There's a decent article about celiac disease in the latest issue of Good Houskeeping magazine (August). I had read the content on a web site before I think, must be a reprint, but it's good and mentions the many different symptoms etc.

I am hoping to write a letter to the editor thanking them for the article and/or mentioning that you don't need to be skinny to have it, yada yada the usual stuff, just something to get some publicity into a second issue.

Glad to see this in a mainstream magazine!

(But it sure is funny/ironic that the cover has Rachael Ray and a photo of a bowl of pasta on it...) :)

my mom just called me about it today, i still have to read it...she got her copy before me. but she was so thrilled with the article that she is passing it on to the nurse managers she works with in the birthing dept at the hospital so they can be on the look out for symptoms in the pregnant women, and/or the women trying to get pregnant :)

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
