<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have a 4 year old who is autistic and has had multiple medical issues his whole little life. I have recently had him tested for celiac disease. The bloodwork came back negative. However, he did test positive for the gene. His biopsy did not reveal damaged villi, yet it did reveal patches of ulceritis, inflamed colon and acid reflux disease. His bowel movements have always been loose, foul, violent affairs. His gastroenterologist says he will see us again in 6 months and if my son's patterns are still the same we can assume this is "normal" for him. This is not normal for anyone!!! Can anyone tell me is it possible to have the disease with the bloodwork being negative and a positive gene? Or is it possible that he may have positive blood work come up in the future b/c he has the gene? Any help/thoughts are greatly appreciated.
