My Son's Bisopy Results Are In.

Well the GI doc called to day with my sons results, and the biospy "showed evidence of a food allergy". When I told him about how we swtiched my son to the gluten-free diet and the results we are getting he asked if we could rush my son in first thing tommorow for a celiac disease blood test. He siad that while being gluten-free free for almost a week would effect the test, the sooner we tested the less impact it would have. He also said no matter what the blood test shows keep him on the gluten-free diet for now, and if the blood test shows negaitve to do a test exposure to gluton in a year or so. If the blood test shows postive then to keep him of gluton, for life.

That sound typical to y'all?

As for me... I gave my blood this AM, and wiating to hear back, prbly be a week they siad. Since I have had a endoscopy and now given blood, I think I am going try going gluten-free too, theres no more tests they can run so I will not be hindering anything. Frankly Im sick of being in pain and tired.

Go on the gluten-free diet and go by how you feel. If you start feeling a little better then don't stop the diet. Once you start becoming more aware of what your body is telling you (symptoms) after you've been exposed to gluten and you feel funny or needle pains or heartburn then you'll know its some sort of intestinal issue. In my family my grandmother had it, my father and a couple of his sisters had it and in my immediate family my sister has IBS and I have a brother who gets sick when he eats bread but refuses to find out why.

      @ARSTONE, not to be picky because there has been evolution in the terminology with regard to gluten disorders. And the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are still used by some interchangeably. But with time, "gluten intolerance" has become synonymous with celiac disease with "gluten sensitivity" referring to NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Having said that, whatever it may be, apparently there is an ingredient in that product that doesn't agree with you.

      @Manaan2, You may want to consider switching from Miralax (polyethylene glycol) to magnesium citrate and Thiamine supplements.   When I was prescribed Miralax for constipation, I developed worsened gastrointestinal problems, including worsening leaky gut syndrome.  Since polyethylene glycol is a synthetic chemical made from petroleum or coal byproducts, I was uncomfortable with that.   Miralax can cause poor vitamin absorption, flushing vitamins and minerals away before they can be absorbed.  Miralax can cause electrolyte imbalances, meaning low magnesium.  Low magnesium levels can cause constipation.  Low Thiamine Vitamin B1 can cause constipation as well.  Magnesium and Thiamine work together to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient thiamine and magnesium, the gastrointestinal tract slows down resulting in constipation, a sort of catch twenty-two.   I quit taking Miralax.  I took a form of Thiamine, Benfotiamine 250-300 mg, at the beginning of every meal and 200mg magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate or magnesium l-threonate (Neuromag) at the end of every meal.  My constipation resolved quickly.  When my stool got too loose, I simply reduced the amount of magnesium.  I did not reduce Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal health and reduce leaky gut syndrome.  If thiamine at night gives too much energy to fall asleep at night, skip the Benfotiamine at the last evening meal. Blood tests ate not accurate measures of vitamin sufficiency.  The best way to check for Thiamine insufficiency is to take it and look for health improvement within a few days.  Thiamine is water soluble, easily excreted in urine if not needed.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic when used in high doses.  No harm in trying, just to rule this out.   Best wishes.  Do keep us posted on your daughter's progress!

      I don't know if anyone can help. I was diagnosed with celiac last June. Since going gluten free the diarrhea has stopped, in fact things have gone the other way. What is bothering me is the occasional rectal mucus discharge. I have no other symptoms and it doesn't happen very often. As I haven't seen anyone since my diagnosis, I don't know if this is normal or not

      The issue is I'm not actually celiac but gluten intolerant. So do t know why I am so sick from this. It's been two days.

      The product is Certified Gluten-Free, but that does not mean they would be immune to any possible manufacturing issues: https://feel-good-foods.com/product/chicken-soup-dumplings/ As @trents mentioned, some people have issues with xanthan gum, even though it is gluten-free:
