Regarding Taylor my 3.5 year old daughter. Blood work only IGG was elevated
(90) every other blood test negative. biopsy Monday negative he took 8
separate sections all negative. NOW WHAT!! she has leg pain ,stomach
pain, rectal pain oily stool, clingy, crabby, emotional wreck, dark
circles under eyes, chapped lips, all stopped when we went gf for 6
weeks, most returned when we did gluten challenge for 2 months except
for stomach pain it never returned. doc said 100% not celiac with
negative blood and biopsy its impossible. said she probably has a non
testable allergy and to just go wheat or gluten free to see if it makes
a change but not to worry if she ingests it by accident because it wont
damage her intestine. I guess we will just do the diet and see what
happens but in my heart I will always be worried that she really is
celiac and will have intestinal damage if she eats gluten when she is
older. Any comments? thanks, holly the "discouraged mother!!"
