Congrats at finally getting your test results in! I would definitely test your daughters, as well as your siblings and parents, because the gene came from somewhere and can affect them. It is better to know than to be in the dark.

It's a relief to finally know, isn't it!!! I was Dx'd 4-1 and have a biopsy on 5/15 and then can start the gluten free diet...thank the lord b/c now that I know what makes me sick...it's hard to eat it! But as far as the kids go...

As soon as I got my blood work back I had my son tested....he's 2.5 and hasn't shown symptoms but from what i hear not all people do. I wasn't worries so much for myself but for him. He's neg now but I have to have him tested every 2 years. I'm thinking baout getting the gene test done on him to find out if he has the gene or not....that way we wouldn't have to poke him unless necesary! I know I get this from my Dad's side and my sib;ings are being tested as we speak. Better to know early! I would get your kids tested...better safe than sorry. I thank God everyday that I found out about this at 24 and can start treating it now and hopefully ward of some other issues! Good Luck!

Nearly everyone in the US has gluten intolerance or celiac genes (only exception, some of Asian heritage). One-third have the celiac genes. Obviously more is involved in having a problem than simply having these genes.

If it were me, I would test when there are symptoms. That is the way my kids have decided to handle it (they are old enough so it is up to them, not me).

Of course, there is no harm to testing everyone periodically, except to your bank account :lol:

Pedro, congratulations on finally knowing. Obviously you have intestinal damage, because you have malabsorption.

I would definitely test the children as well. It is much better to test BEFORE there are obvious symptoms. A lot of people find that when they eliminate gluten, symptoms that weren't recognized as such go away.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      suggest gluten free food

      By olivia11 · Posted

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
