Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Nicole--Since he's so ill, can you call the doctor and request an earlier appointment? It's more than obvious that he's having a reaction, and personally I don't think many doctors would want such a sick little boy to suffer for so much longer. I could be wrong, and there might be a reason I'm not aware of. But if I were his mom, I'd want to be sure. Just a thought. I hope this is all resolved really soon!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi all, I just wanted to ask for prayers for my son, Peter, who is only 3 yrs old. He was placed on a gluten challenge on Monday (after being gluten free since June of 06), and has now finally reacted and is reacting very strongly - high fevers, severe congestion, bloating, etc. Luckily I only agreed to having him on the gluten challenge for 10 days, so we only have 7 more days until his biopsy (for celiac disease). It will be hard now that he is reacting to continue to give him foods we know is making him very ill. I am hoping the vomitting does not set in, but, a positive biopsy is what we are looking for. Thank you, Nicole in NM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 BL--I had a biopsy, and so did three of my girls. I also had a friend whose daughter and husband have Celiac. I have never heard of that " 10 day " thing before. Huh. Live and learn! Marilyn ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Even though he is having immune system reactions, for a biopsy he needs the full 10 days to have a certitude of villi damage. It's a hard thing and one of the reason we have never bothered with scoping. I think she said he was to have a scope not just a blood draw.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Don't you already have enough evidence that gluten is causing him problems? Is it really necessary to see villi damage to believe that he has a problem? For me it wouldn't be worth it for my kid. To me I would already have enough evidence. But that is just my perspective. I don't need a doctor to tell me that my little boy should not eat gluten, the evidence was already clear to me.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 How about Enterolab? Can they test a 3 year old? It sure would beat the poor little guy having to go thru this. I can totally identify! (I'm so sorry for him!)
