hey

I found out I was celiac about 2 years ago. I like to play soccer and ultimate, I am on my schools track team. Where are you guys from?

Lacrosse? That's a scary sport. Very painful.

I like to run. I'm on my school's track and cross country teams, and although i'm not amazing at it, i just have a great time. there's nothing like running to make you feel better (or to stop those gluten crazvings ;) )

For fun I like to play soccer, and in the winter I go up north and snowboard with my cousins. Also drawing and writing are fun hobbies for when I'm bored and can't excercise (I live in Florida and right now there's so much smoke outside from the wildfires that it's not healthy to go out).

As far as languages go, I'm in my third year of spanish in school and I'm also fluent in Hindi because I'm half Indian.

Oh yeah, and I'm really glad I found this site!

hey everyone,

my little sister has been experiencing celiac-like symptoms and my family and i were wondering about the testing. what are the blood tests available, and can her pediatrician set them up? (we don't know much about testing because i was diagnosed through endoscopy while checking out a different problem. but we don't want her to have to get one)

hey,

I was diagnosed when I went to the doctor (just my local clinic) and they noticed I was having celiac like symptoms. Then they just gave me a normal blood test and they did a TTG count in my blood and then the results were positve. I don't know if that will help you but good luck!

Hey, I was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago! I used to play soccer but quit so I could spend more time riding. Lately I haven't been able to ride cuz iv been sick. going gluten free is a lot harder than i thought it would be. i also have eosinophilic esophagitis (e.e.), which is like an allergy. They thought i had e.g.e. (Eosinophilic gastroenteritis), too, which is a food allergy. So I was on an elimination diet (no milk, wheat, eggs, nuts, fish, or soy) for a month. that didnt help so they did more tests and so now we think i have celiac disease. I am on the 3 month no gluten test.

p.s. i am also lactose intolerent.

MJS,

for the blood tests, have her pediatrician order the TTG and AMA or Ema (I cant remember.) I don't know exactly what they stand for, but those are the ones that they use for diagnosis. Also, there is a "Celiac Panel" which has everything in it, except not always the 2 i mentioned. So, make SURE those are in there.

thanks. my parents are gonna wait until after school gets out to get her tested. hopefully she's not a celiac.

yeah i think lacrosse is cool. i played pickup games with my cousins in arizona but i live in florida and there aren't any teams anywhere near where i live. we have city leagues for ultimate, though, and lots of my friends play on them. it's a great way to stay in shape.

i really love running. does anyone here go to cross country camp? my teammates and i are looking for a good but affordable camp to attend over the summer.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      So I have the Benfo, Thiamax, and Neuromag along with my Super B Complex. When I read the labels it says take 3/take 4 times a day but one pill a day is ok correct since its 4 pills at breakfast.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      You are very welcome @Dizzyma. Gastroenterologists are now following this rule in the UK more and more with children, so I am not surprised your daughter is not having an endoscopy. Switching to a gluten free diet should begin to help, but also, even if you have to have testing done privately, it would be very helpful for you to find out if your daughter...

      Celiac support is hard to find

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

However, the test we used should not be used as the initial screening test for celiac (like it appears they did) because it misses a lot of cases ("low specificity"). No further testing is scheduled or pending" We eat "gluten" and our bodies digest part of it into "deamidated gliadin" (GLIADIN (DEAMID)). The gliadin is what actually triggers the Celiac disease pathway. The celiac's immune system sees gliadin much like an invading virus, and makes antibodies (AB) against gliadin. Each antibody has the ability to recognize a specific target (anti-gliadin antibodies recognize gliadin). When antibodies find their specific target, they stick to it and call in other parts of the immune system to help eliminate the target. This process also causes the immune system to make a lot more of that antibody, and your test was designed to measure if there was an elevated level of type A (IgA) anti-gliadin antibodies. Antibodies, which are also called immunoglobulins (Ig), come in different types (e.g. class "A" or "G"). Think of antibodies as different kinds of cars, and antibody types as different colors of car. An "A" type (color) is called IgA, and a G type is called IgG. IgA's are more relevant to Celiac disease than are the IgG's or other types. Unfortunately, some people don't make very much of the IgA class (like not making aqua-colored cars, even though they make the same cars in green) and that's a common reason for the gliadin-Ab-IgA test to fail to identify celiac. As Trents wrote, they should have given her a "total IgA" test and probably tested her for the anti-tTG IgA antibody.

      Hi @tiffanygosci Well done for reaching out,  fantastic you have found this forum. It sounds like you are managing the diet well, it can be overwhelming at first, but it will get easier.     I wonder if you have seen the short film 'Glutened'? - someone shared it on this forum a few months ago and it reminded me of how isolating it can be, particularly at first, when you don't know anyone with celiac disease.  *see link for film below. I realise now how blessed I was that when I was diagnosed two friends were also diagnosed around the same time, as we shared a lot of tips and recipes at the start.   Since then the number of people I know diagnosed with coeliac disease has grown and grown, there seems to be a much greater awareness of it among healthcare professionals and the public, at least this side of the Atlantic (I'm British).  I think in time you may find this, too. That said, those two coeliac buddies were 'straightforward' cases who seemed to recover very quickly when on a gluten-free diet - I struggled for some time.  So I found that I spent much more time discussing things with this online coeliac family. If you have any more questions, we're here for you.  I hope your event on 15th goes well.  Sounds like a good start!  I like you am not keen on Facebook, but perhaps setting up an account short-term might help? * https://vimeo.com/486284734 Cristiana

      You are very welcome @Dizzyma. Gastroenterologists are now following this rule in the UK more and more with children, so I am not surprised your daughter is not having an endoscopy.   Switching to a gluten free diet should begin to help, but also, even if you have to have testing done privately, it would be very helpful for you to find out if your daughter has vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which is highly likely,    In the UK tests are generally offered on the NHS for B12 and ferritin, and sometimes vitamin D.  Shortages in these can really cause any anxiety or depression or ramp it up. If you do end up supplementing, make sure your GP is aware as levels do need to be monitored, for example,  too much ferritin can cause huge health issues. Re: anxiety, definitely speak to a GP or another health care professional about this if it is an issue. Hopefully the Coeliac Society of Ireland will also be able to help. Cristiana
