I received an email from the slimfast company promoting this. It sounds great, It also could explain why optifast gives me terrible pains. I thought it was gluten free but every time I drank one, I would get sick. I gave the rest away. I haven't seen the "easy to digest" available near me yet but I'm hoping it will be here soon.

No, but I wouldn't drink that stuff. It's high in simple sugars and low in protein... pretty much the opposite of what we should be eating. If you can have whey, Designer Whey Chocolate is gluten-free and really good - no sugar, very low fat and high protein... and it tastes awesome.

No, I haven't. I am waiting for the skinny fairy to come by at night and make me thin.

I do realize that but on days when my ra is really bad, my jaw swells up and I have to drink liquids. If the designer whey comes ready made I could handle that but on bad days, I can't use my hands much. Does it come in cans or bottles?

Rusla, I've been waiting for the skinny fairy for a few decades now...she still hasn't shown up!

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you weren't drinking it for nutritional reasons, but as a convenience issue. I'm not sure if it comes in cans or bottles, but I know it comes in ready-to-drink packets where you just add the packet to a bottle, add water/milk, and shake it up. Not sure if that would help your RA much.

Sorry that your RA is so bad you have to drink liquids!!! : (

Give her my address when she visits you!

I use Slimfast for convenience, when I am too stiff, too sick, or in too much of a hurry to make a meal. I haven't seen the new one yet, but I will be looking for it.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
