He Doesn't Have Celiac!

Yay! Sean's doctor just called with the initial lab results and he does NOT have celiac disease! She also feels he does NOT have reflux and doesn't need to be on Prevacid for it.

However, the red spot in his stomach tested positive for a bacteria infection called Hemicobactor Pylori. The treatment is a course of 2 antibiotics taken with Prevacid for 10 days 14 days. I'm not sure if he will need some sort of repeat test (blood work?) to see if it clears up. She said it appears to be in the early stages so hopefully we can treat it easily.

I asked her if she felt she needed to see him again or doing any other testing to look for physical causes for his feeding issues and she said no. She thinks it is something he will have to overcome thru feeding therapy. Sigh.

While I am somewhat disappointed that there wasn't a clear medical answer found, I guess I am also relieved that he doesn't have a life-long disease. The thought of living with those restrictions was overwhelming.

I guess we are back to square one- praying for him to overcome these aversions and encouraging his therapy. Thanks for everyone thoughts, prayers and advice.

Edited to add: I just picked up his prescriptions from the pharmacy and he is actually taking 2 different antibiotics 2x a day and Prevacid 1x a day for a course of 14 days. Wow! That will be fun.
