Taco Del Mar

I'm never eating there again. Their website has a "gluten free" list, but it hasn't been updated since 2004! That is 6 years ago! I have emailed them, called them and left messages, and I have never received ONE response! They aren't careful with their food either. I've eaten there a couple times, but never again. Believe it or not, I stopped having seizures after I went gluten free! But after 4 months of no seizures (has never happened, EVER), I started having them again, and the only thing I had changed was we had started eating at Taco Del Mar. It's the only restaurant in our entire town that clamied to have anything gluten free. So, after the seizures came back, I decided to never eat there again. Since then I have had any more but it's only been a few weeks. Anyway, I do not trust a company that won't return calls, won't answer emails, and has an outdated list on their website. I can't wait until we can go to Chipotle!!

That's too bad. Daughter and I used to eat at the one in Woodinville, WA quite a bit. We had no problems there but she has allergies and not celiac. She only ever had two things. The bowl or the tacos. She had the chicken.

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.

      Yes, an IgG panel is the logical next step. However, you would still need to be consuming normal amounts of gluten to ensure valid IgG testing. Since it has only been a week that you have been off gluten, there is still likely time to restore antibodies to detectable levels before the blood draw. IgG antibody tests are not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests but they are certainly valuable in the case of IGA deficiency. They also seem to have a little more "staying power" in the sense of detecting celiac disease in the case of those who may have already started a gluten-free diet as long as they haven't been on it for an extended period of time. But don't rely on that. Get back on gluten if you can possibly endure it if you intend to go forward with IgG testing. This might be helpful:
