I have a hard time accepting that passing G 10-20x's a day is normal. What is normal? Are most of these normal people undiagnosed celiacs? :P Yikes!

Don't know the "norm" for passing gas! :P My grandmother (who just turned 100) has always used the motto "more room out than in" . . . fortunately, that sentiment has not passed down the family tree!

"Walter, the farting dog" sounds as if it is similar to the books "Everyone poops" "Everyone passes gas", etc. I still like the Walter book title better. We call our dog "Count Flatula" :lol:

One I've heard is "better to fart and bear the shame than not to fart and bear the pain!" haha

The thing that finally made me realize I wasn't normal was I heard the average person passes gas 10 times a day! HELL I do that in less than an hour! :o

And the average person's gas paassing doesn't smell like a sulfur bed.

There's a sulfur bed in Lassen National Park called "Bumpass Hell" and the joke for awhile is that my farts smelled like that. Pee- ewwwww! :huh:

An awful lot of undiagnosed celiacs out there. Now that I am gluten-free I have gone from having constant gas and rumbling tummy to almost never having gas, drinking soda is the only offending culprit now. And I eat lots of beans, broccoli and brussel sprouts! Somehow they don't produce gas if not mixed with GLUTEN.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
