Hi! I am the son that SomaDee was talking about....

wow thanks a lot lol. yea like i said, ive got my own apartment and stuff in Polo Club, just off campus. And i love the stadium, thats one reason im going there haha. but thanks for the information on the dining halls, i had a hard time eating at orientation which completely put to rest my fear of living off campus without a meal plan.

oh and just so you and whoeverelse might know, when i contacted FSU about arranging food and such for me, they said that they could arrange it, but i would have to meet with them once a week to plan when and what i wanted to eat. they didnt promise clean equipment, and i had to bring my own food. When I asked about having a private kitchen and bathroom, they said they might be able to put me into a townhouse-type dorm or the student family dorms. that means i would of either been in a place with couples and people with kids, or in a townhouse with all upperclassmen.

but i forgive them for their mistakes because i love tallahassee and fsu so much and cant wait to go there.

thanks again for the info.

Hi, I and my wife are from Pensacola, FL, and both have Celiac's... unfortunately, mine manifested with itchy inflamed spots of skin that make me miserable.

However, my whole family has it, my Grandmother was diagnosed with Gluten Enteropathy YEARS ago, for as long as I've known she has subsisted on rice cakes, corn , and the like. Only now are we being blessed with normal tasting alternatives for her, and us. So, as more and more of us show symptoms, or just leave wheat behind to avoid it, we swap recipes very very often.

This year, we're gonna aim for as many Gluten Free choices as we can. We've noticed that the new lack of processed foods in our diet has been great, the food is actually so much better, and not feeling sick is GREAT. Not to mention the weight loss.

But anyway, if you're from the Panhandle area, hit me up, I'd LOVE to talk.

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.    
    • Scott Adams
      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?
