Allergy Testing For A 20 Month Old?

I was just wondering about something here. My dd Lily-Rose was DX'd as Celiac early in early 2006.

Her EMA was slightly elevated, but it gave the doc. enough proof that Gluten needed to be eliminated because my son was DX'd through positive biopsy.

She has had very strange poop for months now. Its yellow, sometimes greyish, really awful smelling (i'm not joking she can clear a room!!) Shes had 3 sinus infections so far this winter and has bags under her eyes all the time. She coughs only at night. Shes not gained any weight in about 3 months, and is mildly anemic.

My Ped. says that he is going to send her in for allergy tests, but I heard somewhere that diagnosing allergies in a child this young is sometimes unreliable. I was wondering of this is true, and also what allergies her symtoms could be related to????

I know she has been gluten-free because I keep everything in separate cuboards, use our own toaster etc. etc etc..

I'm just worried about this because we can't even get in too see the allergist for a few weeks!! ARGH!

I do know that scratch tests are unreliable, if that is what he is sending her for.

Why don't you try the forums here: Open Original Shared Link. I bet they can help.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
