Hi all! I am a pretty newly diagnosed Celiac, Found out July 2nd. 

 

Are any of you in the Middle Georgia area, Like Warner robins, macon, area? I am looking to meet some gluten free friends! I have only met two other celiacs so far and they live very far away. It would be nice to chat it up with you guys and make some friends that know what I am going through and can give me some advice! 

 

Excited to see if any of you live nearby!!

Hello Kayla!  I was diagnosed a few months ago.  I am in WR!  I have been looking to meet up with other celiacs in the area but until now have had no luck finding a group or even a person.  I was excited to see your post!  Thank you Google search! lol  It would be SO nice to have someone local to talk to who 'gets' it.  To be able to share new gluten-free finds/recipes, share the excitement of good days and complain about the bad things...would be amazing!  I have great support from my husband, but its just not the same thing.

 

Hope to hear from you soon!

Omg!! Dayla! SO hope you get this! I never got notified of your response on here, just logged in today and finally saw it! Hope you are still wanting to meet up! And hope your recovery from celiac damage is going as well as it can be! I would love if you and I could get a meetup group started in the area or something! I am making it my goal to get a group like this in the area up and running, not just for us Celiacs but also for others with food intolerances, food allergies and other autoimmune diseases. Hope to hear from you soon! And sorry that it took so long for me to reply!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
