This weekend my cousin and I went to Zeas in the mall here in New Orleans and had an amazing experience. One of the reasons we went there is becuase there is very little gluten is used in. A fried chicken (which is the only thing fried) pita chips, buns and pasta. So it seemed pretty safe as most the the menu is rotisserie and grilled. It turned out to be even better. I didn't tell the waitress at first I needed gluten-free, but I did ask if the tortilla chips we pure corn. Once I asked that I didn't see the waitress except for drinks. The chef came out and talked me through the menu (all of which I knew I could and couldn't eat). I had the meat special of the day which was chicken with pure corn corn grits and buttered sweet potatoes. I was a little disappointed as I couldn't my usual which was the only fried thing on the menu and an amazing diping sauce. However the sauce was gluten free and the chef brought it to me seperate for dipping my chicken in.

As I was leaving I commented on how P.F. CHangs had a gluten free menu and he made a comment that they really didn't need one, (which is true), that people only needed to let the chef and waitress know.

All in all I highly recommend it. There are a few here in La, and sadly only 4 outside of La, but if you have one near you I would say go.

      Confused about my results

      By Russ H · Posted

      There is a predictive model for children on this link. Depends on sex, HLA genes and number of affected close relatives.  The model only goes up to age 12 so it would be interesting to know what the lifetime risk is. https://hputter.shinyapps.io/preventcd/

      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...

      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?
