Colleen,  here I sit  in Pittsburgh, Pa  thinking  not much here to offer a gluten-free  person!.. I do like  the  Raisin Rack in Canton..... & Columbus  has a big Whole Foods not  that  WF has  a lot  of  gluten-free....We also like  Jungle Jim's  in Cinnci....

Do you know  of any  extra tasty  gluten-free  restaurants  in  Columbus? Don't  know  if  you live  in that area....

I really don't know of any.  I only head to Columbus for Dr. Appts. at OSU.  I'm an hour north.  On facebook, look up the Gluten Free Gang (GIG) Ohio.  These peeps know everything gluten-free in Columbus and Surrounding areas.  I'm in a relatively small town that has nothing gluten-free to offer outside of the grocery stores which I'm ok with because I dread leaving the house...lol.  You can find me on FaceBook also, I'm a member of "The Gang".

Hi Colleen  I'm not on fb...  I  do have  the places  "the gang"  suggests  just  thought  you may  know  of  newer  ones....I don't  sit  in a big  gluten-free  mecca  area either.... so  while  I'm in a  big  city  I  buy  lots of things  I  can't  find  else  where...

We  don't  have  stores  like  Anderson's  , Jungle  Jim's, meyer's  so  it is a treat  to  check them  out for  things  other  than  gluten-free  food  ....we have  small Whole Foods  about an hour  away...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
