Dear Members,

A brief history.  I have been gf for 1 1/2 years after suffering rectal
bleeding, abdominal pain for 2 years.  I went to a nutritionist who put
me on gf dairy free, and then I asked to GI doctor to test for celiac.
I tested positive for IGG only, and the biopsies were inconclusive
because I was gf for eight weeks when they were done. I won't do a
challenge.

Skip forward to now, and my five year old daughter has had intermittent
diarrhea, not associated with illness for two months.  She always has
abdominal pain with each bout.  I told myself that I wouldn't subject my
children to testing unless they had symptoms, because technically I am
not a diagnosed celiac.  Well, now I took her to her pediatrician and
asked for the testing, which he did to humor me, but was nice.  She has
the same results as I do, negative to all but IGG which is pretty high
at 69.   I am now getting a referral to a GI for her.  Since she is
still on a normal diet, I am leaning toward doing an endoscopy for a
definite diagnosis.  I would not want to go gf with her if it is only on
 a hunch.  My question is, what other illnesses does anyone know of that
show only an elevation of IGG.  I have never been testing for IGA
deficiency.  Any feedback in more than welcome.

Thank you,
Maria Bessem
