Some celiacs are chronically constipated, others are just have  “normal” bowel movement and others have diarrhea.   If I recall, your child had a positive on the DGP IgA (exactly how I tested).   Are they going to retest?

Agree with Cycling Lady. My friend's daughter with Celiac is chronically constipated and takes Miralax daily. My daughter was diagnosed 9 weeks ago. She initially had diarrhea 5-6 times a day. Now that she is gluten free, she has 1-3 formed BM's a day. 

One thing I've really learned is the symptoms vary so very much from person to person.

good memory! I do bring my daughter to consult celiac doctor at university of Chicago ,we may repeat one more time of celiac panel to decide do scope or not,doctor also told me only gliandian Iga positive it’s usually not what they look, so I’m postpone scope for now, thanks for your reply , wish you good health and I wish  my daughter will not have truly celiac .

I hope it works out for you.  No one wants a sick child.  My heart goes out to her.  

Again, I have NEVER had a positive in the TTG or EMA tests.  I have had the test run at least four times in either  a follow-up visit or after a severe glutening.  Only my DGP IgA is ever elevated.  I have researched like crazy.  I know everyone thinks the TTG is the best, but the reality is not everyone is the same and there is no “one size fits all” approach when diagnosing celiac disease.  

Because your daughter has tested out this way, consider getting the biopsies if her DGP IgA is still elevated.  If my initial GI had not ordered the entire panel, my diagnosis would have been missed.  As it stands, I had anemia, still have Osteoporosis, and another autoimmune issue that will never resolve.  Please keep this in mind as she ages. 

I wish you the best!

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      I suggest you look at your calorie intake. If you're not eating enough calories, your body will signal you to wake up and forage for more food. You need to be eating more calories than a healthy person of normal weight in order to gain weight. Also, your diet is extremely low in fat unless you are eating chicken thighs with the skin on, which I would recommend...

      False blood test positive?

      Since your mother has celiac disease, I would still keep an eye on this as there is a genetic component. Study results vary wildly, but the numbers are that anywhere from 10% to almost 50% of the first degree relatives of those with active celiac disease will themselves develop celiac disease.

      False blood test positive?

      Your initial test showed a moderately raised level of IgA tTG2. There are several causes of this apart from coeliac disease including: inflammation of the joints, bowel and liver. Transient rise in levels can be caused by an infection.

      Rogol72, your recommendation to the OP to "show them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis" confuses me as the OP does not mention having dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hi @sillyyak52, I empathize with you. I would suggest showing them pictures of "dermatitis herpetiformis" which is a complication of undiagnosed/untreated Coeliac Disease. You can find them on Google images. It's pretty alarming to see and it may be the wake up call they need to visually understand what gluten can really do to the body. In this case...

You need to be eating more calories than a healthy person of normal weight in order to gain weight. Also, your diet is extremely low in fat unless you are eating chicken thighs with the skin on, which I would recommend. Also be sure to add butter (real butter) to your vegetables. You can measure and record everything you eat, then look up and calculate what your protein/carb/fat intake is. Or just eat more chicken rather than filling up on vegetables and fruit.

You can find them on Google images. It's pretty alarming to see and it may be the wake up call they need to visually understand what gluten can really do to the body. In this case the skin ... The Coeliac rash that won't go away without a strict gluten free diet and Dapsone treatment (a toxic antibiotic). I'd also look at @glutenhatesmyguts on youtube  ... a funny educational take on Coeliac Disease ... the clips titled as follows may help ... "Celiac Disease Explained | Why Gluten REALLY Hates My Guts!" and "Story time: I almost ..." This person is on Tiktok also and has a category "Coeliac & gluten-free Info ". There's plenty of Coeliacs on Tiktok and IG posting frequently and advocating for themselves about the need to be strict and what happens when they get glutened.    Celiac Canada also has good resources on YT, both long and short educational clips  ... @CCACeliac . Do you know any Coeliacs in your area who could help you explain the need to be so strict? Some Coeliacs have mild symptoms while others have awful reactions to just a few crumbs. Or maybe the nurse could put you in contact with some other Coeliacs or a support group to help you with your family. Hope this helps you. And keep advocating for yourself no matter what.
