Wish us luck. Me more than Emmah LOL.

I'm the one going to tell him no way is she going back on gluten for a biopsy. I normally have a big mouth and I sure don't scare easy, this is silly, I'm acting like a scared little girl.

The big bad dr's going to get anyry with me.

Keep us in your thoughts and on top of that luck hope for a DX's on diet response PLEASE!!

PS Emmah grew enough in the last 3 months gluten-free that she was able to go into swimming lessons because she can touch the bottom...It was funny, she has to hop to keep her mouth out of the water.

She's very excited

Well that went as bad as I thought,worse actually.

I was bawling the whole time after we left that office. She was a huge BI*CH. She wanted to know why emmah was wasting her time if she was better. she also said if the ttg say's she doesn't have celiac's then she doesn't and thats all there is too it. better or not. she said she has a wheat allergy or something like that or an intolerence.

I can't see a different GI because thats all there is where we live. She staying gluten-free so that's all that matters. I see her ped monday because I want to jerk about this woman and get allergy testing done.

How upsetting. I'm really sorry for your experience with that doctor. Some doctors act real stupid :blink: . She doesn't deserve you as a customer. Hope the ped has better news. You're doing great, don't let a stupid doctor intimidate you. Good luck on your future testing.

Hugs, Stef

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
