Can't decipher results

I have a 5 year old who has had on and off again loose stool his whole life.  He sometimes complains of stomach cramps and when he has to go to the bathroom he has to go fast.  Sometimes the stool is formed but most of the time it's watery and fibery. He's currently being tested for (I don't know what but assume Celiac or Crohn's) and I've received some of the results.  The stool sample isn't back yet.  Anything you all could tell me?  I know you're not doctors but I also know how well versed most of you must be on this stuff.  Thanks in advance. 

Gliadin Deamidated IgA  <10U  negative

Gliadin Deamidated IgG <10 negative

IgG 1070 mg/dL  range is 504-1465

IgA <6 mg/dL range is 27-195

IgM 88mg/dL range is 24-210

IgE 114 IU/mL range is 0-90

transglutaminase IgA <20 Units which was in range and says negative

in his complete bloodcount nothing was out of range

In his metabolic panel nothing was out of range

His ESR was 34 and they gave no range

C-Reactive protein was in range

TSH in range

His manual differential panel says

band neturohphil 0% range is 5-11

Segmented Netrophils 67% range is 32-54

Lymphocytes 27% range is 28-48

all else normal

Any insight you can give would be appreciated.  My thoughts are going in a lot of different directions.  Is it Crohn's? Celiac?  Something I haven't thought of?

Lactose intolerant?  FODMAP issue?

Never diagnosed but never tested. His allergist didn’t think lactose intolerance because he wasn’t throwing up. We ended up in our own going to a GI specialist at A Children’s Hospital.

Odd.  No one I know that is lactose or FODMAP intolerant vomits.  

If you are going to a specialist, than ask him?  Find out what your kid is being tested for.  Ask questions until you understand it or take someone with you who can listen for you and help you understand later.

That Immunoglobulin A (IgA) result?  Is that a “6” or “less than 6”?   He had all lots of Immunoglobulin tests, but one one type of celiac disease testing (DGP).  You could ask for the rest of the celiac panel (EMA and TTG).  Keep in mind that some people are seronegative.

It’s “less than 6”

      Hi guys. Apologies for the late reply. Many many thanks for the replies. Hi - I am eating both white rice and wholegrain brown rice, due to it being very difficult to just eat brown rice. In regards to histamine foods - I am taking 10mg loratadine to combat this issue, however haven't seen any positive results as of yet. I have noticed...

      Would you also agree that being so close to the IgA deficient cut off is significant? We just have been told he’s not as just over into the not deficient category… thank you so much for all the help so far, it’s been so helpful!

      One study showed that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease, so his odds of having it are quite high. Also, if he were not IgA deficient his celiac disease test scores would likely have been much higher because they were based on the IgA antibodies.

      Statistically, the incidence of IBS and other bowel disorders is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. Still, I would take one thing at a time. There is significant reason to believe your son does have celiac disease and there is no nasty prep needed for that endoscopic procedure. Assuming that he does have either celiac disease...

      Thank you, I do feel the likelihood is high which is why I am reluctant to do a colonoscopy as I feel we will find the answer. Whatever the endoscopy says though and even if it were to be negative he will be going gluten free as the positive EMA has to mean something with symptoms and one parent coeliac. But there is a niggling doubt as I try and...

In regards to histamine foods - I am taking 10mg loratadine to combat this issue, however haven't seen any positive results as of yet. I have noticed if I am on a strict gluten free diet for around 1 week, the insomnia instantly pops up, and I have to eat around half a slice of bread for it to stop. I am trying to lower this amount, however the insomnia is still present. I have searched these forums and the internet but there seem to be no solution to this issue. I thought if I gradually reduce from half a slice and a little less, the issue will be resolved. However this is not the case.

There is significant reason to believe your son does have celiac disease and there is no nasty prep needed for that endoscopic procedure. Assuming that he does have either celiac disease or NCGS, it is likely that a gluten-free diet corrects his symptoms and there would be no need to pursue a lower GI and it's nasty prep.  I would also add that the immune system of a child his age is not mature. It's in flux. Because of this, celiac disease testing can yield erratic results. And I would also add that some experts believe that NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. If this is true, there would seem to be transition phases. I hope you will keep us posted.
