I have posted in children's health as well
https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/childrens_health/3457381-Any-coeliacs-or-HCPs-about here but thought it might be worth asking here as well.

Basically, my 10 year old DD's ttg IgA result just came back as >128 u/ml, with anything >10 being positive. I'm pretty much assuming that she does have coeliac disease, but wondering what will happen next with getting the diagnosis confirmed. Does anyone know if the GP is likely to refer her for.an endoscopy, or will they try to avoid that and just do further bloods? It's an NHS doctor and the next appointment is booked for the start of January.

She has a range of symptoms which seem to me to.be classic coeliac: loose stools, nausea, vomiting, tiredness.

Another question as well, her younger sister (7) hasn't had the loose stools, nausea 3rd bit she has been suffering from constipation and has always been a very skinny child- on the border between underweight/healthy weight on the BMI charts. Obviously if DD1 gets a firm diagnosis, I will get DD2 screened as well, but could celiac be causing the constipation?
