Thanks for the clarification on the scope. This is what confused me, "gastro doc said from the biopsy there was mild atrophied villi but I know that could be from where the sample was taken and they could be gone not far away." I interpreted that to mean when the scope was done they didn't do a thorough job of checking the area that would be affected by celiac... -
You might be having trouble digesting meat because of the damage to your villi. But what about gallbladder problems? Were those burgers, even the turkey ones, greasy? The odd thing is the "peeing like a racehorse" after consumption. You say you have follow up GI appointment coming up. Please be aware if the GI doc wants to do an upper GI to specifically...

Concerning dosage, I found this: https://patient-info.co.uk/sodium-feredetate-190-mg-5ml-oral-solution-88092/summary-of-medicine-characteristics Age 6 – 24 months: 12.5 mg Age 2 – 5 years: 20–30 mg Age 6 – 11 years: 30 – 60 mg But these dosages are in mg, not ml.

It is "chelated" to improve absorption but not buffered from what I can tell. What she is taking is an appropriate pediatric iron supplement product. By the way, it is normal for iron supplementation to turn poo black. That is not a worry per se. But iron supplementation can cause an upset tummy. Iron can irritate the mucosal lining of the tummy...

What iron product is she prescribed? Is it buffered? Has she had her B12 levels checked? B12 is necessary for the assimilation of iron.

Found this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ Shows an association between rosacea and celiac disease as well as other autoimmune disorders.

Welcome to the forum, @Nita hearn! It's interesting that you should ask this question. I just has an appointment with my dermatologist last week because I have developed a red rash on my cheeks and red bumps/pimples in the bridge of my nose. My wife was concerned that I might have developed rosacea, which she developed years ago. She's not a celiac but...

Some might. Some might not. Why don't you try it? Taste is a very personal and individual thing. I don't know that anyone can speak for you.

Welcome to the forum, @Thoas! Just curious. Why do you ask? Is there some reason you are hesitant to try it besides taste?

Does Celiac disease affect blood pressure?
trents replied to Dorothy O.'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from celiac disease tends to be global. So, if you are low in one or two things that have been tested, you are likely low in other vitamins and minerals as well. Routinely, we the admins on this forum recommend to those celiacs who were undiagnosed for years to supplement with sublingual B12, a high-potency B-complex... -
Does Celiac disease affect blood pressure?
trents replied to Dorothy O.'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Welcome to the forum, @Dorothy O.! May we assume you have now been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? You seem to imply this and if so, when did these blood pressure and cough symptoms start to appear? -

Confusion about my son's results
trents replied to lizzie42's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Most doctors don't even order anything besides the tTG-IGA and maybe total IGA when doing blood testing for celiac disease. The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG... -
Confusion about my son's results
trents replied to lizzie42's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
@lizzie42, So, I'm confused with what you are uncertain about. Do you really have any doubt that your 5 year-old son has celiac disease? Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet... -
Confusion about my son's results
trents replied to lizzie42's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
@lizzie42, Are the results you posted above for your daughter or for your son? If these are for your 5 year-old son, they are strongly positive and definitely suggest celiac disease. The ttg-iga is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing and at 59 it is a strong positive. If you are wondering why some of the other tests are negative, you need...
