The poll isn't working, so I'll just post:

1 Negative blookwork

2 Negative biopsy

3 Positive gene test

4 Positive dietary response

I also was positive on the Enterolab stool tests. I had been gluten free before the blood tests and biopsy and don't think they were accurate. Not to mention that I get severely ill for weeks following accidental gluten exposure!

I didn't actually vote using the buttons, because I don't seem to fit the categories, lol.

I was actually "diagnosed" by Enterlab as Gluten Intolerant and Casein Intolerant. I have seen positive response to the diet and have one of the main genes predisposing one to Celiac (along with any number of stressful events in recent years to act as a trigger), so I have put the pieces together myself.

My son was diagnosed by positive bloodwork and positive biopsy.

I cannot say that there has been a positive dietary response. He has gained 2 lbs in the last five months and seems a bit happier, but certainly still has crazy mood swings (occasionally brought on by having a big brother who likes to push his buttons). He had no "obvious" symptoms from consuming gluten. He was only tested for Celiac because of low iron levels, and the liquid iron wasn't really bringing his levels up. He is the only one in our immediate family with Celiac, and of our extended family only my Mom was tested, and she doesn't have it either.

Biopsy and positive response to a gluten-free diet when I was a baby. Then at about age 4, the doctors thought I had outgrown it so they put me back on a regular diet. For the next 35 years, no one ever told me I had been DX'd with celiac disease.

In my 40's, I finally figured out what celiac disease was and started the diet on my own. Don't know if that counts as a second DX or not.

Thanks for all your responses. Don't know why I can't figure out the new poll function. Best, B

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, that's probably best. (Honestly, that is an extraordinarily high number, I've never seen anything like that. I repeated my blood tests (not taken while pregnant BTW); before giving up cake, pizza, and beer, I wanted to know for sure! You don't wanna mess around with anything while pregnant. Congratulations and best of luck!

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?

      @plumbago on my blood tests I got 4500 and normal should be between 25-30 but they wanted me to continue eating gluten until a endoscopy was done and also biopsies taken. I’ve took it upon myself to cut gluten out today based on the research I’ve done about it during pregnancy

      If you tested positive for celiac on labwork, I would definitely give up gluten.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      I have Celiac and had a bad reaction to the regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles.  The baked ones in this flavor are apparently marked gluten-free, but watch out for the regular ones.  I wish I would have seen a post like mine, instead of one that was specifically referring to the baked chips from my google search, before I pulled the trigger.  Hopefully some day they'll require gluten disclosure on the ingredients, not just "wheat."
