Background is that 9 year old had positive and negative celiac blood tests in 2020 and an endoscopy that showed some gastritis but no diagnosis of celiacs.

Last few weeks,She started losing weight, went off food and then started losing hair. Took her to the docs who ordered loads of blood tests.I got a phone call to say iron was very low and supplement prescribed. Everything else was considered fine.

Just got a print out of bloods and yes, ferritin v low 3ng/ml

However, there are other things raised -
Serum creative 55 umol 48 is top of reference limit
Serum total protein level 75 g/l

Also plasma glucose is 3.1 with 3 being lowest end of reference and IGA 0.36 when lowest ref is 0.3 so pretty borderline.

Are all these things linked to anaemia? Is she pre celiac (dad is celiac) am I just a stress head?

Thoughts and knowledge really appreciated.

Hi @scater just wondering if you found out whether your daughter had coeliac disease in the end? Hope she is feeling better.

I honestly don’t have the expertise to interpret that fully. I think a healthy gluten-free diet would be a great way forward though, with a repeat of the bloods after a couple of months. I don’t think the glucose is linked to coeliac so keep her sugars up with apple juice or similar (I use toffees, borderline diabetic here). Keep giving her protein, veg and fruit, slow carbs, if she gets hot and sweaty give her a sweet or some fruit juice. You’re doing well. Love to you.
