mild blunting. Within 1 week of gluten-free diet, he returned to normal bowel movements and started growing but remains at 3-5% on height and weight. We were given...
  6. My 2 yr old was diagnosed 1 year ago. At that time, his AGA IgA and AGA IgG were elevated. TTG and ARA were negative. His quantitative IgA is normal. His biopsy showed mild shorted villi. His blood work improved after 2 months. And his symptoms improved on a gluten-free diet for 9-10 monthts until 2.5 months ago when I weaned him. (I had also been gluten...
  7. To make a long story short, my son had 2 of the 4 antitbodies elevated (don't know which ones) and had shortened cilia on his biopsy. Had his first solid poop ever one week after going gluten-free. I also went gluten-free because I was nursing him. He did great for 10 months and then I weaned him 2 months ago. For the last 2 months, he's back to his...
  8. First of all, those power balls sound delicious. Do you have a recipe? Please email or PM me if you do. My son is 2 and was diagnosed one year ago. We are dealing with eating issues, too. I have no solutions but just wanted you to know we are also having problems. We recently decided to put food out that we thought he should be eating. He ran around...
