Hi-o. I'm under my mum's account but i'm going to get my own as soon as i can figure it out. I've been gluten-free since March. I'm also lactose intolerant. I just turned 12 and no one I know has Celiac (well, except for a boy in my grade but I don't really know him and we aren't friends). One of my friends (a pen pal, really) is being tested but she doesn't have her results yet. I'd really like to just be able to talk with kids my own age sometimes about being gluten-free. By the way, my fave ice cream is Turtle Mountain...we get it at WholeFoods and I love Pamela's gluten-free bread mix. It's really REALLY yummy. (especially with raisins and cinnoman...mmm mmm good!) :lol:

Hiya!

My name is Ashley and I'll be 16 in a few months. I'm lactose-introlerant and a Celiac too. Wow! It's amazing you actually have another Celiac in your grade! I'm searching at my highschool to see if there's any other Celiacs out there, but, no luck. Oy, Pamela's bread mix IS the absolute best. If ya need anyone to talk to me, I'm here :) Feel free PM me. I'll be hoping the best for you, it is a hard situation to be in sometimes.

Lol, that'd be great! I love the cake mixes too...tastes just like a chocolate cake to me!

Sure enough! I haven't been able to take lessons yet, but, I really do want to go into the Air Force as a pilot or a doctor. I'm praying for a waiver for celiac disease so I can get in. I'm in JROTC right now. My boyfriend and I are big aviation freaks! :lol:

We have the AFJROTC at our highschool = Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp. You learn drill, marching, and other ceremony movements and activities. We also have Special teams (Saber, Color Guard, and Drill Team), Kitty Hawk Air Society and some others. In my opinion, it's not a hard class. You do have to be dedicated to taking care of your uniform (which is worn every Wednesday) and other things, but, it's a great class.

Ooo, never tried Namaste's. I'll have to look for it.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
