Daughter's Ttg Finally Normal!

Hooray! It took two years to get it into the normal range, from over 16x the upper limit of normal at diagnosis. Both DGPs are normal now too. We were stuck at low-positive tTG for a long time.

What finally did it was eliminating several GFCO-certified products that had detectable gluten at levels well under 20ppm. Once we did that, we got her tTG into the normal range within eight weeks. Phew, what a relief! And she is doing great - the difference in her mood with this last decrease in tTG is very noticeable. She's never been this happy in her entire life!

That is awesome! Congratulations!

Would you be willing to share what the products that you eliminated were? There may be others struggling with the same thing.

I think I probably shouldn't say the specific brands, since they're products that are probably fine for most celiacs. But it was two flours and one ground spice, all of which were certified gluten-free but made in shared facilities. They were all things I used on a fairly regular basis, but in quite small amounts. No more shared facilities for any ground/powdery products for us, even if certified!

What does "GFCO-certified" mean?  Thanks... I'm still new at this!

It's the Gluten Intolerance Group's Gluten Free Certification Organization (in the U.S.). They're the ones with the little G F symbol in a circle. Their certification standards are stricter than the FDA's requirement, since they only certify products with less than 10ppm of gluten (and they do test things regularly).

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
