Sacramento Bee

Despite the fact that celiac disease impacts one per cent of Canadians, and up to six per cent being gluten sensitive, the gluten-free diet has gained popularity as celebrity 'authorities' and those promoting fad diets make unfounded weight loss claims.

This is a press release from what traces back to the wheat lobby pushing changes in the school lunch program so they can continue to get U.S. Federal Ag subsidies and have product placement in a captive market.

By the way, there goes Shelley Case, "registered dietician" again, trying to have her status as "the" gluten free expert and pushing the wheat-eating at the same time. <_<

That was titled at the SacBee to a press release, btw, from the "Healthy Grains Institute" which is an alleged non profit. (which is seeking funding from entities like Cargill ? get real) I am having trouble with the google search engine on finding a website for this "HGI," the only thing I've found is a pdf download from the "grainsforhealth.org" which details their yearly meeting, which, when studied, shows they are just another wheat lobby trying to get more wheat into schoolchildren under the guise of it is going to be "healthier," see here:

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
