ARCHIVED Endoscope On Thursday
jomakamcki posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi everyone. So after 2 months of doctor visits, we are having our daughter scoped on Thursday. I'm still not convinced it will show celiac, but hopefully it will show something so we know whats going on. I've read so many different "symptoms" in children, and she only has a couple of them, so we will see! The GI is thinking celiacs because of low IgA... -
ARCHIVED Tmi Stool Question
jomakamcki replied to jomakamcki's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
No, they are only doing the endoscope. Her tender points (when he presses on her) are all upper quadrant. The GI called yesterday and said she does have elevated split fats in her stool. I have no idea what that is though. He said the scope was not "essential", but with her various, slighlty off, lab/stool tests he feels it would be "beneficial", especially... -
I posted about a month ago about my 4 year old with possible celiacs. All of her bloodwork for celiac was negative, but her IgA level was a little low (she was 53, the lab said normal was 61-345). Also her ESR, sedimentation rate, was slightly elevated (her's was 12, the lab said normal was 0-9). Her tTG was also normal (her's was 2, the lab said normal...

ARCHIVED Low Iga, Possible Celiacs In 4 Year Old?
jomakamcki replied to jomakamcki's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs

She is very active, but she is definitely extremely moody. I've always said she went from "terrible twos" to "treacherous threes". Now that she is 4 (turned 4 in May) I was hoping to... -
ARCHIVED Low Iga, Possible Celiacs In 4 Year Old?
jomakamcki replied to jomakamcki's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thank you for your reply. In my original post I included the ranges I was given at my doctors office. The only one that was under the normal range was my daughters serum IgA, the others were just on the very low end of normal. I'm not sure if any other tests specific to Celiacs were done or not, those are the only numbers the GI gave me in regards to the... -
ARCHIVED Low Iga, Possible Celiacs In 4 Year Old?
jomakamcki posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hello All! I am new here, just found this site today. I'm hoping the parents here with Celiac experience might be able to help me a little. I took my 4 year old daughter to the doctor because of constant stomach pains, random vomiting (no one else in the house gets sick) and diarrhea. This has been going on and off since she was about one, but has drastically...
