I put my rice bread in the wrong toaster this morning, half alseep and did not realize it till I had already bitten. I am so mad. Now I am jittery though. It was one bite, but I suppose thats all it takes.

I get jittery sometimes too. It's one extreme or another for me. Either I'm fighting to stay awake, or I'm so jittery I feel like my brain is buzzing.

Hope you feel better.

I KNOW!

Before I went gluten-free, there were a couple of times like that and I thought I was literally going to fall down.

Like my arms were shaking and my legs were weak....

This is interesting.....that it seems to be common

Yup, I get the shakes among other things. Before going gluten free I had them so bad one time that I couldn't drive and had to get my hubby to find a ride down the valley so he could drive the van home :blink: It wasn't nice. Now I just get them when I get contaminated. Just hate the feeling because it's also really hard to concentrate on anything. :angry:

      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...

      As the article mentions: EMA-IgA (endomysial antibodies IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease: tTG-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease: So the likelihood is very high he has celiac disease, and even if the biopsy results turn out negative, I would still consider a gluten-free diet.

      Thank you. The borderline IgA deficiency is something I was wondering. Basically my query comes about because he had been offered an endoscopy to check for coeliac but a colonoscopy to check for IBD. We are keen to go ahead with endoscopy but trying to decide on the colonoscopy and the likelihood of it being coeliac is what is aiding our decision. His...

      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 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.

      Thank you. The borderline IgA deficiency  is something I was wondering. Basically my query comes about because he had been offered an endoscopy to check for coeliac but a colonoscopy to check for IBD. We are keen to go ahead with endoscopy but trying to decide on the colonoscopy and the likelihood of it being coeliac is what is aiding our decision. His inflammatory bloods are normal and so are stool tests. We basically are trying to decide the likelihood of being coeliac… If that likelihood is high then we are wondering whether or not to put him through the stress of the prep for the colonoscopy. Or see if the endoscopy confirms coeliac then decide after…  He has been eating gluten containing cereal plus toast… Then sandwich plus all snacks gluten! We are naturally a low gluten family as dad is coeliac.
