Tests Results
Both my of DDs have recently been tested for Celiac Disease. While I don't have the numbers yet (coming in the mail), here is what I have been told.
Ellie - 3 years old
Celiac Test within Normal range (I know, numbers here would help).
TSH elevated 9.3
T4 Normal
Genes - DQ2 and DQ8
Symptoms - Constipation, Failure to Thrive
Previous Bx normal (12/05)
Kara - 13 years old
Celiac Test within Normal range
Thyroid Normal
Genes - DQ2
Symptoms - No GI symptoms, fast heart rate, mild hypertension. Testing was precautionary.
My question - what are the chances that Ellie does have Celiac with DQ2 and DQ8, elevated TSH and the symptoms that she has. My gut (sorry) says that she most definitely has it. But given a normal bx in Dec., how can we prove it?
