Youngest Daughter Diagnosed

My youngest daughter who is 19 was diagnosed last week with gluten intolerance...she refuses to be scoped but with my diagnoses and genes, I am not asking her too. Anyway she came home last night with a huge hive on her cheek and I said, "what did you eat?" She told me that she went to pizza hut with her boyfriends family because it was his moms birthday. She ate a salad thinking it would be okay. Well the boyfriends mom comes over and holds a peice of pizza over my daughters plate and scoops off the toppings saying you can eat this. My daughter then, not wanting to hurt her feelings (and the toppings looked wonderful) went ahead and ate it! I only have her home a couple more weeks until she heads back to college, I feel like we have a TON of stuff to cover before she leaves!

Yea you do have a lot to cover. She needs to make her health more important than being 'nice and polite'. I hope she doesn't get to awful sick. You may want to have her visit us here also. Sometimes hearing things from others goes over better than hearing stuff from Mom. I know with my own young adults I don't know anything. :D

wow that is so hard! I am 23 and it would be impossible to deal with people if I wasn't outspoken and loud. I honestly couldn't imagine being 19 and fresh into college AND having to deal with celiac. I am sending her good vibes and wishing her the best. She'll learn to be more assertive, it just takes time :)

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

      Very true. I also suffered from candidiasis which had affected my intestines and toes. I think this might have triggered my gluten intolerance/celiac.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Jesmar! The HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genes were the original halotypes identified with the potential to develop celiac disease. Since then, other genes have been discovered that apparently afford a predisposition to celiac disease. As is always the case, these new discoveries are not yet common knowledge and not yet widely dispersed in the medical community. It is not genetically as black and white as we once thought.
