ARCHIVED Son's Labs - What Does Hladq2 & Hladq8 Mean?
TCA replied to btm's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
How old is your son? does he have symptoms? My son's bloodwork was inconclusive, but he was very symptomatic. He's also DQ2 & 8 positive. He was diagnosed because of positive dietary response. Testing on kids under 5 can be inconclusive. -
Thanks for posting this! I wanted to let you know I called Neocate today and asked about sulfite content. they said they'd have to call me back, so I'll let you know what I learn. As for Megan's meds. I don't know what I can do about prevacid right now, but I'm trying to figure it out, but her Reglan is liquid and is corn free. The sorbitol issues is...

I'm on the opposite end of town near Lacey's Spring. We use Pediatric Gatroenterology in Hville. Dr. Laney is our Dr., but the other is good from what I've heard. I use Dr. Gardepe sp?) for a dermatologist. I've only been once, but she seemed great on the first visit. I think I have DH too. There is a GIG that meets here too. I'll get the info for...

I have the same thing on my right hand. If I get glutened, it breaks out in blisters, but otherwise it's just kinda dry. Dermatologist thinks it's DH, but couldn't biopsy because of location. It itches like CRAZY when I get glutened.

Just wanted to let you know that gummy vites are gluten-free! -
Welcome! I hope you feel better soon! It's probably best to start off with unprocessed fruits,veggies, and lean meats for weight Watchers. Anyway, here is a thread I started a while back that might be helpful Open Original Shared Link

WOW! Thanks Rhonda for the info. Welcome to the board and thank you soooo much for responding. I'm trying to get the @#$@#$#@$ printer to work here at at the hospital to print this off to show the drs. It's a lot to absorb in one reading! I sooo appreciate you taking the time, though. so many things I thought were good are actually possibly hurting... -

Just wanted to let you all know that we're back at Vandy. They want to observe Meg to see what may be going on. She's hooked up to everything now and not happy about it. so far she hasn't had any spells, so we'll see how long they want to observe her. Surgery may be iminent, but we don't know yet. They're doing lots of tests. Her surgeon is out of town... -

TCA replied to tnmomof3's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Your description of your daughter could very well be me as a child. It's almost scary! I was diagnosed as having joint hypermobility symdrome and was told the pains were just growing pains, but I wass still having them at 29. I went gluten-free while nursing my celiac daughter and feel better than I ever have in my life. I never thought I could have it... -

TCA replied to TCA's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Well, I called the local cardiologist this morning and have a 10:00. I don't really like him, but he's the only one in town, so trying to work with him. Hopefully he'll have some answers as to why Meg is feeling so bad. She had another bad night and feels bad this morning. I'll let you all know what he says.... -

Bravo to you for being so proactive. My 3 y/o kept having symptoms that keppt bringing us back to celiac too. He had major D, tooth problems, FTT, mouth sores, etc. After inconclusive bloodwork and 2 negative biopsies, we did a diet trial and the difference is amazing. If you do want to go ahead and do bloodwork it is no problem. If you have a good dr... -

Thanks everyone for the support and prayers. I'm now glad they're moving it up too. Let's just get it over with since we know we have to do it anyway and I hope and pray it makes all the difference in the world in her health.

Not at all. I just don't want you guys to get tired of hearing from me!!! Meg didn't have a great night with the choking. She had 2 spells where she started turning blue, but her color came back right as I was about to take her to the ER. I'm calling the cardiologist tomorrow to talk about all of this. She's sleeping a lot more and very lethargic. She... -

I appreciate you wanting to hear. I should have posted that I was going out of town for a couple days. My husband's grandparents are still relatively healthy, but have a hard time getting around. He wanted me to take her down to see them before surgery. They just love her so much. it's about 3.5 hrs. away so we got dr. permission first. I'm glad they... -

ARCHIVED I Need Documentation Of Possible Symptoms
TCA replied to sillyactsue's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I don'thave documentation, but my son has had the same symptoms and was allergic to milk too. His speech and walking were delayed, but he's very intelligent. We're probably going to have to start speech therapy soon. Are you gluten and casien free while nursing? I'm nursing my daughter now and have to avoid both of these and eggs for her. -
