ARCHIVED Reference Ranges
alexx6520 replied to alexx6520's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Eosinophils cirrculating in the blood are not always elevated in eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease. Both of my children have normal lab work. My youngest son presented with chest pain, vomiting, and reflux like symptoms. Biopsies of his esophagus and some other areas showed the eosinophils in the tissue. I do not know if there is a link but the report... -
ARCHIVED Reference Ranges

Why are the reference ranges different for different labs? My son has very infrequent bowel movements (but he's not constipated and does not experience stomach pain; just gets distended and IRRITABLE!). He eats a very healthy diet, lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, and water. I would like to rip the pediatrician's head off for always telling me all kids... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms And Negative Tests

According to Quest anything under 20 is negative but I've seen other stuff online that says 7-10 is suspicious. I dont know enough about it to even know if it's the same test. I also don't know if age is a factor. Who tests the rashes? Dermatologist, Gi, Allergist? -

He has eczema, but he also gets sores on his face and neck that look blistery and are terribly itchy. He's had 3 or 4 of these... -

do you have the reference ranges? -
I'll try to keep this short but informative. I have two boys, our youngest (3) has eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease and lots of food allergies. His symptoms at diagnoses were almost all opposite our 4 1/2 year old. My oldest has been constipated since he was several months old although he never has hard bm's he just doesn't go often. He gets...
