Hi everyone

I just wanted to tell that i bought the book " gluten free for dummies" and i really like it.

For you newbies and oldies like me and others it is very informative. Has many different things. I don't usually suggest books but i will this one.

Lots of recipes and everthing if you dont want to buy go to library, it was only 19.95 which is very cheap to get a lot of good information.

Lots of good info here too.

I want to interject here that the IBS for Dummies book tells IBS sufferers that their IBS could be celiac in origin. I was surprised that they dedicated two pages to it!

I agree, it's a wonderful book. It was the first book I purchased when the doctor said, "Perhaps Celiac testing is necessary" when discussing my daughter.

I attended a conference last summer - and Danna Korn signed it for my daughter! =)

That is awesome. I really like this book! :lol: Bought it last year in that totally glutenfree shop that opened here in PA. It's the third totally glutenfree shop in the entire US. It's in Dillsburg and called "The glutenfree Source". Every Saturday, when I drove to National Team Training I passed them and bought a pack of freshly baked glutenfree goods. I thought, I support them by buying this book. Turned out, it's a really good book. Now I put it into my martial arts academy for interested student moms to read, while they are waiting. Together with the book "Dangerous Grains". It makes a great addition! :lol:

      Her result for the TTG Ab (IgA) was 19. Lab range 0.0 - 0.7. U/ml.

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I...

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but...

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for...
