I could not find what I was looking for on OMG either. I read the first ten pages and took a break. If I find it I'll refer you. If you do please tell me.

I think iodine was mentioned sometime in the first 100 pages. You don't have to read all of it, just jump in and ask a question. The girls in the know are on at various times through the day so you may not get an answer right away. I don't know about iodine so I won't be answering.....but I always say "HI".

Okay, did a google search. According to google, iodine is mentioned in the OMG thread on pages, 37, 56, 57, 94, 99, 120, 123 and 187.

Happy reading!

Hugs.

budew,

I just want to add to the list of people who want you, and others, to continue to post. we honestly want to help and offer any insight that we have. searching is a great tool but asking is just is important. this thread is more for us old people who have lost sight of the mission of this board and was a gentle kick to us to remember where we were when we first started. Many of us have continuing health problems (some related, many unrelated to Celiac) and we become focused on trying to figure out what is going on with us, and often do not make the time to help the newbies. On the other hand, to me, it is unbelievable that there are people who are struggling to get by everyday and yet take the time to welcome a newly diagnosed Celiac....I stand amazed at the goodness of so many of these people who have yet to gain their health back (again, some celiac related, some not).

I hope you stay and you find information and comfort in these pages and knowledge (and this goes to all of the other great people who have responded to this thread). Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do...PM anytime.

Hey Guys:

Mind if I butt in here a minute while good work is going on :)

I have been computer less since I posted the initial post here. I just got home this evening and I could not believe in the six pages of awesomeness and to be honest I am so wonderfully surprised. WOW.

Every post that I have read (for the most part, and even then an expression of opinion is ok, as it appeared to be honest) has been positive, informative and helpful. I think that all of you have opened a new approach, with open-mindedness: and, have created a wonderful soft place to fall, when a newbies world has been turned up-side-down. Three cheers to all of you.

So many great ideas can be implemented to make the source of information flow better. It seems that the welcoming crew is in place and the more medical and detail team is ready to follow. HOW COOL IS THAT :D

All of you... this is a prime example of what good people do to make some one's life a better one.

Thanks this forum has been great for me. Personally being sick cut me off from other people. I cherish these connections. Before illness I got my satifaction from helping others. I taught for 22 years. Every year I adopted a family to help. Without the job I just couldn't find a way to help others. I felt like no one needed me. Right now I feel like I'm on the right track. I actually get more out of trying to help others than myself. The forum gives me the mental stimulation I crave. It is so satisfying to feel like I am contributing to the welfare of others once again. Losing my job and friends was way harder to deal with than being sick. I feel like a new woman. Productive. It feels good to be wanted and needed. You guys are filling a void no place else has. I feel much better about the forum now and have spent much of the day trying to help others. The only reason I reacted so strongly was because I care so much about people and did not want to give up the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time. :)

Thank you all.

Budew,

With young children, this forum is my "friend". I have made some good friends here and I'll always cherish that. It is a good place to come and help and learn and ?????.

bud,

happy to read your response. sad, obviously, that you have gone through SO much. this is a forum whose members have very similar...and yet different....stories. the thread that weaves us together is that we understand and symphathize. i'm happy you have found this resource and hope to get to know you better!

Andrea-

I really admire people with the courage to raise children. It must be really hard to deal with the isolation child rearing can cause for some folks. As a teacher I know what it is like not to have another adult to talk to. One year we made an area in my 5th grade classroom for the children of a stay at home mom (former teacher) who was having a hard time with the isolation. It turned out great. A win, win, win. I love to make dreams come true for people. I sat by her at a school board meeting. She told me her situation. I got her phone number, permission from the principal and the rest is history.

Glad you find comfort in the forum too!

Kassiane Newbie
I was wondering if you could clarify some of this for us, except the sunshine enema- that was pretty clear. No one was looking for that when this thread began.

It was a call to VETERAN CELIACS not just veteran board members to help people who are newly diagnosed. therefore, I would say you are a veteran. not a newbie in the sense of being diagnosed.

What do you mean you've been paid for research? Are you a researcher or are you involved in testing? Clinical trials? Are you a doctor?

What do you mean you got paid to "quackbust"?

This is uncalled for on many counts. there ARE people who do have MANY problems- all of them valid (thyroid, depression, gluten ataxia, other food intolerances). I'm not interested in "crucifying" anyone. I actually believe in science as well; however, no one said you had to read the signatures, as others have pointed out.

It's good for us to get feedback and I am sorry you feel so put off, but there is a way to be CONSTRUCTIVE when criticizing. It's one of the first things I teach my students.

I mean, that I research. It's called patient education research. Essentially, I read the medical literature, and the pseudoscience, and the stuff trying to pass off as one or the other. Then I translate it for people who haven't read medical dictionaries for fun (leave it laying around, I'll read it), write articles, et cetera. Help people understand the doctorese.

And help them understand WHY things are utter hooey at best, and downright dangerous at worst. As for getting paid, I write articles. People buy them. I get a commission if they're on a website, or they buy them outright. I've written for a couple books too, but that has to do with a total other subject (autism. I am autistic, the kind with the speech delay and that isn't high functioning even if they do type well).

My manner is very direct. If you don't like it there really isn't a whole lot I can do about it. Call it traumatized child syndrome if you will; I learned a long time ago that no matter how hard I work to please people it ain't gunna work so I may as well be me and at least know who I am at the end of the day.

Who said anything about 'sleepy' adrenals? You better believe there is such a thing as adrenal fatigue, adrenal burnout or even adrenal failure (which will happen if you ignore the first two, and can be deadly). Just because your average MD is absolutely clueless about this problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just as most MDs know nothing about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. Are you now going to suggest those don't exist, either?

I HAVE adrenal failure. I had an adrenal crisis last MONTH when I got attacked at a university. Injectable dexamethasone (that I carry) saved my life. 5mg prednisone/day gave me my life BACK.

It did not start with adrenal fatigue or adrenal burnout. It started when my pituitary crapped out. I also have diabetes insipidus. Because my pituitary crapped out.

If you're on your way to Addison's, I suggest a good endocrinologist. And to suggest that I don' believe in two conditons that I have is

a) utterly ridiculous

B) FAR more insulting than anything I said.

Do I need a signablog too for people to believe that I've got medical conditions? I've mentioned this one three or four times. I believe in the "Offensive" (Hey admin, this one offended me AND was a personal attack) post I SAID I HAVE ADRENAL FAILURE.

Cripes. Now I want crepes. And baklava. I shouldn't have to defend myself against a clique. It's like high school all over again.

Kassianne- Thanks for clarifying. I was jsut wondering what you meant by you get paid to quackbust.

Like you said, at least you know who you are at the end of the day. I'm glad you weren't trying to start a fight but I'm sure you realize, as you have been misunderstood by others, that your post was pretty off-putting. But everyone deserves a second chance.

And you also must realize that even science and research have their limits and biases. Some people don't get all the answrs they need through "conventional" American medicine and there are plenty of other types of medicine (Chinese, Ayurvedic) that have been around a LOT longer and have their benefits too.

The most important thing, even if you disagree with someone's claims, is to understand that that is what they are experiencing and experience is valid too.

Be well.

Kassiane Newbie
I've started this post several times and deleted it thinking that as a new person here maybe I should keep my thoughts to myself. I said in a previous post this board has been a real source of support and hope. I was disappointed that one negative post from Kassianne was able to change the original helpful and optimistic mood of this Newbie thread. I have also noticed that Kassianne has not posted here again to explain, answer questions that were asked or defend her post

I need to read truth, feel support and acceptance and learn of reliable sources here, I hate that negativity has crept in. Sissy

Well duh. Everyone jumps on me so I really want to come back.

No wonder newbies don't speak up, if you treat everyone with an opinion like this.

Kassiane:

What came before in your life often makes up who you are. You don't have to justify that. If someone, or something put you off on this forum, I am sorry. I am sure that you are aware that, often blunt words can be construed as being rude, as there is no inflection on the written word as we chat with each other. Many times a good thought, sentence or opinion is often misinterpreted. That is why we often use those smiley things at the left side of you scream........so we can show emotion. It does help quite a bit. :)

I must add, thought. We are often asked questions that are crucial to others health and well being. It is very important that when we post information to others here on the forum, that we be as accurate at a rate of 100%. If there is any doubt or question about a product or a related health issue, it would be wise not to endanger any one's health. Opinions may be expressed, as long as they are labeled as such.

Regarding your research: I have never heard of Celiac/Sprue before being dx'd and that lead to a lot of personal research on my part and eventually, it lead me here. This forum has been my lifeline for almost a year and a half. I cannot tell you the amount of forum member that have been self taught and have learned such a vast amount of information on this disease and the implications with total doctoral research.

Without the medical degree, many forum member have exceeded the general medical field in research and exploration, than ANY MD that I have ever met.

And, the best thing about this is.........there are available upon request and they don't BILL. :)

Aren't we the lucky ones.

I hope that you will feel better about joining us. It may be a lot of wonderful information lost if you choose otherwise. But we hope you do.

Lisa

PS: I am not good with long post, so you got me on a good night. :)

Kassianne, I just wanted to say that I too am very opinionated about my take on things and I'm admitedly coming from the "alternative" healthcare side of things. I've been accused of Dr. bashing and of judging people, all of which I don't think are true. I don't have a high opinion of MOST medical Dr.s but there are a few great ones out there, and I would never ever stoop to judge someone else, lest I open myself up to being judged! There's a place for all of us. There have been a few times (not just on this forum) where I've been forced to "eat crow" and apologize for having an opinion that differs from the norm. I will not apologize for who I am at the end of the day, so Kudo's to you for being you!

Kassiane Newbie

Just to clarify:

I am not anti alt-med. I am anti alt-med abuse. Kinda like I am anti med-abuse (like docs who give everyone who's got the sniffles antibiotics to shut them up, UGH I HATE THAT. Or who hand out STRONG antidepressants like they're candy). I take a snotload of supplements for seizure control (add on to meds), mitochondrial support, and because I just don't absorb food real well. Thåt's all altmed land. So is the energy healing I have done and had done.

But there are some things that I want an MD, preferably specialist's, opinion on first. Or a lot of things. But usually that means I did the research and know what SYSTEM, at least, is offline. I don't trust the GPs around here to diagnose a cold.

I am with you on every point. I was one of those folks on heavy meds needlessly, by will call it a mistake. I warn people. hen I resisted they even threatened to put me in an institution against my will, "not taking them would be a danger to my life" Scared me.

I have been resisting medical advice for years. I'm curious if you have any comments on contrast die. I have never allowed it, I know I am allergic to iodine. It just doesn't seem worth the risk.

I've had the same family doctor for 12 years. He was basically a great guy who had know idea what celiac disease was. I am happy to say, it took a long time, but he has come around. I have a team of specialsts working together accepting my input.

Newbie here....after 2+years of knowing i had to do something about my gluten intake, i finally decided it was time. i googled gluten intolerance and after visiting many sites decided to get involved here because of the well thought out forum.

anyway - my mother died with islet cell cancer, which was directly related to her gluten intolerance

she told me about 6 months before she died about her problem with gluten

i was 57 years old

i stopped taking medication prescribed for LBS

i have an appointment on 1 Nov at 0925 to go over family history, etc with my doctor

i have not eaten anything that contains gluten (i hope so) for 3 days now (just rice, eggs, and veggies)

i have talked with my three grown (35, 33, and 20) children and let them know they should see their doctor and get checked

i am investigating various stores, local and on-line, regarding gluten free products

i will become gluten free

i will ask a lot of questions and not accept a reply that takes the path of least resistance

i will not become complacent

i . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

seems like the older one gets the harder the learning curve becomes, but i relish this one. i am going to regain my health and enjoy the "twilight years"

thanks for listening

Lisa Mentor

Welcome:

It is NEVER too late to regain your health.

Please take some time to read as much as you are able on this site. I am sure you will find a wealth of infomation here.

I would just like to add that if your intent is to be tested for celiac, continue to eat gluten. Otherwise, your testing will not be accurate. If you choose not to be tested, continue to eat gluten free.

You have a home here :)

jerseyangel Proficient

Hi Raymond,

I'm glad you decided to join us! I'm even happier that you are dedicating to the gluten-free lifestyle. It's never too late--I was sick and misdiagnosed for over 20 years.

I was not diagnosed with Celiac until last year, at age 49.

I hope your children get tested as well. Let us know how we can help you--there's a lot more you can eat beside eggs, fruit and veggies!

I'm not clear on if you have actually been tested yourself--if not, you need to keep on eating a regular gluten containing diet until the testing is over--you could skew the results by going gluten-free beforehand. :)

dlp252 Apprentice

Just saying Hi and welcome to Raymond!

mouse Enthusiast

Just wanted to say welcome Raymond. This is a place to find answers to any questions you might have. And we never consider a question stupid. Like Lisa said if you are going to be tested then you have to keeping ingesting gluten.

AndreaB Contributor

Hi Raymond and welcome! :D

Budew Rookie

Hi Raymond! Welcome!

My mom had it all my life. Did you know that the genetic link was not discovered until 1970. Your mom may have been like mine, had know idea it was so prevelant.

Best of luck!

      The first set of results show two positive results for celiac disease, so at the very least it looks like you could have it, or at the least NCGS.   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.      
    • Scott Adams
      Elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and they are a key biomarker used in its diagnosis. However, there are some rare instances where elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in conditions other than celiac disease. While these cases are not common, they have been documented in the literature. Below are some examples and references to studies or reviews that discuss these scenarios:  1. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)    - NCGS typically does not cause elevated tTG-IgA levels, as it is not an autoimmune condition. However, some individuals with NCGS may have mild elevations in tTG-IgA due to intestinal inflammation or other factors, though this is not well-documented in large studies.    - Reference: Catassi, C., et al. (2013). *Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: The New Frontier of Gluten-Related Disorders*. Nutrients, 5(10), 3839–3853. [DOI:10.3390/nu5103839](https://doi.org/10.3390/nu5103839)  2. Autoimmune Diseases    - Elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in other autoimmune conditions, such as type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hepatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This is thought to be due to cross-reactivity or polyautoimmunity.    - Reference: Sblattero, D., et al. (2000). *The Role of Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase in the Diagnosis and Management of Celiac Disease*. Autoimmunity Reviews, 1(3), 129–135. [DOI:10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3](https://doi.org/10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3)  3. Chronic Liver Disease    - Conditions like chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis can sometimes lead to elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to increased intestinal permeability or immune dysregulation.    - Reference: Vecchi, M., et al. (2003). *High Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: A Role for Gluten-Free Diet?* Gastroenterology, 125(5), 1522–1523. [DOI:10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031)  4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)    - Some patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis may have elevated tTG-IgA levels due to intestinal inflammation and damage, though this is not common.    - Reference: Walker-Smith, J. A., et al. (1990). *Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease*. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 10(3), 389–391. [DOI:10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020](https://doi.org/10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020)  5. Infections and Parasites    - While infections (e.g., giardiasis) are more commonly associated with false-positive tTG-IgA results, chronic infections or parasitic infestations can sometimes lead to elevated levels due to mucosal damage.    - Reference: Rostami, K., et al. (1999). *The Role of Infections in Celiac Disease*. European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 11(11), 1255–1258. [DOI:10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010](https://doi.org/10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010)  6. Cardiac Conditions    - Rarely, heart failure or severe cardiovascular disease has been associated with elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to gut ischemia and increased intestinal permeability.    - Reference: Ludvigsson, J. F., et al. (2007). *Celiac Disease and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study*. American Heart Journal, 153(6), 972–976. [DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019)  Key Points: - Elevated tTG-IgA levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and in most cases, a positive result strongly suggests celiac disease. - Other conditions causing elevated tTG-IgA are rare and often accompanied by additional clinical findings. - If celiac disease is suspected, further testing (e.g., endoscopy with biopsy) is typically required for confirmation. If you’re looking for more specific studies, I recommend searching PubMed or other medical databases using terms like "elevated tTG-IgA non-celiac" or "tTG-IgA in non-celiac conditions." Let me know if you’d like help with that!
    • MaryMJ
      I called zero water and they state their filters do not contain gluten or gluten containing ingredients. 
    • trents
      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.
    • Jack Common
      Hello! I want to share my situation. I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching one year ago. I thought I could have celiac disease so I did the blood tests. The results were ambiguous for me so I saw the doctor and he said I needed to do tests to check whether I had any parasites as well. It turned out I had giardiasis. After treating it my symptoms didn't disappear immediately. And I decided to start a gluten free diet despite my doctor said I didn't have it. After some time symptoms disappeared but that time it wasn't unclear whether I'd had them because of eliminating gluten or that parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. Giardiasis also damages the small intestine. The only way to check this was to start eating bread again as I thought. Now about my results.   These are my first test results (almost a year ago) when I had symptoms: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months. Symptoms disappeared. And I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   Nowadays I didn't have any symptoms except tiredness but I think it's just work. I think it was this parasite because two years ago, for example, and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten food. But I'm still not sure especially because the Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG results are sometimes high. What do you think? @Scott Adams
