Well yeah, I can certainly see why!

Have a great time! We adopted one kid from Russia, so we were in far-eastern Europe. It's very different from here! We took the train there, so we got to see some of the countryside ... but it was January so there was snow.

Take DEET so that you don't get bitten by any ticks. ;) Lyme is on every continent except Antarctica!

Have a wonderful time!

Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten the insect repellent!

Thanks for the cheery wishes everyone. I'll try to post now and then when I stop to send email to friends and family. And I'll definitely give everyone the low-down on food - since that seems to be the major travel question posted!

AAAAGGGGHHHH will this week never end!!!!!!!

Hi all!

I'm in Slovenia, having gone through Croatia and Bosnia to get here. Tonight I head for Budapest.

Food has been no problem. I found rice cakes in Croatia and the hostel here in Ljubljana lists which foods on it's menu are gluten-free. Flour is used far less often as a filler so I've had no problems with CC. In Italy I bought gluten-free cookies to bring with me and have been munching through those as I go. The hardest time was the plane ride over here, lots of time in airports, but I had breakfast bars and nut bars for that.

24 more days to go!

It sounds WONDERFUL!!!! I hope you're having such a good time. Glad that food hasn't been an issue so far. Pretty amazing that they use less flour in those countries as filler than the US -- bet they have a lot less Celiac, too!!

Keep us posted -- I am so happy for you! Take care . . . . .

Love,

Lynne

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
