Waiting For Biopsy

My 9 year old son started suffering from terrible stomach pains in February after being really sick with tonsillitis. These pains lead to him being seem by many doctors, spending a night in hospital, and an entire month away from school. We were told lots of 'it could be this, that or the other, but probably either stress or IBS' with no real answers.

Finally this week (nearly 5 months later) we got told his blood test came back positive for Coeliac Disease and we're now waiting for a biopsy to confirm, but paediatrician seemed fairly certain. The more I read about celiac disease the more is falling into place. I just wish it had been picked up sooner so he didn't have to suffer so much.

I have been reading lots of threads on here, and it helps to know so many parents have been through similar situations. I hope the biopsy appointment comes through quickly so we can start getting Alex well.

My 12 year old daughter and I are going for our blood tests on Tuesday. Paediatrician thinks there is a strong chance that the IBS I was diagnosed with 10 years ago could be celiac disease.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
