A place to get away and get to help with diet, anxiety, etc. done by professionals.

I wish, I dreamed I once worked at a Celiac half way house kind of thing. Be nice to have a place like that, you know teaches the diet, how to cook, nutritional classes, etc. There are camps for kids, like gluten free summer camps.

Me too.   Especially also for a single person like myself and who rarely cooked before diagnosed.  I think it would be very useful and probably save the insurance companies a lot of money in the long run by reducing the doctors visits, urgent care stops, and medicines they prescribed.

I don't know where you live but Whole foods has gluten-free cooking classes & sometimes a grocery tour.  We have a grocery here that offers different allergy cooking classes and a dietitian you can make an appointment with to tour the store and get recipes.  I have seen other places that offer cooking classes for gluten-free, vegan, etc.  You might find some sort of retreat/vacation place that is gluten-free - probably vegan, too - Like a yoga or wellness retreat.

All 100% gluten free!  ?

Seriously, I would love to go to an adult celiac camp.  No luck.   No time this year, but I will be on that gluten-free cruise in the future!

Not a celiac retreat.   But might be something I will do!  Thanks for this.   I spent a day for work in Prague.   Went to Mustek area for dinner....not diagnosed at the time.    Cool area to visit.   Ya, you might see me there.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
