Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hi. My name is Patti and I'm hoping to get some advice so I can help my son. He is 6 years old and the last 6 months have been horrible. I've been to 2 other groups trying to get answers and one of them keeps saying this is the room to go. The other one has been extremely helpful, but now the situation deepens a little. Here is a brief description: six months ago he started vomiting. It went on for a month along with diahrea. I had suspected celiac before and now I did again. I demanded a blood test. 2 out of 3 came out positive. He went to a pedi. gastro. He did an endoscopy and the biopsies came back negative. I did more blood tests and allergy tests and a stool sample. All came back negative or normal, except the other celiac test( a more sensitive one). That showed High levels of IgG. The gastro doctor suggested a colonoscopy. That showed microscopic colitis. At first he said he could cure it. Now I just spoke with him again and he said it may NOT go away. Unfortunately until I met my husband I have never heard of celiac. His brother has it. My son hasn't had the gene test done yet for celiac. I was going to have it done in 2 weeks when he goes back. Should I still have the gene test done? My son doesn't vomit anymore, but hasn't had a solid stool for months. Gets bloated, has a constant pain on both sides of stomach. What does that sound like to you? Anything would help me to go in the right direction to help my son. Thank you Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
