My 9 year old daughter has been blood tested twice for Celiacs. The first time: Anti-Gliadin IGA - 7 normal Anti-Gliadin IGG - 12 normal TT IGA - >100 Strong Positive Reticulan IGA AB - Negative Comprehensive Metabolic - normal except for high Bun Creatinie Ratio and high Albumin Retested 1 week later - still on gluten: Anti-Gliadin IGA...

I've posted on this board a few times. My 9 year old daughter has been battling some pretty bad anxiety for the past few months. In addition to therapy and a modified school schedule her Ped decided to run blood tests to check for a physical condition. Everything was normal except the Ttg was over 100.

It was my understanding that the endoscopy would only show damage, my thought is at 9 years old perhaps there won't be much damage and the test won't show anything. Are they able to tell more from the scope than I thought?

My 9 year old daughter has been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder. She has been very anxious and was having a very difficult time at school.

Has anyone...
