Thanks so much for your help guys. It confirms what I have been saying all along. I am going to go get some pediasure today. I dont think she will drink it but it is worth a try I guess. Is the vanilla flavor gluten free? I thought I read somewhere it wasnt. I was thinking that may be the one she would actually drink...she is so adamant when she doesnt want...

Thanks guys for your responses. Well we have had an interesting turn of events over the weekend. It turns out the IGg and IGa were extremely high (almost triple the maximum normal numbers) but the EMA (most specific for celiac) was negative. I had not been aware of this. So maybe we have her gluten-free for no reason. She has lost 8 oz. since being gluten...

Exactly what were they testing for? Did they do IGg and IGa, and EMA? If so those numbers are pretty low for being celiac. That is what my daughter had done and her numbers were 131, 133, and negative. Thats the normal celiac panel as far as I know. Did your doctor mention doing an endoscopy?

She wont drink soy formula...we just tried yesterday. She is very particular about her bottles and sometimes we have to sneak it in in her sleep. It is either that or she doesnt...

Hello. Thanks so much for replying, I really didnt think anyone was going to. Anyway, Eliana had blood work done-she had the IGg which was 131, the IGa which was 133 and the EMA came back negative. The doctor who ordered the tests wants to do the sweat test for cystic fibrosis, talk about scary. I am dreading having to do the biopsy. I pretty much am scared...

Hello, my name is Becca. I have a little girl, 15 months old who has had trouble since she was about 4 mos old with weight gain. Now at 15 months, she weighs 18 pounds, 1 ounce and is 30 inches tall. She is generally happy but looks so little and frail. Two weeks ago we got results back from bloodwork and she was positive. We met with the GI and he suggested...
