I Think I Made The Watch List...

So I went to Kroger to do some grocery shopping, and saw they had their store brand Gluten Free pasta in sale (only 20 cents off, but it adds up!). I grabbed 15 of them, finished shopping, and when I paid, I still had more money left in my grocery budget....so I bought the last 7 on the shelf. And since I'm a cheap person would do, I went back inside to customer service and got a rain check for the sale price since they were out on the shelf.

Thanks a lot....... I promised my baby boy pasta for dinner and the Kroger was all out. :(

Lol - just joking with you! But... You know the pasta sauce for all those will cost you $44?

Georgia-guy Enthusiast

How do you figure that it will cost me $44 for the sauce? I've got my ways...also known as sales, and oil based sauce, or just a nice big bowl of butter noodles. :-)

LOL!  That was sneaky to go back and get a rain check.  However, I would do the same thing.  gluten-free stuff on sale?  Heck yeah!

 

One of the best sauces is a pat of butter, some starchy pasta water, garlic, and some Parmesan.  Especially good on flavorful veggies.

The bad thing is the cashier whose line I normally go to was off and doing her shopping, and looked at me as I was at customer service saying I need the rain check and asked me "didn't you just buy all of those??"

Melt some butter. Squeeze a bunch of fresh garlic into it. Saute some mushrooms into it. Put a bunch of shredded cheese on your pasta and then pour the butter/garlic/mushrooms on top. WAY better than spaghetti sauce.

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.

      Yes, an IgG panel is the logical next step. However, you would still need to be consuming normal amounts of gluten to ensure valid IgG testing. Since it has only been a week that you have been off gluten, there is still likely time to restore antibodies to detectable levels before the blood draw. IgG antibody tests are not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests but they are certainly valuable in the case of IGA deficiency. They also seem to have a little more "staying power" in the sense of detecting celiac disease in the case of those who may have already started a gluten-free diet as long as they haven't been on it for an extended period of time. But don't rely on that. Get back on gluten if you can possibly endure it if you intend to go forward with IgG testing. This might be helpful:
