Daughter's Ttg Finally Normal!

Hooray! It took two years to get it into the normal range, from over 16x the upper limit of normal at diagnosis. Both DGPs are normal now too. We were stuck at low-positive tTG for a long time.

What finally did it was eliminating several GFCO-certified products that had detectable gluten at levels well under 20ppm. Once we did that, we got her tTG into the normal range within eight weeks. Phew, what a relief! And she is doing great - the difference in her mood with this last decrease in tTG is very noticeable. She's never been this happy in her entire life!

That is awesome! Congratulations!

Would you be willing to share what the products that you eliminated were? There may be others struggling with the same thing.

I think I probably shouldn't say the specific brands, since they're products that are probably fine for most celiacs. But it was two flours and one ground spice, all of which were certified gluten-free but made in shared facilities. They were all things I used on a fairly regular basis, but in quite small amounts. No more shared facilities for any ground/powdery products for us, even if certified!

What does "GFCO-certified" mean?  Thanks... I'm still new at this!

It's the Gluten Intolerance Group's Gluten Free Certification Organization (in the U.S.). They're the ones with the little G F symbol in a circle. Their certification standards are stricter than the FDA's requirement, since they only certify products with less than 10ppm of gluten (and they do test things regularly).

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
