Whats this about inflammation? Fish Sauce never really caused me trouble in the past. Regardless I will be sticking to a gluten free diet as I normally do and I guess its back to home made spanikopita for me.

Also to those above talking about health care I'm from Australia so I'm not so worried about increased expenses. 

Sorry for hijacking your post!

Yes, the Canadian article was about disability insurance, and I may be grandfathered into the company health plan (2006). I will check into that because it may make sense to go through Covered California to see if I can get a better deal. 

In any case, I recently checked on the premiums for extending my life insurance, and they would be sky high due to my age, celiac disease, as well as other fairly common and minor issues that are treated, like high cholesterol and slightly high blood pressure.

I will put a article on our list regarding health insurance in the USA.

Yeah, our life insurance is about to expire and we can not afford to extend it as we are old!  Our kid will be done with her undergrad by then  and she is on her own to live or get a Masters.  That was the plan.  Just enough so that we could stay home and regroup if one of us (or both) died, pay off the mortgage or help with college expenses.  Even though we saved for college we had no idea how much more expensive it would be compared to when we went to school.  What a rip off!  (I am talking about the gyms, climbing wall, nice landscaping, etc.)

Seriously check.  You can get Kaiser through Covered California.  Our kid had a Grandfathered plan (cheaper for her own plan that to put her on ours since we just have 1 kid).  Now, she has insurance through the university.  It was just easier in case she need healthcare while living on campus.  But then she came home!

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
