    I don't know if they did a total IGA. All the paperwork said was "Endomysial Antibody IgA and t-Transglutaminase ( tTG) IgA" that was it.

    I went out today and bought some gluten-free stuff: chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, snack type stuff. It's expensive, that's for sure! Is cornmeal fine for coating chicken? I bought lots of frozen chicken and decided I would coat them with cornmeal or Bisquick Gluten-Free coating. I went in and got the blood results so I could see them and the dr only...

    Thanks for replying, Macie. I am not even sure where to start with eliminating gluten. It seems it's hidden in many things. And right now my 4 year olds favorite food is breaded chicken nuggets. I'm going to be doing some massive research and start the gluten-diet. It certainly couldn't hurt anything. I'm a bit annoyed the pediatrician won't refer me...

    The doctor called today and said that the results for my 4.5 year old were normal and he tested negative for celiac disease. The dr. wants me to keep him on the appetite stimulant and see how much he weighs at his 5 year appt. I am not sure how I feel about this. I guess I was kind of hoping he'd test positive because then that would explain why he has...

    Maiko- Thanks for replying. Out of curiosity, what branch is your husband in? Mine is Air Force. What were your children's symptoms that made you ask to get them tested? Were they all having symptoms or just your 3 year old? Your 3 year old sounds like my 4 year old. He was never diagnosed as having IUGR. He was born at 38 weeks and was 6lbs 5oz...

    Well, his doctor gave me a referral to an ENT for my son's sleep issues. He said it sounds like sleep apnea and may need to have his adenoids and tonsils taken out. They took blood at the appt and are going to do a Celiac panel on it. At this point, I just want answers to why my son complains about his stomach hurting and doesn't want to eat a larger quantity...

    Thank you, Dixiebell. We have his check up this afternoon and I'll be bringing up allergy testing for the 3rd time with his pediatrician. If he says no, guess I'll be looking for a new one which might take a month before my son is seen again. My husband is military so we have to change PCM's. Have it approved, etc. Would we need a referral to an allergist...

    I looked at his past blood results from when he was 10 months old. That's the only time they did a blood test on him. They tested a bunch of stuff like thyroid, CBC, complete metabolic. Everything was normal was what I was told but I looked last night and his Alk Phos was high and some other things like Crea were either high or low. Can't remember what...

    Hi! We've been dealing with weight and eating issues with my son his whole life. He had pyloric stenosis as a baby that was misdiagnosed as reflux. By the time the dr's figured it out, he was already 2 months old and hadn't gained any weight since birth. After the surgery, he still gained incredibly slowly. Showed no interest in eating whatsoever. I...
