Interesting, thanks for posting! I'm trying to convince a local restaurant chain to come out with a gluten free menu and this could help the cause.

These articles are great I think, when trying to get leverage or convince a restaurant or company of the celiac/gluten-free case. Have you seen the Univ of chicago Celiac fact sheets? I took those to the grocery store I was working with...They have some great stats on Celiac.

I love that fact sheet! I have printed off copies as I think this is good for others to read, too. Puts the whole thing in a perspective that everyone can relate to.

thanks Jen

that is very interesting......but it kinda makes me sick when I think of the price we pay to stay healthy and gluten-free........I often think how can rice flour be so dam expensive>>>>. I know there is more to it than that but gluten-free is not cheap and I truly feel for those who can't afford this and has to endure because of celiac's.

Well, perhaps as time goes on and the demand increases and the products become more common, the prices will drop :) Might be a good time to do some investing the natural food industry....

It is a huge trend that is reshaping, though slowly, the market place. Just last night I attended my first gluten-free support group meeting. It was held at an all gluten-free Italian Gourmet Restaurant. They were even willing to share the ingredients. It was the best meal I have had in over a week and talk about tons of pastas and even breaded chicken and fish --ummmmmmm

Thanks for sharing this, I believe I will send some of the local markets off to this website!

Hi Deborah, what restaurant was it? Thanks!

Deborah, cool restaurant. And spread the info around. When I was meeting the grocery, I also took in an article on Walmart and their gluten-free labeling...another 'trend-setter', although I'm not a huge fan of them :) But we can still use their decisions to influence!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa
