In the March 26th issue of the First Magazine on page 17 there is a short blip about Celiac Disease. The article is entitled "What's Draining Your Energy." It asks questions regarding several other problems but where it talks about Celiac it says:

I struggle with diarrhea, gas or abdominal pain almost daily.

I have signs of anemia (breathlessness/ weakness)

Meds don't help my GI disease

"One in every 100 people has this illness, making it one of the most inherited disorders in America says Peter Green, M.D. author of Celiac Disease, a Hidden Epidemic. The problem: a misfiring immune system that attacks gluten ( a protein found in wheat), causing absorption problems. To confirm, as for the anit-tissue transglutaminase test (Anti -tTG).

Remedy: Stay gluten free Avoiding gluten will alleviate symptoms, And sidestepping it is now easier since there's been an 88 percent increase in gluten-free foods in the past year. But beware of surprising gluten sources like medications and lipsticks, cautions Dr. Green. For information, including products to avoid, visit AmericanCelieac.org.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
