So while I need an initial 30k to finance the food truck, then have heavy overhead, a very strict health inspector the has it out for food trucks keeping me from daily vending in town (next town over is nice), seasonal sales, and tons of permits and regulations. I was approached with a different concept by someone. A mobile video gaming trailer via a franchise what will provide support and booking, this would not need the extra permits, very limited overhead, and only require I raise 14K to stMay Update 2019
Well, may is Celiac Awareness month lol, so I am offering discounts at markets I am setting up at this month. I can say I am needing to adjust pricing some, I am getting $3 on an Omelet on a stick (Turkey Bacon or Sausage in the center with eggs cooked on it served on a stick) I am thinking of upping to $4 each and $5 at events. My Stir Fry is getting great reviews from those who try it, but it is a bad product price wise. I need to get $10-12 each to turn a good profit but am selling for $6-7.New GI Doc
Well, I saw a new PCP about a month ago, completely useless, and then charged me a ridiculous co-pay I could not even afford (I got out of this on a technicality on their part). Anyway, he just heard my issues and got me an appointment with a GI doc. I saw the GI doc yesterday told him of my issues and the random daily cowpie like BMs on and off I have been having since a gluten exposure in August. He got me arranged for dual scope next week. The best thing is I only have to pay a $60 co-pay. FFrankenstein the brownie recipe
To Frankenstein, a dish in the name of experimenting is quite common with food. I recently did something with funny results and lessons learned I think some might find amusing. So my concept was to make a gluten-free soft moist brownie and sugar-free. I have done this with thick nut butter like sunbutter before, and iffy results with thinner ones. But I wanted something moister, so I had some avocados >.>. Yeah this is where the Frankenstein reference comes from. But bit of a heads upEaster Roast
Just realized I messed up on the easter roast a bit. My chef side was like, Rub the meat with 6 cloves of garlic and some sprigs of thyme and olive oil and let marinate for 24 hours, set to room temp then oven 275F 3 hours with celery, beef stock, and onions and finish 350F with the potatoes, and carrots 1 hour, let the meat set on plate strain the broth, simmer in saucepan to reduce and thicken with coconut flour or egg yolk and stir with rosemary sprig.

Well, I had something really odd happen yesterday. I woke up took my meds, worked out, downed my green shot of powdered kale, moringa, and chlorella mix up. Then a few mins later felt dizzy and nauseated and felt the need to cough something up and up came a whole bunch of blood, slime like mucus, and some of the green liquid. Throat felt bad, and I found it burns when I take salty foods. Seems like I managed to rupture something in my throat from working out?

This is a good and simple meat dish, I came up with this variation as something with flavor but no harsh spices and easy on the gut.

Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Amiah!
First of all, you would do well to post your question in one of the appropriate community forums rather than in a blog. It will get more attention that way.
Now as to your question, there are some other things that can cause elevated igg antibodies besides celiac disease. Various infections, mostly. For instance, candida albicans. But the odds are it is nascent celiac disease and there has not been enough time for damage to the lining of the small bowel to manifest itself.
At this point, it might be wise to trial the gluten free diet and see if her symptoms improve. If they do, she either has celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). The GI symptoms of the two overlap significantly. NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel and does not have an autoimmune component so there are not tests for it yet. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. The other thing you can do is to have genetic testing done to see if she carries either of the two primary genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the population have one or both of the genes but only about 1% of the population develops celiac disease so it is not really a diagnostic test so much as it is a "rule out celiac disease" test.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing this—your story is heartbreaking, powerful, and, unfortunately, far too familiar to many in the celiac community. Being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and blamed for symptoms for decades, only to later discover they were all connected to untreated celiac disease and malabsorption, represents a profound failure of the medical system. The permanent damage you’ve endured underscores how serious nutritional deficiencies can be, especially when they’re repeatedly overlooked or minimized. Your perseverance, self-advocacy, and willingness to use your hard-won knowledge to help others is incredibly meaningful, and I know your voice will resonate with people who are still struggling to be believed or properly diagnosed.
