Amy, how did the cookies turn out? Do they taste like the girl scout cookies? We're dying to hear!!! :)

I haven't had Samoas in years. As far as I can tell they are sooo much the same. We (me and my husband) ate 24 in one night! I don't know if we'll make them very often to avoid that. Also, we had to make them lactose and egg free. My mother who is not celiac loved them as well. They are definately worth a try! I used a recipe for the Girl Scout Shortbread cookie also on recipezaar and just subed in my flour mix. They turned out wonderful. My girls love them by themselves.

Oo! Oo! Oo! I found something that would work for this SOOOO well.

At our local natural food store they carry a line of cookies called Sunstart. It says Wheat Free, but under that it says "Cookies made from ingredients naturally free from gluten and wheat" (emphasis their's). I just notice that part the other day.

The sunstart cookies are available at WAl-mart for all those that have one near by. If I remember right they are about 3 something a box.

      I think giving attention to the main sources of exposure such as direct consumption of gluten and gross cross contamination with reasonable attention to handwashing and thorough counter top cleaning and dishwashing should cover cross contamination issues. The biggest precautions would be eating in restaurants and at other's homes. Don't get paranoia over it and don't make trouble where there is none. As far a what you communicate with your physicians, just tell them what you know. Strongly positive antibody tests, negative biopsy, positive symptoms when consuming gluten with clearing of symptoms when gluten free.

      Occasionally we do see anomalies where celiac antibody tests are positive but biopsies are negative, and even visa versa. Sometimes, damage to the small bowel lining is patchy and unless numerous samples are taken from various areas, the damage can be missed. So, there's that issue as well. I think in your situation, the tell-tale indicator is the difference in symptoms between when you were off gluten and when you were consuming it.

      Okay, that makes sense - so based off of the 90% odds that it is positive, it’s worth switching to fully gluten-free? How strict do I need to be with cross-contamination, handling, etc. Is it something that can go by feel, for instance if I feel okay making my family sandwiches and handling the bread as opposed to eating it, or is it something that is causing silent damage even if I feel fine? Also, do I make it clear to my rheumatologist and other medical providers that I am celiac? Or will they veto that due to negative endoscopy? Thanks again for the help!

      If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate that you very likely have celiac disease, especially if you also have symptoms while eating gluten that go away when you stop eating it (although many celiacs don't have obvious symptoms).
