Hi Kelley,

 

On the upper right corner of your screen is your username, if you click on that you can access your profile, your settings, and clicking "My Content" is a good way to see if there are any replies to things you have posted. When I first navigate to the site every day, I go to my content to see what is new on things I have posted on.

 

To post a new topic, first go to the main page https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/ and click on the category you feel it best fits in.  We can fix that for you, so don't worry too much on that.  Then click on the dark blue "start new topic" button on the upper right hand corner.  Of course, you did this here, but just including the instructions in case you need extra help.  

 

To change things like emails you receive, etc, click on your name in the upper right hand corner, and click on settings.  On the left there are categories of things you can change like email notifications, your info, etc.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
