Upcoming Surgery

When I was diagnosed about a little over a year ago, I did two things. When on a gluten free diet and joined this awesome support group. I don't know how I would have made it without you guys. I just got home from a four day hospital stay. I had two units of blood and an IV iron infusion. After a variety of tests they have found 3 masses in my small intestine that are actively bleeding, so I have to have about 18 inches of my small intestine removed. I posted a few weeks ago that my son is going to have brain surgery on the 31st so I will have mine two weeks later so I can stay with him the week he is in the hospital. I have asked for prayer before and if you don't mind I would like to ask again for my son and I.

      I agree with @trents, they should have run a total IgA. What was the normal range for the DGP IgA test? Different labs use different units thus have different normal ranges.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption.

      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken...
