what do I want to see on the blood tests?
If you have celiac disease, than you would want them to be positive, so that your intestines can heal and so that you can start feeling better on the gluten free diet. The gluten free diet is hard at first, but it gets easier with time. I actually enjoy eating gluten free now and I find that I am very healthy and I'm feeling so much better than I was. Let us know how the tests go.

You are right Vydorscope! I thought I was doing well to be this far along getting tested and I presented only with Anemia in March of this year. Didn't get told to see the GI until Sept. but on second trip there (to disuss test results) he mentioned I MAY have celiac disease. Just found out about someone in Chat. who took 13 years for her dx. I think insurance companies are completely ruining our health care system and in a few years we'll be trying to go overseas for serious help instead of the other way around. I'm sure many will disagree with me but we'll just have to agree to disagree.

The gluten-free diet is hard to get started on. And is typically more expensive when you first start. How ever with time you get used to it, and with time you learn cost cutting ideas such as buying the gluten-free you like in bluk, finding offbrands of mainstream products taht are gluten-free. For exmpale we buy alot of fodd that happens to be gluten-free, thats Kroger brand (store brand). It will just take a little work to get there. And lots fo phone calls to companies, and lots of reading posts here. Once your used it, it becomes second nature and you just do it.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Fighting for a name

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
