Hey, guys, My name is Bonnie and I'm 19. I just got started on this forum and omg is it confusing. Anyway, I live in Chicago and I just wanted to meet celiacs my age from my area or throughout the country. I've been diagnosed for 8 years, went to camp celiac in RI for two years, and I just attended the CSA conference in Virginia last weekend where I helped out with their new teen program. Someone from there suggested that I get started on this and post a message. I would have a picture, but for some reason it said i wasn't able to post a personal picture. Anyway, feel free to reply and talk to me. (maybe you can help me out on how to use this message board). :D

Hi, I'm Jackie and I'm fourteen years old. I'm a bit younger than most people here, but I like it. It's pretty easy to figure out, don't worry.

Hi Bonnie!

My name is Monica, and I'm 21. The board is a lot less intimidating once you get used to it (kinda like celiac disease itself). It's nice to "meet" you, and feel free to message me.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
