burp..'scuse me. It's the bane of my existence, this burping :angry: .

I'm new here because a friend heard about Celiac disease on public radio and thought the symptoms sounded eeerily familiar to what I've been whining about for four years! The doctors merely patted me on the shoulder and said, 'you've developed a tic'..GAAAA

sO, I'm trying to go gluten-free and see what happens. Glad to find you guys! (and if someone can tell me how to unclick being anonymous, I'd appreciate it. I can't seem to find it) Thanks

Welcome to the world of reading labels and asking friends what they put in a casserole! It may seem overwhelming, but it is much better than feeling sick all the time.

I grew up in nortwest Louisiana, (Bienville Parish, went to school at NSU) my siblings (2 celiac, all 6 hypoglycemic) are still there. I live in Maryland now.

Be really careful of fried foods, because so many of them (especially in Louisiana) are breaded - okra, shrimp, fish, wild game, pork chops - you doubtless can name more). When in doubt - DON'T EAT IT. Unfortunately, gravies and sauces are pretty much gone. I can check with my sisters and get you some names of gastros who treat celiac, if that will help. Try to keep in mind that, as lousy as a celiac diagnosis may be, it is something that we can handle without medication, we are completely in charge of what we put in our mouths, and it is a small price to pay for feeling human again. Best of luck and Godspeed.

      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.

      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.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      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!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.):
