I had some great bread in Argentina and it was made with a flour which starts with an "M". Would you know that the name of that flour is? :blink: :blink: :blink:

Hi Abi,

Is this Buenos Aires? One of my stepdaughters is there now. She's a foreign exchange student spending her last semester of her Masters from the University of Texas.

I'd like some more info please. She's not Celiac, but if it's close, I'm going to ask her to check it out for me. Maybe take some pictures. Thanks.

best regards, lm

yes, this place is in Buenos Aires. Near "Primera Junta", (she can go there by subway or many buses) and there is lot of choices on that place (dietetica (diet place) in rojas 12).

Im telling you, I even carry lot of things in my luggage when I came back (like cake mixes, bread and pizza mixes, cookies, cereal bars, etc) and the prices are also great!

Abi

      Confusion about my son's results

      By trents · Posted

      Most doctors don't even order anything besides the tTG-IGA and maybe total IGA when doing blood testing for celiac disease. The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG tests are second tier tools that are less specific for celiac disease. It is not at all uncommon for the EMA and the tTG-IGA to disagree with one another. We frequently see this on the forum. I do not know why. Please realize that doctors typically run a number of tests when diagnosing a medical condition. If there was one test that was foolproof, there would not be a need for other tests and other testing modalities. It works that way with many or most diseases.

      But yes seeing all those negatives does give me a bit of doubt! I feel confident but those results give me a seed of doubt. Especially since it's a lifelong diet for him!

      Confusion about my son's results

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      When I originally posted I hadn't talked to the pediatrician yet and didn't realize about the budosinide. Now I feel pretty confident. I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the EMA was pretty "gold standard."  And yes I do now wonder about the asthma! I hope being gluten free will improve that!

      @lizzie42, So, I'm confused with what you are uncertain about. Do you really have any doubt that your 5 year-old son has celiac disease? Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet and on a steroidal medication (which would likely suppress immune responses) do you really have any doubt? If you can't afford the GI consult with endoscopy/biopsy, why would you consider a gluten challenge after removing the remainder of the gluten from his diet? Have you considered that his asthma and "sickness" may be tied to celiac disease?
