Hi, 

My name is Jessica and I just got diagnosed with Celiac Disease 6 days ago! But have had stomach/digestive issues for over 10 years. I also found out I am allergic to: Milk, Egg, Peanuts, Soybeans and Corn. So this is definitely been a huge adjustment in my diet. I am glad I found this site as I want to learn all i can about Celiac & the gluten-free way of life. Hope to get to know all of you.

Welcome to the board.  :)

 

It looks like your have even more food issues to deal with than most of us.  There are a fair number around here with corn, soy and dairy issues too - you're in good company.

 

Just a reminder to keep an eye open for celiac in your kids too.  They'll have a 1 in 10, to 1 in 25, chance of developing celiac disease too.  I they are not gluten-free, they should be tested every couple of years for it.

 

Best wishes

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.
