Getting My Son Tested

If my HGB (iron) is going up, I will know today, then I will be taking my son, 2, in this week for testing.

When I was tested a month ago my doctor didn't do the right tests, and won't retest me, so I only have the fact that the diet is making me feel better to go on.

I want to go in to my son's doctor knowing exactly what tests I need done on him. Can someone provide me with a list of what he needs done? I know that I also want to add a full CBC and Ferratin since I have so many problems with anemia.

Thanks.

You might want to check in the pre-diagnosis, testing section. I just seen talking about the different things to test for- I didn't write it down yet though.

Ask for the Comprehensive Celiac Panel--

Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA

Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG

Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA

Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA

Total Serum IgA

Thank you. I am printing that out and taking it with me. I don't want them to have to stick him twice or the results come back like mine because they didn't do the right test.

Ask for "Gene" testing too while you are at it.

Grain free, too? I am so impressed, that must have been so difficult!! Were you tested for all of those foods or did you give them up to see how you would feel??

I did enough research and read enough compelling books to lead me to the conclusion that HUMANS are not designed to eat GRAINS. They are naturally foods for birds and rodents.

I was very interested in the SCD diet and that is what I follow 85-90%. The improvement has been striking.

This morning I had grain free blueberry muffins that are amazing. I am not doing without.

Last night I had Indian pumpkin/chicken curry. Delicious!

It helps to have a positive attitude.

It's only food.

      Dealing with gas an stomach pain.

      HI @Kwinkle I am not sure where you are posting from, but here in the UK it is most definitely gluten free.  I think you ought to try contacting the manufacturers or distributors locally to see what they say.  Cristiana https://www.boots.com/gaviscon-peppermint-liquid-relief-oral-suspension-300ml-10023763#:~:text=or during pregnancy.-,This product is sugar free and gluten free.,are pregnant or breast feeding.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      Hi Matt,  So sorry you're having to suffer all this.  I'm just chiming in on your dairy question because the answers are often far from what we or our doctors assume.  For example, I thought I could go back to having dairy once my intestinal villi healed.  I was fine for about 8 months.  And then I wasn't.  Started having weird issues with maintaining my balance while walking.  Even my PCP who has celiac didn't relate it to dairy.  Had to have a second endoscopy with enzyme testing.  Sure enough my pancreas no longer produces enough Lactase to process lactose.  My GI just brushed it off as, "common for people with celiac."    I'd never seen or heard that before.  I should have pressed him on it.  Common for celiacs who are women?  Common for celiacs of a certain age group?  But I was so surprised I didn't say anything.  Maybe Scott has more information on celiac and pancreatic function.  At least I'm back to walking upright!

      Hi Christina, i’m interested in this gaviscon Dimension but when I look it up on Amazon, I don’t see that it says it’s gluten-free?   Thank you Sorry, not dimension - it was supposed to say ‘that you mentioned’. Duh 🙄
