I have never started a topic, but we are goin to PV for the holidays and I am trying to find other english speaking Celiacs in or around the area - I am desperately going to need help with food while I am there and do not have a clue where to go. I don't speak or read spanish. If anyone who reads this can give me another website to go to or some help, I would really appreciate it. With soo many americans and candians living there, there has got to be SOMEONE with this disease who can give me some pointers! Please source those think tanks of yours and get back to me!

You don't need to speak Spanish to get along in PV, Mexico. That is a highly developed resort area with many people that know the English language/at least enough that you can get your point across as to what your needs are. I went to Nuevo Vallarta, which is just outside PV,last spring for a week with my familiy. My granddaughter has celiac disease and I have a gluten intolerance and we got along just great---my son't family did have a kitchen in their place. We were staying at a time share resort and my husband and I ate out for all of our meals. Some of them we ate off menu and some were are buffets. Stick with fresh fruit and veggies, grilled meats, corn tortillas and just talk to your server to see what is on everything that you order. There is a WalMart with a grocery store in PV....you can go there and buy food to have in your room to supplement. Do not let the food situation hinder that fact that you are in that beautiful place....just go and enjoy the ocean. Barbara

      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?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
