I'm not sure how much stock I put into studies that include vaccines...one you are't going to get the whoel story b/c they want people to get vaccinated.

We're were talking the other day about the link between vaccinations and sids. But I guarentee no DR will say that or researchers as well.

This makes me SO MAD!!!!!!!!!! :ph34r:

It's only telling part of the truth, and presenting it in a misleading way.

Yes, vaccine manufacturers stopped producing most vaccines preserved with thimerosal in 2001. But they were allowed to continue to SELL the thimerosal-containing vaccines that had already been produced, and doctors were allowed to continue using them.

I know my daughter was nearly given a thimerosal-containing HIB vaccine in 2003. I know, because I insisted that the nurse bring me the paper listing the ingredients. She was trying to convince me that the thimerosal had been "taken out." She was wrong, of course.

So children who were given mercury-containing vaccines in 2003 and 2004 (and beyond, if they had flu shots and chicken pox shots, which most kids had) might very well have not been diagnosed until 2007.

This study is crap. They did NOT show that these kids received thimerosal-free vaccines. They just twisted it around to present the conclusion that they wanted.

My opinion is that this has nothing or little to do with celiac and the subject always causes some pretty violent reactions on both sides. People who believe one way or the other ALWAYS cast doubt on any information that doesn't support their position. It's almost like "discussing" abortion or politics. IMO, it either shouldn't be on this forum or it should be in the gab area. This is strictly my opinion.

As a fellow moderator, I agree with Richard. This is a topic area where rational discussion does not take place--just arguments from firmly set minds. If the "lock topic" option were available, I would use it here and now. Like Richard, this is my opinion and does not reflect the position of the celiac.com or the other moderators.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
