someone please correct me if I am wrong, but aren't a lot of products on Clan Thompson of British origin or Canadian and won't be of value to those in USA?

I thought that was why Gluten Guard system was best for those in USA...

I don't know. I haven't used Clan Thompsons database before. I just received that in an e-mail from our support group leader, so I thought I'd share.

The reason I am asking is because I am on the "fence" on this - which one to select....

I was under the understanding that Clan Thompson was America and therefore no good to Canadians.

call your credit card company and see if a "hold" has been put on your account and the amount. Then you can ascertain if you did the wrong thing.

If you did, then when charge is first on your account, again call daily to see when the "hold" is a firm "charge" quickly get in touch with Clan T. to work it out with them. Maybe this will work.

The confusion may be because Clan Thompson has 2 versions of the SmartList-- 1 for Canada and 1 for the USA. Clan Thompson is a family-owned business based in Maine. ALL products in the USA version of their SmartList software are available in USA stores. Both the Canadian and the USA versions are clearly marked USA or Canada on the product pages. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding about Clan Thompson's SmartList software.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
