Gemini- I am SO sorry to hear about your brother!! Thank you so so much for sharing that story and the article. In the article it lists diabetes often being triggered by an entervirus--which is what happened to me at 7 years old. I couldn't help but question the fact that I am still sick with bouts of diarrhea and gas after the rotavirus (the article...

Diarrhea is on and off. I just went 2 days without any diarrhea and then woke up this morning and had to use the bathroom 5 times! It's interesting your sister has diabetes AND celiac. I'm glad you got tested too

When do you get your results? My appointment is not until September 24. I am also having "sulfur" or "egg" burps. Very gross smelling burps! It is embarrassing to say the least I am having reflux as well-- none of these things is normal for me. Do you happen to be diabetic as well? Please let me know your results!

Well, I'm definitely calling my doctor Monday. I had 3 days of pea sized bowel movements and early this morning the full fledged diarrhea returned. Awful!

That's true. It would seem like a more likely explanation.

So I have held my young daughter's hand through severe stomach pain/bloating/vomiting and she has been diagnosed as: gluten intolerant with moderate risk for developing celiac and milk protein allergy. She is gluten free and doing GREAT! I am type 1 diabetic and have had no stomach problems to speak of. In the past year I seemed to have An increase in...

She was also diagnosed with milk protein allergy-- although I've wondered if it was a true allergy... Anyways, her biopsies were negative. Her bloodwork was very negative. They tested gliadin IGG & IGA, TTG IGA & IGG. And her IGA was at the bottom of the range. She was 21, range was 20-100. I am a type 1 diabetic and do not have celiac disease...

Does anyone know the likelihood of a young child (almost 2) developing celiac (or possibly already have it but undiagnosed) if they have been diagnosed with gluten intolerance and carry DQ2 and DQ8?

I looked up HLA-- i believe that is the genetic testing? We have not done that...does insurance cover genetic tests?

No- no HLA was tested. Forgive me, but I am not sure what HLA is or why it is tested?

She was measured by the pediatrician and at the GI office just before her scope and they were the same measurement...I am very picky and careful to make sure she is laying straight when they measure her. So I do feel that her measurements have been accurate and yes she has grown that much since going gluten free. GI symptoms are MUCH better!! No more...

My daughter (18 months) had her check up today and she incredibly grew an inch and half in less than a month! The nurse measured her twice just to make sure that was correct lol. She had dropped down to the 25th percentile and she just jumped up to the 75th percentile for height again. She went gluten free the day of her scope (which was April 2nd) and she...

Yes, here is the report. It had a diagram that coincided with the numbers. 3- the gastric antrum is in the stomach area and 4. the distal esophagus was the middle to lower esophagus. 1. Secondary Portion duodenum: neg for evidence of celiac sprue or infectious organisms 2. Duodenal bulb: neg for evidence of celiac sprue or infectious organisms 3. Gastric...

They did the scope and reported eosinophils in her stomach (but not in her esophagus--i posted her biopsy report earlier). They mentioned trying a "patch test" for a delayed allergic reaction. But she was so impressively negative (I mean her skin didn't react at all!) and the allergist told me that the patch testing would just be another shot in the dark...

Brit1612- Yes I got your message! Thank you! Hectic weekend so I haven't logged in until now. I'm not exactly sure where to go from here...we went to the allergist and my daughter had almost NO reaction to anything. According to the tests, she has no food allergies at all! So far she tested NOT lactose intolerant and NOT allergic to milk, and yet...
