Celiac it is!
Mckenzie's big doctors appt. was this week with her GI doctor. We had bloodwork redone and she has been on the gluten free diet now for 6 months, so this check up was to recheck her numbers and her growth to find out if she has celiac disease for sure....and she does....Good news is, she feels alot better, has actually gained 3 pounds (big accomplishment for her) and half an inch. Her TTG levels went from 176 which is the highest her doc has ever seen to 59 (still high, but getting much better) and some ratio went from 1:320 to 1:10..WOW!! Bad news is she is on the gluten-free diet for life. I have been doing a lot of research, and have found some good alternatives, and we are doing well. If anyone has some good advice, I would love to hear it though!!
