Wishing everyone on this wonderful board a very happy Thanksgiving! We all have much to be thankful for. Even though Celiac is a strange, strange thing :P, we are all thankful to have this board that provides us with such great information, recipes, medical information, support, and friendships.

Even when we complain about the food, the hardship, the crazy family members who sometimes don't get it, the time, the money.....

We are thankful that we HAVE food and nourishment, and family and friends to celebrate with.

Thank you all for supporting me in this past year, with both Celiac and non-Celiac health problems.

Love,

Laura :wub::wub::wub:

What are we truly thankful for?

I'm thankful for a reason to pay attention to what I put into my body.

I'm thankful for having true friends who go out of their way to take care of me.

Hear hear! I truly believe I am blessed. I am glad that I have a disease that I can treat by myself! I am also very thankful for all the people who lived this lifestyle before me, and made it easier to be a Celiac today!

I am thankful for everyone of you who have taken the time to read a vent or answer a question I have had. For every post that has made me laugh so hard the whole family has come down to the office to see what is going on, and especially for the caring attitudes I've seen displayed so many times when someone is really in a bad place. You are all the best and I didn't live or eat nearly as well before I found this board as I do now! Thank you all and I wish every single person on here have a very happy and hopefully gluten-free Thansgiving!

      Welcome to the forum, @Babygirl877! You may find that your gastritis and your gastroparesis improve once you begin following a gluten free diet consistently. But to arrive at consistency in eating gluten free can involve a real learning curve. This might help:

But then you say in your most recent post, "We’ve all tested and neither of us, nor my other daughter have the genetic markers for it." Those two state...

      Decreasing tTiga?

      Hello and welcome, Could you please publish the reference ranges for each test, including tTG-IgA and the endomysial antibodies? When your daughter had her endoscopy, was she eating gluten? I agree with your position, I would not want to subject her to another endoscopy and biopsy. It sounds like your doctor is saying that since her tiredness is...

But then you say in your most recent post, "We’ve all tested and neither of us, nor my other daughter have the genetic markers for it." Those two statements are in direct contradiction to one another. Where did she get the genes for potential celiac disease then?

      Hi- thanks for the reply. Happy to give more information. No one in my family or the fathers family has celiacs. We’ve all tested and neither of us, nor my other daughter have the genetic markers for it.    these are what the lab results say: Endomysial Antibody Titer- Normal value: <1:5 titer.  Hers were at 1:10 the past 3 times and then this time it came back on her portal as just “negative” Her platelets this time came back at 451, and the normal range is 150-400. They have been in the normal range the past three times. Tissue Transglutaminase Ab-  <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected Her Value 76.1 this time. 8 months ago it was 140, 6 months before that it was 120 and the time before that it was 72. From what I’ve read and from the doctor, this is the most specific test for celiac and what we should focus on the most. 76 is still extremely high, but why did it decrease when nothing in her diet has changed?

      Hello and welcome, Could you please publish the reference ranges for each test, including tTG-IgA and the endomysial antibodies? When your daughter had her endoscopy, was she eating gluten? I agree with your position, I would not want to subject her to another endoscopy and biopsy. It sounds like your doctor is saying that since her tiredness is not new that there's no real health status change. Personally, I don't like that assessment, and I would question it. From the bits you have posted, it does look like she has Celiac, but I would want to see a more comprehensive panel. It's good you've continued doing the blood tests, and are in general staying on top of it. (Are there others in either your family or the child's father's family that have had Celiac?) People without Celiac do not test positive, regardless of the level. Other moderators on this board may have more up to date information than I do, but I think that's still true. Plumbago
