I Just Wanted To Say....

I just wanted to post to you all...since I haven't is quite some time... that my daughter who was thought to have Celiac was tested by a DNA (blood)test. She has tested unlikely to have Celiac. So we have kinda ruled it out. But have any others on this site have the same result and really did have it? My husband is dead set on my daughter NOT having a biopsy done. I am wondering what some other parents or patients opinions are? (FYI...no one in our family and extended family have or has had celiac.)

Thanks

We too refused the bio. However, after being on a gluten free diet my son is much happier and has finally gained some weight. It has been wonderful for us. I think you have to think about how difficult it is to be on the diet and what the pro's and con's are of staying on the diet for a while and seeing if there is any differences. Our doctor has labeled him with celiac based on the prositive response to the diet, but every doctor is different.

My daughter was DNA tested and it came back negative. She was very, very sick at 14 months old and when we put her on a gluten free diet within 5 days all of her symptoms went away. It was like a miracle. Our doctor has diagnosed her Celiac because of the dramatic and obvious improvement. I questioned the DNA test too, but not all celiac genes have been identified to be tested for. We had our daughter tested by Enterolab just to have a medical diagnosis on hand - that came back positive.

Enterolab is the one that does the oral test...right? It is not covered by insurance.

It's very possible that it's not Celiac Disease, but an intolerance or even an allergy that is causing your daughters issues. Which would not test positive for Celiac, as Celiac is neither of those things. So, gluten-free may still be the answer.

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:
