Can it be true? A doctor listens to the parents and looks at the child in question. How is the child reacting to gluten? What are the symptoms? When you take the child off of gluten what happens? What happens when you challange the child with gluten? Let's do the blood test--negative. Let's go ahead and do the biopsy--negative. Let's re-examine the child's symptoms--

Diagnosis: We will treat Max as though he has Celiac disease. The biopsy is negative but all this means is that he's 2 and probably doesn't have enough damage to measure and maybe the samples weren't taken in JUST the right place. We won't have an official diagnosis, but as far as I'm (dr) concerned, Max has Celiac disease.

To Dr. William Marshall-

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for listening to us!!!!!

For all the parents out there--you know your child better than any doctor could possbily know them. Don't take "no" for an answer if you know in your heart of hearts that there's something wrong! God Bless you all!

Yey congrats.. i think lol.

this proves that there are decent doctors in the world. I had the exact same thing happen to me .. negative biopsy.. but i was also pretty much asyptomatic (i had anemia and tiredness). But my GI (Dr P.J. Dale) diagnosed me anyway .. as far as i can tell most doctors would have said that the anemia was because im a girl and the tiredness is because of the anemia .. go take some iron and get over it. And its offical . its as if the biopsy was positive in everyones eyes.

thank God for doctors like ours :D i only wish all doctors could be so good.

I have a great GI too...my blood was neg., and I was already gluten-free so he didn't try to make me do an endo...I had genetics, was found to have DQ2, and that was enough for him!

      Vaccines

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too. I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience. They take you seriously and they check everything. I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      Vaccines

      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5...

      Vaccines

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.
