Is there any way to combine some of these categories. I feel that a lot of info in different categories is related, but I don't have time to look through each one.

Feel free to make suggestions. Which categories would you combine?

Take care

Hmm. Maybe you could combine ingredients with products and shopping. Treatment/recovery with medications and post diagnosis. baking with recipes. Publications and publicity with research. you get the idea. also, maybe you could put all of the travel and goreign categories next to one another and all of the for _____ only categories together. You know, keep them as separate categories, but just have them next to one another with perhaps a thick, dividing line between the subgroups of categories. www.myfordfocus.com has a similar message board broken down like that. Check it out.

Just my $0.02.

This is good advice and I will consider some of these suggestions.

Take care,

I'm a fan of the many separate categories myself, and you can save some time when looking at new posts by selecting "view new posts" in the upper right section of the window on the same bar that says who you're logged in as. It'll show only threads that have new posts since the last time you visited. (You do need to be logged in for this.)

I'm also strongly in favor of many categories...it's difficult with message boards that have a general category and then only one or two others...not organized enough...and like Tiffany said, you can just view new posts...that's what I do

Yes, I like many categories too. I like the way we have it now. If you don't have time to go through all of them then view new posts or todays active posts can save time.

I like it just the way it is. View New Posts takes me to posts I haven't read since the last time I was on. It is very easy for me to navigate the board!

      Welcome to the forum, @Babygirl877! You may find that your gastritis and your gastroparesis improve once you begin following a gluten free diet consistently. But to arrive at consistency in eating gluten free can involve a real learning curve. This might help:

      Decreasing tTiga?

      Hello and welcome, Could you please publish the reference ranges for each test, including tTG-IgA and the endomysial antibodies? When your daughter had her endoscopy, was she eating gluten? I agree with your position, I would not want to subject her to another endoscopy and biopsy. It sounds like your doctor is saying that since her tiredness is...

      @ErinV, from you first post: " Her doctor’s office recently changed EMRs so I can’t remember the exact numbers of all her other blood tests, but I know she was positive for both genetic markers." But then you say in your most recent post, "We’ve all tested and neither of us, nor my other daughter have the genetic markers for it." Those two statements are in direct contradiction to one another. Where did she get the genes for potential celiac disease then?

      Hi- thanks for the reply. Happy to give more information. No one in my family or the fathers family has celiacs. We’ve all tested and neither of us, nor my other daughter have the genetic markers for it.    these are what the lab results say: Endomysial Antibody Titer- Normal value: <1:5 titer.  Hers were at 1:10 the past 3 times and then this time it came back on her portal as just “negative” Her platelets this time came back at 451, and the normal range is 150-400. They have been in the normal range the past three times. Tissue Transglutaminase Ab-  <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected Her Value 76.1 this time. 8 months ago it was 140, 6 months before that it was 120 and the time before that it was 72. From what I’ve read and from the doctor, this is the most specific test for celiac and what we should focus on the most. 76 is still extremely high, but why did it decrease when nothing in her diet has changed?

      Hello and welcome, Could you please publish the reference ranges for each test, including tTG-IgA and the endomysial antibodies? When your daughter had her endoscopy, was she eating gluten? I agree with your position, I would not want to subject her to another endoscopy and biopsy. It sounds like your doctor is saying that since her tiredness is not new that there's no real health status change. Personally, I don't like that assessment, and I would question it. From the bits you have posted, it does look like she has Celiac, but I would want to see a more comprehensive panel. It's good you've continued doing the blood tests, and are in general staying on top of it. (Are there others in either your family or the child's father's family that have had Celiac?) People without Celiac do not test positive, regardless of the level. Other moderators on this board may have more up to date information than I do, but I think that's still true. Plumbago
