    One more question- if she has been gluten free, should her TtG-IgA be 0? I'm having trouble understanding the results.

    Yes, Ma'am. I figured they would be negative or even inconclusive- but the lab didn't give them ranges. I was trying to see on the spectrum she would fall. We went gluten free on November 1, 2012 due to symptoms. I didn't know anything about Celiac Disease, so I didn't think about testing before. We went gluten free without speaking to a doctor. Is...

    Yes, he was ordered by our pediatrician's office to run the full panel because we ended up in the ER due to trying to do a gluten trial in order to test. Seriously, he was ridiculous. But that is another story for another day. Our pediatrician is referring us to a great GI, so we are going to have them run there. Our pediatrician said that she isn't very...

    Yes, I am an attorney so when I got their response I knew exactly why they were saying that. I didn't know if I was running into a company that I need to avoid or if it is pretty industry standard. Thank you!

    I called my pediatrician to get the type of tests that the inept ER ran on Friday, and they only did the IgA and not a full panel. When they call back I am going to get the results- it is my understanding that under 19 is negative? Also, I planned on asking for a total serum IgA, DGP-IgG, ELISA, and possibly and EMA depending on the results of the IgA...

    My pediatrician prescribed antibiotics for my daughter, but when I went to fill the prescription we couldn't find any allergy information on the packaging or package insert. When we called the company, all they would say is that "to the best of their knowledge their azithromiacyn is gluten free" and that none of the ingredients are "derived from gluten/wheat...

    The DH is not hives- they are blisters. I've had hives before, and these definitely are not that. Well, some are telling me it sounds just like Celiac, others tell me it is just like an allergy. So far, the medical professionals aren't sure.

    I requested a specific pediatric allergist. We haven't been to the allergist yet, so I guess it will depend if the rashes are still there when we go. I will definitely ask! Thank you!

    She still has a fever today, and is sooooo irritable! Her rash is still sore, but it is getting a little better. We went to the pediatrician and the Celiac tests were negative- but like previous posters said, the doctor said it doesn't really mean anything. She gave us a referral to an allergist and one for a gastroenterologist. I don't think we are going...

    Also, is this a correct "quote" correct: Celiac disease (also spelled “coeliac”) is an immune reaction, a severe sudden onset allergic reaction, to the protein called gluten. Gluten intolerance often has a slower onset than celiac disease, and may be hard to diagnose due to the broad range of symptoms and causes. Is Celiac Disease an allergy? an...

    Ok, I realize my original didn't go into enough detail, I'm going to lay out the history. Under 12months old DD would throw up violently for an hour and a half after ingesting any grains. When she was about 14-15 months, I introduced oatmeal again, and eventually a diet with no restrictions. But, suddenly she had horrible eczema. We went gluten free...

    Well, we introduced gluten last night and it didn't go well. We ended up in the ER. After a fight, they drew the blood to do the celiac tests. We won't be doing a gluten trial again.....

    My 2 1/2 yo little girl has a gluten allergy. We went gluten free (not contamination strict) with her November 2012 because of her terrible eczema, and it cleared w/no bad recurrences since. In looking up dermatitis hepitiformis, I'm realizing this is what we have passed off as "diaper rash." Then I stumbled on pictures of toddlers w/distended bellies...
