High Igg Levels?

Concerned Mom of two

Hi everyone, I am new to all of this, and I wanted to know a little bit more about the diagnosis process. My son had had ADHD symptoms, (inattentive subtype) and extreme tiredness for a couple of years now and I asked the doctor to test him for celiac disease. She did the blood work and his tests came back with high IGg levels. What does that mean? What are the chances that he really does have celiac? I am wondering of I should put him through the other testing before starting the diet, or just go through the whole process of the diet without knowing if he has Celiac for sure. Any advice? Also, I am not really even sure how the whole testing process goes but really what I am concerned with is how traumatic it will be for a seven year old! Thank you!

There are several different IgG results within the complete celiac panel. Specifically which one was elevated? Is your son IgA deficient? If possible, please post his bloodwork results with the reference ranges.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Hi there, I have a few questions about my daughter who is 2 and has been gluten-free for two weeks following her diagnosis please! She was originally diagnosed due to having faecal impaction and chronic constipation. Since starting the gluten-free diet, we are still on daily movicol but she is pooping a lot more than before. Could this finally be her naturally clearing out the backlog as her digestive system is actually starting to work again? Secondly the colour of her stools has recently been a bit pinkish. It does not look like blood, but I wondered if this is normal again for a colour shift post diet change? Finally, she has had a very large tummy due to the coeliac. How long does this take to go down? Thank you!

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      By gregoryC · Posted

      Everything I had was included in the cruise fare. The coffee at cafe al baico is not but,  ALL baked goods are! If you want a coffee, latte, or espresso the charge is $4 to $5. Not bad for some excellent coffee! The buffet and spa cafe has free coffee and drinks. Also large selection of the best ice cream, sorbet, and gelato at sea for free!  with Celebrity I don’t feel like I have a handicap.

      I love that there's wheat all over the wall paper for the gluten-free section. It looks good. Was the café included in the free meals or was that extra?

      The best gluten-free pizza is on the Celebrity Summit, but the Celebrity Beyond Pizza still beats and land gluten-free pizza.
