Sillies--I ate way too much pizza :huh: It was so good, I couldn't stop As if that wasn't bad enough, I topped it off wif homemade rice pudding. I'm very uncomfortable right now.

YUM!!!!!!! this is what I would do, and then would feel positively VOMITIOUS for quite a while. :lol:

Not sick--just stuffed.......had to change into me big fluffy robe--jeans got too tight

:o Paddeigh - OMG. the MOST alarming thing about this sentence is that........you were STILL in your jeans at - well, you're three hours ahead, so, must have been around 10 pm when you changed into your phluphy robe???????????

:blink:

simply inconceivable to me. I just HATE constrictive clothing..........jeans are like a straightjacket - wear them in public, of course, but the MILLISECOND I get home - - any type of clothing is IMMEDIATELY changed into sweats or pj's or some long, flowing summer gown, period. To have jeans on at home is just.........a particular version of hell, in my opinion.

:lol:

I would wear sweats/pluphy robe/pj's/boxer shorts every single day of my life, all day long and in public, if I could. :ph34r:

One reason I love my new job: have gone in unshowered at least once, and in sweats a few times :ph34r:

No reason a'tall to even TRY and look cute there :lol:

everyone is trick-or-treating! Or - scaring the poor participants (i.e. Bev - - nekkid, smeared with chocolate, pheverish, wearing metallic eyelashes and in a violent herx :o )

night-night sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taking my Toblerone bar to bed now...........

my two favorite shows coming up:

Wife Swap :lol: (a phreak show)

The Ex List (adorable)

When are you meeting up with Em tomorrow?

We are planning on 12:30, but I am waiting to hear about the fairy ferry'schedule, so it is a bit phluid. Transportation logistics turned out to be a challenge, so we are going to meet at Open Original Shared Link on Bayview instead of at the store. A long, leisurely gluten-free lunch is planned. :P:) We wish all the sillies could be there, but I think a party that large would overwhelm the place. :(

a white/American Rastafarian family living in Florida, $3 in their bank account, four dread-locked little kids who all sleep in one bed, a dad who plays in a band for a living, and........days decided by who feels what whim..........

versus

Marine Corps father and wife/family in a sterile, military home in Texas who assign all chores on a coloUr-coded spreadsheet <shudder>

So what do all these mean, and what results mean positive?

The total IgA measures your ability to make IgA antibodies. The IgA test is not a test for Celiac. However, if you are IgA deficient, it means that the IgA based tests are pretty unreliable, and you could have Celiac, and not test positive for it. Also, IgA deficiency is more common in Celiacs than the general population.

If you are IgA deficient, they can run the tTG or EMA via IgG (which is not affected by IgA deficiency)

Of the other four tests, none are perfect. The tTG IgA and EMA IgA are newer tests. Some doctors don't use the AGA tests anymore as they are not as sensitive or specific.

If someone tests strongly positive on the tTG or EMA, its pretty likely they have Celiac. Some people have Celiac and don't test positive on any of the tests, as the severity of damage in the intestines seems to be correlated with some of the bloodwork (meaning, more patchy/less severe/beginning stages of Celiac may not test positive via bloodwork)

Open Original Shared Link has good info on testing.

Next step is often the biopsy - depends on the doctor, tests results, symptoms, etc.

Also, taking gluten out of someone's diet, as you know, and having improved symptoms doesn't diagnose Celiac, but ---- it does take away the symptoms.

Anyone needs to keep eating gluten before testing.

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.     
    • trents
      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      I really like Thorne!  I've researched thier products.  Thank you so much.

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
