I keep going in chat and not finding anyone but me to talk to. So, tomorrow at 3 pm central, be there if you can.

 

Subject:  Coping with Celiac Disease.   Whatever about it.

 

Edited, because I need to take the children to gym at 1, although, if I can I will check at 1 since I made the error.  I also can't change the subject.

I don't do well with the chat feature....but someone save me a cupcake -- which I will carefully freeze for when I get such treats back...hmmm.. i wonder how those freshly baked bagels from mariposa bakery in sf are doing in deep freeze? 

 

Sorry Diana - Shroomie and Karen mentioned sweet treats and my mind went wandering.....

I better just have water  and there isn't too much chance of cross contamination?  Go ahead and make your favorite cupcakes, though and (Barring discussion about it) I will never have to know!  I just got a recipe for cupcakes, I printed it off, and expect that I will be able to use it one day.

 

Lisa, and whoever else is having thoughts about sweet treats.  It is okay mentioning it just now.  Sweet treats aren't even sounding good.

 

If anyone cares to talk by Skype some day.  I have it, but need my children to help me with it!  I hope it wouldn't be urgent.

 

I have some strawberries Perhaps we could share those?

I got out of the gym.  I will plan to be there at both 1 and 3 pm central time.  If nobody is there, I will leave after 15 minutes.

 

And yes 1pm Pacific.

Yes, four of us did.  I recommend the idea of posting a "meeting" like this in the future.  Having a certain topic could be a good thing.  Having a super-sensitive group, or decades undiagnosed group, or possibly a group of people home during the day could be fun.  A  question time for Newbies, perhaps?  I am not volunteering for that one.  I think I would scare everyone away with my current can't eat list.    My personal favorite might be a group that comes from an alternative medicine group!

 

I am still looking for Dr. Phil, in order for him to tell me that my symptoms are all in my head and I can return to normal diet.  After all, I have only had 3 doctors confirm my celiac!  Somehow, I doubt that will happen for me.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
