Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 My son's villi were normal on his scope. BTVC refers to damaged villi whether or not you meet the modern definition of celiac's. I'm just curious as to why my son's chronic diarrhea hasn't damaged his villi by now. He most definately has malabsorption issues and fits the description of someone who should benefit by specific carbs. Do those of you with ASD kids (who have been scoped) have damaged villi? Also some might find this interesting... BTVC talks about the mucus barrier caused by the inability to digest the carbs. My son was seen by doctor of chinese medicine who diagnosed him with " phlem of the intestines. " There was a language barrier, so he did not really ask me anything about his health -- just took his pulse in several places and looked at his tongue. He used acupuncture and pediatric massage and for the next couple of days my son expelled gobs of mucus in his poopy diapers. We didn't continue with the doctor as the needles were too traumatic. - --------------------------------- Never Miss an Email Stay connected with Yahoo! Mail on your mobile. Get started!
