The celiac panel results are back. His IGG units was 94......anything over 30 is considered moderate to strongly positive. Even his Ped. (bless his heart) was shocked. He had always told me Gareth was growing too well to have celiac disease.......the kid is 4'8'' and 125 lbs. He's never had bowel problems.......only this GERD for the past 6 months. >> Margaret, I thought the way to check for celiac was with a biopsy? Gosh, I'm so sorry. I just can't believe the way this year has been going for everyone. Vent, cry, or whatever you need to do here Margaret. Sometimes it really makes you wonder if God knows what he is doing or if he overlooked a few of the initials after Gareth's name. Hang in there Margaret. Lots of prayers going up to help you accept and cope with the newest curve on your roller coaster ride. These are the posts that make me so sad. :-( Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2001 Report Share Posted March 13, 2001 Margaret: I'm sorry. I remember my fear when Andy's first test (IgA) was positive. But then the IgG came back negative.... great big hugs and lots of chocolate....and prayers, of course! j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 Margaret, I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time right now, but maybe this will actually lead to a treatment that will make Gareth feel and do better. This may turn out to be a positive thing for Gareth in the end once you get through all of the tests. I hope you feel better about it soon.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Margaret, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine. I understand the way you are feeling as far as being angry. Don't beat yourself up about it. I'll be praying for Gareth. Mom to 12 --- mfroof@... wrote: > Hi, Everyone.......I got another major shock today > with Gareth. The celiac > panel results are back.
