My son is 12 and was dx 3 weeks ago with Celiac Disease. Basically I got a phone call from his ped and was told he had it and that she still wanted us to see a ped gi that she had referred us to the week before when we went in again for stomach pain and bathroom issues. I did not get any dos or don'ts. I was told we would have to wait for an appt with the ped gi. I did not get a time frame. So I started my son on gluten free food. His numbers are:
IgA 88
IgG 30
t TG lgA 21
t TG lgG 4
lgA Quant 180
Endomysial AB lgA positive
After reading a lot online, I seen where a lot of people have had a biopsy done right away or were told they were going to have one so they shouldn't go gluten free. I didn't know anything about needing one. Since I am not sure when we will get an appt with the ped gi should I still keep him on gluten free or not? He is still sleeping a lot and still has stomach pain. I don't want to cause more pain if it is not needed since he has said he is starting to feel some better. I am going to call the dr and ask as well but wanted your thoughts.
