We did genetic testing in our family and found that my son has DQ2, subtype 2.5 (I think I said that correctly)--so he has the gene for celiac. Since we are all eating gluten now, we are planning to get blood tests for my son, my husband, and myself (since my son must have gotten the gene from either my husband or myself) to see whether any of us have an...

ARCHIVED What If Symptoms Get Worse After Going gluten-free?
Staceyshoe replied to Staceyshoe's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you for that reality check! I know this is the right thing--really I do. I think I just dread their response if all is not roses after going gluten-free. I've been the one pushing for testing, so I feel guilty about taking away something they enjoy. I guess I need to remind myself that it's the right thing to do. Thanks for the support! -
ARCHIVED What If Symptoms Get Worse After Going gluten-free?
Staceyshoe posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We recently did genetic testing on our kids, and one of my sons has "THE" classic gene combo for celiac--which means that either myself or my husband has it also. We're strongly suspecting my husband because both he and our son have similar symptoms. Their symptoms are somewhat irritating, but really not bad at all. In fact, we never paid much attention... -

ARCHIVED Blood Work While On Allergy Meds
Staceyshoe replied to Staceyshoe's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you both! I've read so much about false negatives in the bloodwork, and I don't want to doubt the results after they come in. We did genetic testing so we know that my son has "THE" classic celiac gene combo, but he doesn't have the stereotypical symptoms. He's always had some kind of digestive problem, though, so I thought we'd do the bloodwork... -
ARCHIVED Recipes For Multiple Food Sensitivities
Staceyshoe posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
My youngest son has multiple severe food allergies including wheat, soy, egg, dairy, peanut, and tree nut. (He has an epi-pen for 4 foods, so even trace amounts are a huge issue for us.) We just did some genetic testing and now strongly suspect celiac for my husband and older son (genetic testing was positive plus symptoms--blood test coming soon). Given... -
ARCHIVED Blood Work While On Allergy Meds
Staceyshoe posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Before I take my son in for bloodwork, I want to make sure that his allergy medication (Rx antihistamines for environmental allergies--Allegra) won't affect his results. Does anyone know? I'm going to try to get the testing through our pediatrician, and I'm not sure how knowledgable he is about celiac. TIA!
