Welcome to the forum, @max it!

By "one celiac marker" do you refer to a genetic marker or a blood antibody test result?

hi Ya Trent, I really like my gastroenterologist; he mentioned it casually. maybe he thought I knew it. These tele appointments are good for getting to the point. I think he used the marker word. I will ask. PTL.

Hello, Jeff and yes, PTL! The word "marker" is typically used in connection with gene testing but gene testing is not usually where testing for celiac disease starts. It usually starts with blood work looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. The most popular antibody test ordered by doctors is the tTG-IGA test but there are others. Here is an overview:

Do you have access to your medical record/test results online?

What is your next step with this? I assume you are not yet eating gluten free.

Not to eat or drink certain ones of what? Do you know what it is specifically you are trying to avoid when you eat? I kind of get the feeling you don't really understand much of this celiac thing.

Hi, yes I don't. Dr. Who delivered the message said that since I had one marker it wasn't important.

That may or may not be true, depending on what that one marker is. Can you ask him specifically what that one marker is and post back about it?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
