<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am the mom of a 3 year old celiac whose older brother has short stature without any other celiac symptoms. Consultation with the PED GI resulted in serum testing at Prometheus with him showing endomysial/EMA negative and borderline positive on Gliadin IGA and IGG. He has a biopsy scheduled for Thur and the Doc will be taking samples from several areas as I anticipate damage, if there, to be patchy. Have been giving the child a daily tsp of vital wheat gluten to offset our family's lower gluten diet (natural outcome of cooking gf for the celiac family member). I feel my child is in that "does he have it or doesn't he" diagnostic muddle and want to be sure I ask all the questions and have everything I done that should be as we pursue his condition. I do realize many from the list will caution me to avoid the biopsy and take the child gf. That may be a choice my family makes if the biopsy is inconclusive, however, at this time we feel it is in our best interest to pursue official diagnosis. Appreciate tips from others to make this proceedure as conclusive as it can be. Planned to ask about the less obvious intestine changes that may show on the biopsy including: *Partial villous atrophy/blunting *Crypt hyperplasia *Lymphocytic infiltration of lamina propria *Increase in intraepithelial lympocytes *Abnormal epithelial cells -- flat, cubodial, stratified? Many thanks for your advice.
