Description:

The Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group is pleased to announce its participation in the Sixth International Walk for Celiac Disease. Our Walk will be held at Rockland Lake State Park along a 3-mile path in a beautiful wooded area. We invite you to join with us and thousands of other Walkers, in cities across the U.S. in supporting this great event.

Location: Rockland Lake State Park, Congers, N.Y.

The Park is on Route 9W, 3 miles north of the Tappan Zee Bridge

Date: Sunday June 3, 2007

Time: Registration - 9:00 A.M.

Walk Start - 10:00 A.M.

There will be plenty of gluten-free snacks and beverages. We will have resource information on hand especially helpful for newly-diagnosed Celiacs.

There will be a raffle, with many great prizes. T-shirts commemorating the event will be distributed to all participants.

Registration fees are $15 for adults and $10 for children. For a Registration Form/Pledge Sheet, email Arlene and Cliff Blaker at cblaker@millerblaker.com. Also, if you need directions to the Park, let us know and we will help you get there.

Over the last five years, the Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group's participation in the International Celiac Walks have raised more than $100,000. Those proceeds were donated to fund research at the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research and at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University.

Please join with us June 3 to help make a positive impact for Celiac Disease

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
