Well...since my celiac diagnosis I have now also been diagnosed with a dairy intolerance....oh the humanity of it all....

 

i really struggle with with breakfast as I am a clean eater.

typically, I will have a protein shake or scrambled eggs with veg.

i am soooo bored with breakfast as I cannot have cheese or yogurt... Any suggestions on what to have for breakfast? :)

Frittata?  Mushrooms with a side of salsa or a poached egg on top.  Sautéed tomatoes, steamed spinach and bacon? Coconut yoghurt (non dairy) with some seeds/safe grains, fresh fruit?  Fruit compote? Porridge made with rice/quinoa flakes?

Not sure precisely what clean eating rules out? Could you have a non lactose yogurt? There are soya based ones here in the UK, although in another thread someone warned me off Soy!

I see you have scrambled egg with veg. I rotate fresh fruit and yogurt and the occasional gluten-free cereal or bread as a treat, but omelettes are my go to breakfast food. It's a good way to incorporate lots of vegetables and protein because you can mix and match the fillings depending on what you've got in or fancy.  Avocado, Kale, Spinach, Onions, Mushrooms, Peppers, Chicken, Bacon etc. etc.  I add fresh coriander or parsley too. When I get bored of that I make egg bhurji, although you may not want all those spices if you're stomach is delicate! I'm also thinking about this: Open Original Shared Link next time I'm bored.

  I read from another person that they couldn't have raw dairy, but hard cheese didn't upset them...  Not sure since I wouldn't expect protein to change from milk to cheese.  I'm starting to suspect I have a dairy issue as well...  I also read that sometimes celiacs can return to dairy after they've healed a bit?  But, I've also read that sometimes you can develop issues also.. hard to keep track.

You are talking about lactose intolerance.  It is the sugar in dairy.  Many adults, Celiac or not, cannot digest the lactose.  For a Celiac, the part of the villi damaged by Celiac produces the enzyme that digests this sugar.  When your villi heal, you may regain the ability to digest this sugar.  You may not, because many adults don't make that enzyme.  Some adults may produce varying amounts  of lactase (the enzyme), and that may allow them to digest small amounts of lactose (the sugar).  Hard cheeses usually have very lactose so many people can digest them fine.

Buckwheat cereal is what I go to a lot.  Oats may or may not be ok with you.  If you go to a gluten free store there are lots of gluten free cereal options.  Instead of cow's milk there is almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, hemp milk, soy milk.

I usually have sautéed yellow peppers, kale (or spinach) mushrooms as a base.  Then throw in some leftovers like baked sweet potato, or chicken chunks, add an egg and call it a breakfast!

      Possibly. Your total IGA (Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum) is actually high so you are not IGA deficient. In the absence of IGA deficiency, the most reliable celiac antibody test would be the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA for which your score is within normal range. There are other things besides celiac disease that might cause an elevated DGP-IGA (Deamidated Gliadin Abs, lgA) for which you do have a positive score. It might also be of concern that your total IGA is elevated as that can indicate some other health problems, some of which are serious.  Had you been practicing a gluten free or a reduced gluten free diet prior to the blood draw? Talk to your physician about these things. I would also seek an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for damage to the villous lining, which is the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease.

      Test results as follows: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, lgA 40 H (normal range 0-19) Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 4 (0-19) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA <2 (0-3) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG <2 (0-5) Endomysial Antibody IgA Negative (Negative) Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 535 H (87-352) Do I have celiac?

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back? I saw the GI today, she was great. She says I def have an issue with gluten and that my symptoms align more with celiac disease than NCGS, so she's doing the genetic testing, Ordered a test for SIBO but said that's just to cover all bases, she doesn't think I have that. If the blood work comes back negative for the genes, then I will cancel the endoscopy. If positive, I will try the 2 week gluten challenge and get the endoscopy done. If I can't manage the gluten challenge (I had HORRIBLE symptoms last time and quit after 12 days) then we'll just assume it's celiac disease and go from there. She says she does a full nutrient panel on all her pts every year, that was nice to hear.I'm on so many supplements it would be nice to only have to get the ones I truly need! so yeh, really anxious about the test results for the genes!! I have an identical twin sister so I'd need to tell her if it's positive, she'd prob want to get tested too. *interesting note: when I said if the blood work comes back that I don't have the genes, then I'm in the clear - she said, well,,,,,,not necessarily. But she didn't want to go into as we had a lot to go over. I did make a  mental note of that comment and will ask her when I see her next time.   she was very thorough! I was impressed! she even checked- up on some lab work I had done that my Endo ordered. I like her, I am looking forward to seeing her again. I think I'll get some good advice and info from her she also complimented me on my diet.   said it was a very gut friendly and healthy diet

      I'm not sure why "colonoscopy" keeps coming up for you, again it would be an endoscopy to diagnose celiac disease, but it seems that Kaiser should still have your records. If you were diagnosed by them in the 1990's using a blood test and endoscopy, then you definitely have celiac disease, and hopefully you've been gluten-free since that time. You should be able to contact Kaiser for those records.

      This sounds like a GP who is ignorant regarding coeliac disease. The risk with consuming gluten for several days is that it triggers the coeliac immune response, leading to raised auto-antibodies and active disease for several months. People may not even be aware of symptoms during this process, but it is causing damage to the body. As trents has said, the gut lining normally recovers on a strict gluten-free diet, and this happens much faster in children than in adults.
