I've been confused about this for awhile now.

If tTG in blood is positive its highly indicitive of Celiac...right?

If tTG is positive in stool (Enterolab)...what is that indicitive of? Many of the people with positive tTG don't have a celiac gene. <_<

I sill don't get it. :huh:

I don't know, but I posted yesterday about a study that reports that TTG isn't as specific as they used to think it was. People with IBD, were also showing positives on the ttg test...

The tTG is still a very specific one for celiac...that should not be the only test done though but is highly specific because it detects damage. The other tests in the panel should accompany it though.

The tTG in stool would most likely indicate damage to the intestines....I am thinking that this can be found in people without the celiac gene but with the intolerance if it has gone a long time untreated.

There has been debate but I think that gluten intolerance(gene or not) can turn into celiac if not taken care of..it makes sense. My guess is untreated gluten intolerance over time caused damage which would make the tTG level show up due to damage.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By Aphrodite · Posted

      I’ve been using almond flour from nuts.com for over 10 years. I have dermatitis herpetiformis all over. The rash started about two months ago. I finally eliminated the almond flour, labeled certified gluten free, two weeks ago, and I think the dermatitis herpetiformis is finally healing. I am so bummed.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Michael P · Posted

      Thank you for the reply  , I have tried the Baush & Lomb brand and did have a gluten reaction.  O spoke to the mfg and they state the same as many other mfgs.   - NO Gluten intentionally added to product , but they have no control ( they choose not to) over their suppliers of various ingredients  I am really trying to only take vitamins  that clearly state gluten free

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum.  Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary--wine and other alcoholic beverages might also fit in here. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
