Hi Vydorscope,

I'm really sorry you didn't get the results you wanted.

I really empathize with your comment about not feeling better off gluten, but feeling worse on it! I know when first I tried not eating gluten I felt great the first week, then things got much more complicated, and it's only now, about 8 months in, that I'm really feeling well again.

You were already an old hand on the board when I started reading here. Maybe I missed your story, but I've noticed you never talk about what problems you're hoping to sort out with a diagnosis. I think some problems take longer to sort out that others. and maybe after a good long gluten-free trial you would have your answers. At least you've done your best to rule out other problems.

Best wishes,

Matilda

Matlida... old hand? Hmm you jioned the board a MONTH befor me, so what does that make YOU? :lol::lol:

You know, it is very interesting to read this board. When people say the test results are in with a frown face, you don't know if it is because the results were positive in which case they have a disease which will really change their lifestyle for life, or are frowning because the test is negative which means they know no more than when they started and they have nothing they can do to relieve their symptoms. It is just odd when you think about it.

I am in the same boat. I don't know if I want them to finally diagnose me as celiac or not! It would be good to know once and for all, but oh what a change it would mean.

It says :

t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA < 1

Thats it for celiac disease.

EDIT: tehres a page of other tests, but all normal.

None of the other tests are for celiac?

Then that result is TOTALLY useless. I can't even begin to fathom why they bothered. If you're IgA deficient, as many celiacs are, then a low tTg IgA tells you *nothing*. They need to run the other tests as well.

Sigh... I'm sorry they screwed up the testing. :(

They siad thats the ONLY test the insurance company will pay to run. My only other option would be the York Labs route for $99. I might call them later and see if they got any supplies in yet. But probably wont. Ive been gluten-free 2 weeks now I think... eversince that blood test was taken.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
