someone please correct me if I am wrong, but aren't a lot of products on Clan Thompson of British origin or Canadian and won't be of value to those in USA?

I thought that was why Gluten Guard system was best for those in USA...

I don't know. I haven't used Clan Thompsons database before. I just received that in an e-mail from our support group leader, so I thought I'd share.

The reason I am asking is because I am on the "fence" on this - which one to select....

I was under the understanding that Clan Thompson was America and therefore no good to Canadians.

hmmmmm, I wonder what/which is so.....is Clan USA or Brit or Canadian based? I would sure hate to purchase the system/service and get little use out of it.....Anyone else weigh in on this?

It seems to be an American company that, now says they have a Canadian list also.

call your credit card company and see if a "hold" has been put on your account and the amount. Then you can ascertain if you did the wrong thing.

If you did, then when charge is first on your account, again call daily to see when the "hold" is a firm "charge" quickly get in touch with Clan T. to work it out with them. Maybe this will work.

The confusion may be because Clan Thompson has 2 versions of the SmartList-- 1 for Canada and 1 for the USA. Clan Thompson is a family-owned business based in Maine. ALL products in the USA version of their SmartList software are available in USA stores. Both the Canadian and the USA versions are clearly marked USA or Canada on the product pages. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding about Clan Thompson's SmartList software.

      False tTG3 Test?

      Thanks! I don't think it was a total IGA test, it was called "Array 3X - Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity" and it tested a bunch of wheat proteins and transglutaminase for both IgG and IGAs.

      False tTG3 Test?

      Welcome to the forum, @SB04! Let's cut to the chase. Did they run a tTG-IGA and a total IGA? Total IGA goes by many names but it checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing. Dermatitis herpetiformis...

      False tTG3 Test?

      Hi all, about a year ago I had some blood tests done through a naturopath because I had constant hives and no idea why. They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I know I'm late to the party, but I thought these articles are very interesting. Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms. Thiamine deficiency is linked to Long haulers syndrome, too. I had palpitations that only resolved with thiamine Vitamin B 1 supplementation. Association of vitamin B1 with cardiovascular diseases...

      Curious if I should quit my job

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services? There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans. Look into trade schools. Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion. Some scholarships are funded...

If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing.  Dermatitis herpetiformis is the epidermal expression of celiac disease. Most who have dermatitis herpetiformis also have damage happening to the small bowel lining as well but a small percentage do not. But dermatitis herpetiformis has a characteristic appearance to it, with the rash bumps having pustules in the center. It is also accompanied by a very uncomfortable itch. From...

They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test too, that tested for wheat iggs, igas and several other things, among which were Transglutaminases. The only one that came up as high for me was the tTG3 igg result, which shows an autoimmune response in the skin, commonly dermatitis herpetiformis in celiac patients. I was told it was gluten causing it but not celiac. Fast forward to now, I...

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services?   There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans.   Look into trade schools.  Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion.  Some scholarships are funded by employers looking for specifically trained employees. Choose a career path in something you enjoy doing.   I agree with @Scott Adams.  Play your cards close to your chest.  Get your ducks in a row before discussing leaving the gluten aisle where you work now.  Managers can and will fire you really easily, like Scott...
