welcome

And by all means tell us what you are craving we all can help. Here is a way to look at your new diet I know this thought has alway helped me. I pretend I've had to move to another place in the world & I can't get my old staples of indgredients so I have to start subbing other things for the things I've alway known in my life.I know this sounds corny but I have others who are trying to lose weigh and they to say it works. I guess its mind over matter.... I had to keep telling myself that this is the way it is.

My best advice is to buy several gluten free cookbooks. This is what made it totally easier for me. I bought the Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids book by Sheri Sanderson and the Gluten-Free Gourmet cooks Fast and Healthy by Bette Hagman. These two books have saved my sanity. I try to order a new book once a month because they each have at least one phenomenal recipe in them. One good gluten free recipe is SOOOOOO worth the cost of the book.

I totally understand! I was diagnosed in June and have never in my life wanted a pizza so bad. I have allready had lots of substitutions including gluten-free pizza crust but it is not the same it is just going to take some time to adjust.

This forum is great for info an all sorts of things. I don't post very much but I am doing a lot of reading.

Good luck to you.

I'm pretty new too, & I've found that I sometimes crave foods I never even liked! The lure of forbidden fruit, I suppose. What really helps me is getting on this board & reading the threads that show how much better everyone feels when they have been gluten-free long enough to heal. When I'm tempted I think of all the ways gluten has hurt me & all my hopes for restored health.

Most folks say that the cravings do fade as you continue to stick to the diet. And definitely, do learn to cook gluten-free versions of your faves. They may not be quite the same, but it will help you make the transition. Carol Fenster & Annalise Roberts are great resources as well.

Hang in there!

      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.
