I'm just starting to change my house over to gluten free... I have pure vanilla in my house that has alcohol in it? Is that gluten free? It doesn't say wheat, etc but obviously alcohol is made from grain. Do we need to avoid all things with alcohol in them? Help? LilDebMom

No one has any thoughts... perhaps it is an allergy symptom rather than Celiac/gluten if no one has experienced the ear & throat itching.. hmmm I guess I need to be patient and wait for results.

My 9 year old son had a slightly positive celiac blood panel and this week had an endoscopy. We won't have the results of the endoscopy biopsies for several weeks and apparently there was not any visible Celiac damage that the dr saw. She did see excessive stomach acid and prescribed him a medication for that. He has had reflux, stomach cramps and pains...

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have a print out of the results and was a little overwhelmed when I received the call from the dr. I believe the dr said with both the Iga and Igg levels anyting less than 11 was negative...so he did test positive for both Iga (12) and Igg (30) but I don't know how high the scale goes.. The other two factors...

My 9 year son was recently tested for Celiac Disease and has now been referred to a GI specialist. I was hoping someone could help me interpret the results. Iga = 12 Igg = 30 and apparently ttg and the 4th factor were normal (don't know the numbers). His pedi would not confirm or deny if these blood results mean celiac disease and I'm a bit confused...
