    Ah! I had a long post with more info but it seemed to disappear (all my posts need mod approval since I'm new so maybe that's why). My grandmother has always said she has celiac disease but I don't think she was ever actually dx'd. My grandmother, my brother and I have all dealt with GI troubles (cramping, diarrhea), snoring/apnea, fatigue and depression...

    Thanks squirmingitch. That's what I thought. I'll take him in to the doctor anyway, just to see what he says, but I won't push for a biopsy. I appreciate your thoughts!

    Here's some more info. My son has not been diagnosed with celiac - he has allergies (dogs and cats and hay fever to a lesser extent) and has struggled with reflux since he was a baby. I believe either celiac or ncgs is in our family. My grandmother has always said she had celiac disease though I don't think she was officially dx'd. My grandmother, my brother...

    Hello all. I know that you aren't able to diagnose my son but I would love to hear your thoughts. My 6 year old son has a rash on both of his elbows (one side is worse than the other) and I want to be armed with as much info as possible before we go see the doctor. Do you think it's possible that this is DH? He says it's itchy sometimes but not all the time...

    Thanks - that's good advice. If I'm going to go through the hassle of a colonoscopy I may as well have the endoscopy done too! Thankfully my doctor is usually willing to work with me on things so I'm sure he'd agree I'm actually in Alberta, Canada so Labcorp is not a possibility. I went in to the lab today (our lab is Dynalife) and they actually phoned...

    So my doctor sent me for all the tests that were suggested here - wonderful that he was so willing to check it all out! There was a problem at the lab though when I went to get blood drawn. They said that the DGP tests didn't come up in the system so they couldn't run those. How important are these tests in diagnosing? Thanks so much!

    Thanks so much for your reply! Yeah, my doctor says that since I am clearly not celiac, a colonoscopy is the next test to figure out the cause of the chronic diarrhea. I will definitely ask for the complete panel you posted - I still have a feeling that gluten may be the issue and I'd rather run a few more blood tests before I get a (probably pointless) colonoscopy...

    Hi all. I am new to this forum but am really excited to glean your knowledge! My doctor recently sent me for blood tests for celiac (chronic diarrhea since childhood, fatigue, depression, iron-deficiency anemia) and he says the results are negative. I was wondering if I could get your opinions as to what these results actually mean before I decide what to...
