My Celiac mom was visiting over the weekend and I went to the CBS website to show her the video about Celiac that aired a couple of weeks ago. To my surprise, a new video popped up about Celiac and dementia as well. Then yesterday we watched just part of Sunday Morning on CBS and they did a story about food allergies and showed a restaurant in Boston (I think) where the Chef had an allergen listing in the kitchen. They showed a lady getting her meal delivered and the server said 'gluten allergy right?' and the reporter sat down with the lady and she just said her food was prepared safely for her, the sauce was modified and the food cooked in a clean pan. The Chef said there is no reason people with allergies should not be able to eat out safely and his staff were happy to accomodate anyone with any food allergy. It was a great peice and I think we should continue to thank CBS for all this publicity. So far they are beating the other major networks hands down!

Oops! I defer this topic to one started by jaten...I was looking for something about CBS and missed that post about the Sunday morning segment.

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
