I will post the pictures of her skin rash in another post. Her poop always looks like this, her belly always hurts. Im just trying to find answers. Waiting on another round of blood work to come back for her.

There are over 300 symptoms of celiac disease.  Best bet is to get a celiac blood panel.   Your child must be consuming gluten daily 8 to 12 weeks prior to the blood draw in order for the tests to be accurate.   If the rash is DH it needs to be biopsied.  Read our DH section as DH is tricky to diagnose.

      I’m so confused…

      Be sure to bring this up with your doctor, as there is always the possibility that you've got other issues besides celiac disease.

      Thank you - I am fighting the good fight. I feel like when I see improvement then I go back downhill again.  What I do know is if I can’t get past this fatigue and loss of appetite I’m heading for problems.

      Sprouts packaged roasted, salted nuts - says "made in a facility that processes wheat" - has anyone had a problem?

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      I never buy any nuts from a facility that processes wheat.  It’s not worth the risk.  Surprisingly, Trader Joe’s nuts do not come a factory that processes wheat, and I do not react to them.  I am sensitive to gluten.

      Test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet. If you symptoms go away on the diet it is further confirmation that you may have celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process. You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.
