The other blood work my oldest son had was the celiac panel (including Anti-gliadin IgG) which was all negative. However his total serum IGA is below range. When my younger son has his follow up appointment with Dr. Fasano in November I will ask him about the low cholesterol.
My son has no complaints about his health BUT if he develops any symptoms I will consider gluten to be a trigger. So I feel we are ahead of the game in that respect. Grace--If this son was younger I would consider taking him off gluten. He knows I think the whole world should be GF. However, taking a 17 year old off of gluten is not really possible unless they agree. He is quite independent and has to make his own decisions at this point. I know Cara has gone through this with her older daughter too. --Judy |

It's nice that he's open to it at all, at that point in his life.

It is reported that low cholesterol and autism may be linked. This is from Reuter's News on Medscape - you will have to register to read but registration if free.

That occurs in infants whose mothers take statins, or who inherit
genetically enzyme deficiencies in the liver. In infancy pyloric stenosis is often a presenting sign in these patients. http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic2117.htm This is pretty rare, and very dramatic in presentation. Quote:
at 17, her son may be just using up his cholesterol for growth, and hormone issues. It may go up, later when he is mature. If your son, Judy, does not show autistic signs, I would not worry about this syndrome. But it does illustrate why statins are contraindicated during and before pregnancy!
