A week after my 2yo went gluten-free he snatched an animal cracker from another child at Sunday school. The teacher noticed and had him spit out what was left in his mouth. He ate about half of one animal cracker (that she saw, I'm not sure if he ate another before she noticed. He says no, but he's 2 so I'm not sure). Anyway, he threw up twice that day...

The 4yo has puffy eyes with gluten, trouble sleeping and irritability. The 2yo is significantly smaller than his siblings and has insatiable hunger. He literally doesn't stop eating when he's awake. They both have enormous poops, gas and "random" stomach, joint and muscle pain. And just in case this means anything: my 8yo had normal blood work, but...

I guess some background would have been good! I have Celiac. They are 2 and 4. The 2yo had equivocal blood work, the 4yo had normal blood work. When the ped suggested a fecal fat on the 2yo before jumping into endoscopy I asked to have it done on the 4yo too. The results above are child 1: my 4yo, child 2: my 2yo.

Does anyone have experience with this? My pediatrician isn't quite sure how to interpret these results from my sons' fecal fats tests and our GI appointment isn't for another month. CHILD 1- neutral: small droplets 5-20 (normal range < 20) medium droplets 5-20 (normal range <20) large 5-20 (normal range 0) split: small droplets ...

Is popcorn allowed in class? Air popped popcorn with coconut oil and nutritional yeast sprinkled on it is super yummy, nutritious and tastes cheesy for some reason. Of course, this assumes she can tolerate corn.

Hi All. I am very new here, and have posted only a couple of times. I was diagnosed with celiac disease last month, so I'm still learning. I have 4 children and we're in the process of having them all tested. The results from my 2 year old's blood work came back positive for celiac disease. We sent in a stool sample for a fecal fat test to look for...

I live in San Diego. I am new to this, but I am not finding it hard at all to find gluten-free products in stores or gluten-free restaurants. I think SoCal is an excellent place to live with any kind of food restrictions. In general, people here are very health conscious and there are LOTS of resources for fresh foods of all kinds.

Do you feel like wearing medical alert jewelry is necessary for a Celiac? What about for children who may be fed at school/church/playdates, etc?

Here are my lab results: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 2 Range 0-19 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 3, Range 0-19 Endomysial Antibody IgA Negative Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 118 Range 70-400 t-Transglut tTG IgA <2 Range 0-3 t-Transglu tTG IgG 8 Range 0-5 HIGH WBC 3.9 Range 4.0-10.5 LOW Is the tTG IgG enough to give me a diagnosis assuming I don...

Hi All. I was diagnosed with Celiac last week. In an effort to determine if my children also have Celiac I asked our pediatrician to order blood work for all 4 of them. I have an 8yo, 4yo, 2yo, and 7 month old. He explained that the tests for the 8yo and 4yo should be "pretty accurate", that the 2yo's tests will most likely be inconclusive and that the...

Thank you. Here are my full results. Vit D and TSH were normal. WBC 3.9 Range 4.0-10.5 Deamidated Gliadin , IgA 2 Range 0-19 Deamidated Gliadin IgG 3 Range 0-19 Endomysial Antibody IgA Negative Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 118 Range 70-400 tTG, IgA <2 Range 0-3 tTG, IgG 8 Range 0-5

Thank you for responding! I requested all my lab work to be mailed...I got copies in the mail today of all the tests she ran EXCEPT the Celiac panel. Arg. Anyway, I asked her twice to tell me what it said. All I know is that there were 6 antibodies tested and the only one that was positive read tTg- iGg. She said it was an 8 and was on the high end of...

Hi All, I am new here, so I am just starting out on learning about Celiac. I was given a positive blood test result over the phone from my Dr yesterday. I am waiting on a referral to a gastroenterologist. Here's my question: Can you help me think through the pros and cons of going through with the biopsy? Part of me thinks that a lifetime of symptoms...
