You may not know it... But I come here every single day and read posts.  Its like you are all my secret rock. Even in the midst of pregnancy, it is better for me here because you all understand.  Youre so giving and helpful with your advice and opinions. I could probably do all of this on my own but being here has reduced my stress, worry and anxiety SO MUCH.  I realize I am now an over emotional ball of hormones right now but I would love to huggy squeeze each and every one of you. You are my internet ROCK!

 

Gah... I would love to gush and gush and gush about how much you mean to me.  Strangers I do not even ACTUALLY know.. and so what? *HUGSLIKECRAZY*

 

XOXOXOXOOXOX

Glad the board is helpful to you. I think we have a pretty good bunch of folks here. My 1st 2 years on the diet would have been sooooo much easier if I had found this place then. Even after all these years I still find it a helpful place for info.

Yep. I felt (and still feel) the same way. If it weren't for the wonderful people here I would have given up or gone crazy. And I am still here for two reasons - to pay it forward, and like Raven, I am STILL learning new stuff after almost four years.

This board has been a HUGE help to me too, and I'm so grateful. I'm really touched by the generosity of those who have come a long way in the journey and come back to help those of us who are just starting. Even though I don't post every day, I too come to visit every day. You guys are the best! Thank you again for being there for us newbies.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      The IGA TTG (aka, TTG-IGA) is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. A high value in this test indicates probable celiac disease, though there are other reasons (some other diseases, some medications and in some cases, even some non-gluten foods that can cause it to be elevated. And it is not unusual at all for other celiac antibody tests...

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Thanks that's what I didn't know about soy hidden with wheat. I know it's autoimmune but want sure about sensitivity to corn or eggs. There's no tests for these which are non gluten is there? I have had gluten free tortillas pastas made with corn and have had eggs so I don't think it bothers me but I was curious if there was a test that does sure sensitivities...

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      And of course I get these results (the ttg iga marked high at 646 mg/dL) on a Friday in my portal, my doctor wasn't in, and now we are in the weekend—leaving me to have to try and figure things out on my own until sometime next week. None of the nurses at the office would talk to me.

      The IGA TTG (aka, TTG-IGA) is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. A high value in this test indicates probable celiac disease, though there are other reasons (some other diseases, some medications and in some cases, even some non-gluten foods that can cause it to be elevated. And it is not unusual at all for other celiac antibody tests to be normal when the TTG-IGA is high. Normally, when the TTG-IGA is elevated, the physician will order an upper GI with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage characteristic of celiac disease. The biopsy is then sent out for microscopic analysis. This is to confirm the results of the blood testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test. You should not begin a gluten free diet until the endoscopy/biopsy is complete. This is very important because otherwise the results will be invalidated.  This article on celiac disease blood antibody tests might be helpful to you while you are waiting for feedback from the physician:
