Are These The Right Tests?

Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA

Endomysial Ab IgA Titer not done because other test was neg.

Gliadin Peptide Ab IgA

Gliadin Peptide Ab IgG

So, looks like Doc only did three tests and not full panel. Soooo irritating.

All tests came back neg.

I'm not going to bother with Docs or blood tests unless someone has a convincing reason to continue with medical diagnosis. I took him off gluten last Thur. and we'll see how it goes. I told my son that we would give it two months. He is desperately hoping the diet won't work. Poor thing!

Thanks for everyones posts. I have been trying new recipes and searching out foods that you all suggest. I bought Gifts of Nature, Inc.'s Certified Gluten-Free Rolled Oats for 12.99 for 2.75 lb at Wild Oats today. He was excited to be able to have oatmeal for breakfast.

I took him off of soy milk months ago because I didn't realize how much estrogen is in soy. The breast bud that was developing is practically gone. He won't try other milk (cow, rice etc....) Not sure what to do about that one. He was diagnosed with milk and egg allergy -triggers for his asthma at age 1. Now they say he has outgrown that, so I have tried cows milk, but won't budge. I feel bad for him. I'm trying to make our search for good food fun for him. He has helped make quite a few things, but not eaten many of them.

Anyway- thanks for reading

One on gluten-free diet and soon to be all of us I think!

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
