Well I decided to cancel my appointment at the Celiac center in Boston. I got a letter in the mail today basically telling me that they bill their appointments as outpatient hospital visits, and not as a dr visit. I called my insurance and I would have to pay a very large deductible and co-insurance on top of my usual copay. So my husband said really...after paying 1000 out of pocket for the Endo and now this..you know you feel better without gluten..so just go with out it.

So thats what Im going to do. Just go off Gluten and see how it goes. Everything came back negative anyway, I would just be repeating it all over again. I am IgA deficient tho and I swear thats why my original GI dr missed it all..but well see. I felt amazing the 3 weeks I was gluten-free and I hope it will work again.

Thanks everyone

By the way, if you are IgA deficient, the Enterolab tests will not work either...(those are some very sensitive tests for gluten intolerance, not celiac, and were developed for testing if patients with microscopic colitis were better off going gluten free)

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
