I'm not certain but if you were saying you are self diagnosed - I don't think so. You were medically diagnosed by blood and biopsy. I am sorry your family are being such jerks. Maybe if you told them how you feel? Maybe if you reminded the hub about how much gluten-free Mac and cheese costs? I cook what I want to eat so they usually eat gluten-free. Last night we had burgers, Ore Ida oven fries and cantelope. They had their burgers on Wheat buns. I don't care about a bun, so I ate mine with a fork.

Maybe a family meeting is in order? Armed with copies of your test results and some articles on Celiac Disease? With a friend or Pastor there for support? Get them to come up with ideas on how to keep you safe?

I'm sorry you have no support.  :(  Perhaps start doing the grocery shopping and only buy gluten-free foods?  If it is not in the house it will be harder for them to eat it around you.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
