I talked to the doc yesterday, and he is referring us to an endoscopy. I asked for a gastro?scopy too (the endoscopy is just the colon, and the gastro?scopy is in the small intestine where evidence of celiacs would be) , but he wasn't very willing to do that. He promised to talk to the doctor who is performing the scopies, and in the meantime he wanted us...

Thank you so much for answers. I'm going to call the pediatrician on wednesday, and I will insist on a biopsy. If he won't give us one I will ask for a referral to a nutritionist, together with her we will start a dairy and/or gluten free diet. I keep telling myself that diarrhea isn't normal, that we need to find out what is causing this. Right now...

She has not had a biopsy done yet, and the doctor didn't seem to be very willing to refer us to one since all the celiac bloodtests are negative. I don't want to try gluten free until I know whehter she will have a biopsy or not. She has had a good week with very little stomachache, only in the evenings and it hasn't been very painful. The fooddiary gives...

We have a almost 9-year old daughter who has struggled with her stomach since she was 6 months old and we started giving her food besides breastmilk. Since then we have been to several doctors, tested for every food allergy there is (both in blood and on her arms), tests for lactose intolerance are negative (genetic, in blood and we also did a breathing...

We have already done the genetic test, and it came back negative for both of the genes that "everyone" with celiac has. I was told that the chance of her having celiac disease without these genetic markers is less than 1%. I will not give up, and I will go as far as to demand a scopy (gastro and colon). The blood comes from somewhere. The doctor says...

Thank you for answering. I have talked to our doctor today, and we decided that I call him on wednesday. Our girl is having an x-ray with contrast on tuesday, and the pictures will be ready wednesday morning. I would still like to have a biopsy done, because of the blood in her stool still happening from time to time. The blood has to come from somewhere...

I'm norwegian, so please excuse my poor english. My almost 9 year old daughter have classic celiac disease symptoms: diarrhoea, a lot of gas, low iron in blood and the latest symptom blood in her stool. The problem is that the bloodtests on celiac disease is perfectly normal, we have even done the genetest and it came back negative, almost zero possibility...
