My Kids' Results Are In

On one hand I'm relieved that they're all negative, although I do understand that the testing doesn't rule celiac disease out in the future. I'lm still wondering why 3 of them have ongoing, but minor, digestive problems - they eat REALLY healthy, drink lots of water and get regular exercise, all things that are supposed to keep the systems running smoothly. One daughter has an auto-immune problem (vitiligo) and one son has a bed-wetting problem that he can't outgrow and they both have horrible gas and frequent stomach aches. My son is already off milk and we have tried that with all the kids, but no one else seems to have a problem with it.

So I think I'll just not worry for now.

You might want to consider doing a Total Elimination Diet. Your kids may have food allergies/sensitivities which can cause gastro distress and bedwetting. www.askdrsears.com is a good place to start on info for a "ted".

If you have been diagnosed positive by a medical doctor, I just read an article in the new living without magazine the other day that recommend testing your children every 2 years for Celiac. They may not be currently producting antibodies, but may in the future.

My daughters test came back neg and so did mine. however we have both gone gluten-free and are feeling much better! Most of our symptoms are gone now! I would suggest trying gluten-free with them to see if it helps. My symptoms were stomach discomfort and a few other things but my daughter had really bad bms. Gluten issues could be causing that.

      Dealing with gas an stomach pain.

      HI @Kwinkle I am not sure where you are posting from, but here in the UK it is most definitely gluten free.  I think you ought to try contacting the manufacturers or distributors locally to see what they say.  Cristiana https://www.boots.com/gaviscon-peppermint-liquid-relief-oral-suspension-300ml-10023763#:~:text=or during pregnancy.-,This product is sugar free and gluten free.,are pregnant or breast feeding.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      Hi Matt,  So sorry you're having to suffer all this.  I'm just chiming in on your dairy question because the answers are often far from what we or our doctors assume.  For example, I thought I could go back to having dairy once my intestinal villi healed.  I was fine for about 8 months.  And then I wasn't.  Started having weird issues with maintaining my balance while walking.  Even my PCP who has celiac didn't relate it to dairy.  Had to have a second endoscopy with enzyme testing.  Sure enough my pancreas no longer produces enough Lactase to process lactose.  My GI just brushed it off as, "common for people with celiac."    I'd never seen or heard that before.  I should have pressed him on it.  Common for celiacs who are women?  Common for celiacs of a certain age group?  But I was so surprised I didn't say anything.  Maybe Scott has more information on celiac and pancreatic function.  At least I'm back to walking upright!

      Hi Christina, i’m interested in this gaviscon Dimension but when I look it up on Amazon, I don’t see that it says it’s gluten-free?   Thank you Sorry, not dimension - it was supposed to say ‘that you mentioned’. Duh 🙄

      Hi Deanne! Thanks for support but mu other EGD show normal VA (but some of the samples were not readable) but overall normal egd so after 1 year there is normal villi. I am glad that You solved our problem. Kind regards, matt
