Just to give an update :- The Gluten test run by the Gastro came back negative, very negative, so the Dr. felt we could rule out Gluten. The follow up u/s, after finishing the antibiotics, showed that 60% of the inflammation had cleared. Daughter looked and felt very well, we started her on probiotics. Then slowly the symptoms began to...

Thank you for the response Clara. We had the Gastroenterologist appointment on Wednesday, and she said the same as you, that the Paeditrician failed to run one of the tests, I think it was the IGg, so she would not rule out celiac based on the results of those tests. She did an ultrasound of my daughters intestine and said she could see severe inflammation...

Thank you very much for your reply and your explanation of the tests, it is all so confusing. Am seeing the gastro tomorrow and will request the lactose intolerance test, similar symptoms.

I posted this and another question on the Pre-diagnois forum before I realised there was a forum specifically for children, hope it's okay to re-post here. Apologies for all the questions. These are the tests the Doctor ran to rule out Coeliac Dissease for my 7yo, would these not be considered definitive? I don't even understand the results of these...

Thank you SMRI, I just googled it and it is the first time I have ever read about the GI implications of CF. I do believe she was screened for CF, she was born premature in Belgium with some lung issues and spent several weeks in NICU, but I didn't realise it might not show up at birth.

Apologies for all the questions. These are the tests the Doctor ran to rule out Coeliac Dissease for my 7yo, would these not be considered definitive? I don't even understand the results of these ones, if anyone could explain them to me, I would greatly appreciate it. Are there other tests which could provide more information or which are more...

These are the tests which the doctor did back in April 2014 oeliac Screen :- Endomysial Antibodies - Negative Tissue Transglutaminase - 0.10 u/ml (ref range 0.0 -10.0) Immunoglobulin A - 1.35 g/L ( ref range 0.34 - 3.05)

Cystic Fibrosis? isn't that a genetic lung disease, I believe all kids are tested for that at birth, so I am assuming that is not anything we need to worry about. I really do believe something is going on in her intestines, I have booked an appointment with a gastroenterologist but there are no paediatric ones in our area, unfortunately.

Thank you for your response. She has had a fasting glucose test and it was normal, the thirst is a very recent thing. All the other symptoms are ongoing for 18 months now. These are the blood tests which were done by her paediatrician, Coeliac Screen :- Endomysial Antibodies - Negative Tissue Transglutaminase - 0.10 u/ml (ref range ...

HI, I am new here and searching for answers. My now 7 year old has been having bad digestive issues for the past 18 months. Over that time the Paeditrician has done a lactose intolerance test which was negative and a few months later a coeliac blood test, also negative. He also did a stool sample, which was normal. Along with other blood tests for...
