Thanks Lisa! I will not be pursuing any more testing at this time. I would like to get to the bottom of things, but the poor thing has been through a lot the past few months with doctors and tests. She's had an MRI, overnight EEG, elimination diet, lab work, and has seen a neurologist, allergist, ophthalmologist, orthopedic surgeon. She's starting to have...

Thank you for the replies. My daughter's labs came back negative. Unfortunately they did not run all the tests Lisa recommended above. Here's what was done: IgA Anti Gliadin (Deamidated) = 1.5 IgG Anti Gliadin (Deamidated) = 1.3 IgA TTG = 1.7 Are these sufficient tests for me to be confident she is negative for Celiac? Thanks!

Thanks Lisa! The order I have for the labs just says "celiac panel". Is this going to include everything you listed? The children's hospital will be doing the labs for us while she is in there for an MRI. The order was sent to me from her allergist.

We were told to go back on it for at least 5 weeks for the testing. We have 1 week left and it's getting to the point where I can hardly stand it because of her behavior...

nvsmom - thanks for the input. I'll be sure to watch her blood pressure readings at her upcoming appointments. Her eyes have been thoroughly checked. Yesterday, my daughter chipped her tooth while eating...further adding to my stress and suspicions!! She also has poorly shaped teeth, that look yellow compared to my other 2 kids. I found out something...

Thank you for the replies! As far as the vision issues, there is actually a type of epilepsy that can cause these symptoms, which just so happens to be linked to celiac disease in some cases. The celiac disease causes calcifications on the brain and causes the seizures. That's why I was a little surprised that the neurologist wasn't concerned with celiac...

My 10 year old daughter has been having a number health concerns. After some allergy testing revealed several possible food allergies, we did an elimination diet to see what she would react to. We discovered that almost all of her symptoms went away on the diet. YAY! We slowly brought everything back in and determined that gluten was the culprit so I took...
