suffolk county nyOur next meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 11th at 7:30 pm (delayed one week because of Labor Day).

This meeting will be dedicated to answering as many questions as we can about Celiac Disease. So, if you are newly diagnosed or are a "seasoned" Celiac, bring your questions, problems, comments, gripes and anything else you can think of and we'll try to help. We'll talk about foods, restaurants, doctors, online vendors and whatever else comes up.

We will also be giving you an update on what's going on with the group and what's in store for future meetings.

We will have two guest vendors:

Keith Kohler from Core Naturals

Nutritious Creations - a gluten-free cookie company located right in Bay Shore

It will be a very informative meeting and we look forward to seeing everyone there.

Now something good - a reminder - Dr. Peter Green will be our guest speaker next week, Tuesday, October 2nd. The talk will be in the auditorium (front of the building) and we will have four vendors in the cafeteria for afterwards. There will also be samples from an additional four vendors.

Obviously, we will need some help with this month's meeting. We will need people to collect the admission fee, sell Dr. Green's book, help set up and clean up in the cafeteria. If you can help out, please be at Higbie Lane as early as possible.

We have Dr.Green scheduled for 7:30 pm and would like to start right on time. His talk will run about an hour and then everyone can go to the cafeteria for coffee and check out the vendors/samples.

The price is $5.00 per person. Please make every effort to attend - this is a fund raiser - all proceeds will be given to the Celiac Disease Center and our group will match all admission fees and donations.

See you next week.

      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.    
    • Scott Adams
      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.
