Hey all -

This story was on Good Morning America yesterday. Fascinating - thought I'd share since so many on this forum have multiple food intolerances, or are even down to just a handful of foods. I know I've seen this diagnosis and subject addressed here before, so my ears perked up when I heard the term.

Happy Friday. :)

Thanks Susan (my sister calls my daughter SusieQ, her name is Holly Sue). I wish my mother would read these things, but I have given up. I have stopped printing things from the internet for her, she tells me I have "got to stop believing what I read on the net cause none of it is true!" I just give up, she knows it all, so there is no sense in my bothering to try to help her understand that I am not at the same level of celiac as my sister. I have so many intolerance's, but to her, it's in my head and I am just being stubborn!

Thanks for the article!

I wonder if this is the same thing Laura was researching a while back, the name sounds familiar and it fits the description.

Thnaks for posting this link.

Deb -

So sorry about your mom not reading things. That is intensely frustrating. I know when I try to talk to DOCTORS and regular people about gluten removal and mental health, nobody gets it.

Julie - it's the same thing Laura was looking into.

I just wonder how many people have it and don't know it? I'm quite sure that fewer doctors would know about this than would even know about Celiac.

Yes, its what I was looking into. I was tested after I had been off all the "bad" foods for awhile, so we'll never fully know...plus, I've had other diagnoses since then. Either way, my reactions closely mimicked the eos. disorders.

A good resource for anyone who needs it is www.apfed.org

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      gluten-free Canada finds

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
