AAAARGHH i'm sooooo bad at the college right now. I have finals all this week, so I came in earlier to study and just eat lunch here...

I get to the staff room, open up the freezer in the fridge ..... theres a HUGE BAG OF BUNS on top of my bread bag (which ended up not being completely sealed--for some reason the tag wasnt closing it all). So I had to move the bag myself, and discovered was was HOLES in the bag of EVIL BUNS. So I went and washed my hands as good as I could but I not sure if enough

And THEN I get to the lunch room, and the whole area around the microwaves is EVIL CRUMBS...

that was like 2 1/2 hours ago, and NOW I just feel like absolutely CRAP. PAIN PAIN PAIN and MORE pain. Went to the bathroom, and felt even more pain now.

I totally think i'm contaminated *cries*. And I write my final in 10 mins, the last thing I need is the short-term memory loss and poor concentration...

I wanna scream and cry right now :(

No doubt about it, Lisa--you're having a lousy day :angry: These things happen, and all you can do is wait for the reaction to ease up, and go from there.

I know it just dosen't seem fair sometimes :( I'm sure by the time you read this, your final will be over--you can only do the best you can. Get some rest tonight, keep warm and I hope tomorrow is a better day for you :)

I'm so sorry. {{{HUGS}}} You're still going to do the best you can on that final inspite of everything that's happened.

Is there a way you can get your own mini-fridge in the staff room? I'm way too scared to put my food in a communal fridge. I like it on my desk where it's nice and safe and I can supervise it.

thanks guys *hugs you all*. makes me feel better to see your replies when i got home. I'm so out of it :( I should have been studying tonight for my final tomorrow but too much of a headache(which feels more like a migraine right now), too much brainfog, too much pain, too much itchyness!!

Everyone seems to have the idea that its my own fault i got contaminated :o (i dont see how--i'm not the one who buried my bread under a bag of evil buns!)

And just my luck, my principal will be away probably this whole week, so I dont know why I can talk to about it. I know its their staffroom and their fridge and their freezer, but I dont have a choice. You all know what its like---its either freeze it til you need it, or starve!

I'm going to bed earlier than my normal bedtime, i have a feeling i'll need it. I'll keep you updated...

P.S.: I did good on the final, but i know not as good as I could have done--forgot a LOT of the easy stuff! :/

You might try double-bagging your bread bag, or using a well-labeled, well-sealed plastic container.

Lisa,

I was going to suggest the same thing. Get a container large enough for what you would normally keep in their fridge, so all of your foods can stay together and separate. :) These are very inexpensive at discount department stores--and could save you a lot of problems.

As we all know, there's not much we can do about those around us, it's up to us to keep ourselves safe. :);)

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      That is a very good point I do not know if they truly ever went down. With my nutrient levels all being good, CBC, metabolic panel I assumed everything was fine over the years. Now Im worried this is refractory celiac or something else

      I don’t know how common it is, but it happens.  Total IgA going up is not necessarily celiac related.  The body can make IgA antibodies against all sort of things.   But if I understand correctly that until recently you haven’t had a celiac blood test since diagnosis, how do you know that your recent blood tests are a mild rise, vs never going down to the normal range? That also can happen, although not too common. Some people with celiac disease do react even to purity protocol certified gluten free oats. Removing oats from your diet for a few months and retesting is probably a good idea.

      interesting I did not know that was that common or could take that long.  When I was diagnosed 15 yrs ago I was told just follow gluten-free diet and follow up with primary care doctor (who never checked celiac panel again). I felt way better and all the major symptoms went away. It wasn't until recently at 25 (14 yrs after diagnosis) that I thought to follow up with a gastro doctor who then did a celiac panel and noted those minor elevations 3 months ago then I got them checked again by another doctor the other week and were showing roughly the same thing.  I am very strict with what I eat and dieitican was maybe thinking it could be oat flour. I do eat a fair amount of processed food but I will not touch anything unless it is certified gluten free.  Do you see this pretty commonly with others? Having mild rises in TTG IGA and IGA who have been on gluten-free diet for years?

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?

      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?
