last week was a bad week- got contaminated some how and had an outbreak of DH(ish) on my face, chest, stomach, and back - was miserable for three/four days straight :( on sunday went into NYC with my family for a final fam day before i went back to college-- went into greenwich village to go to Risotteria and Puff&Pao. Risotteria was AMAZING!!!! soooo worth the trip!! the garlic breadsticks on the table are gluten-free!!! have an awesome menu -offers both regular and gluten-free risotto, pizzas, panninis, salads, desserts, and BEER!!!! :D three different types of gluten-free beer!! the food was soo delicious, bread actually tasted like real bread, not gluten-free!!!! i finally felt normal for once eating at a restaurant... it definately perked my spirits after a miserable week. and i met 2 other ppl who have celiac and one of them had DH- it was a great comfortable atmosphere

Puff&Pao was featured on celiacchicks.com -- brownies, cheese puffs, and macaroons- gluten free!!! and it's about a block or 2 from Risotteria

if you are close enough to NYC- go to Risotteria and Puff&Pao --- i can't wait to go back!!!

also check out www.glutenfreerestaurants.org it is very very helpful!

I can't wait until my next trip to NYC to visit friends but mainly to try that restaurant!! I'm jealous, my sister is going there today and I'll be getting a phone call right after her meal is over to get a full account of what she eats!

Also - thanks for that gluten free restaurant link!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
