Hey everyone just wanted to get you guys up to date. My dr finally returned my call last night at 10.30 pm. :blink:

Said i still tested positive for celiac disease but my IGA is still really low. Now back in for more blood tests and another endo <_< really don't like the idea of yet another endo but what do you do?

Feeling somewhat better today, YES I AM OUT OF BED !!!

Think I will take myself to the store and get something good to eat :P

I hope that something is gluten free or are you in the doctor prescribed 'let's poison you until we are absolutly sure that gluten is killing you because our tests don't show as positive as we want them to" stage that so many doctors needlessly do to us when our bodies are already screaming at us to get rid of the poison.

I'm glad you are feeling better and that gluten-free is working for you. YAY!

Great, isn't it wonderful when we finally start to feel better. If you were diagnosed by endoscopy the endo could be useful in seeing how much you have healed. If it comes back negative you know that you are on the right track, not that your dietary response has not shown that already. He may just want to check on your healing. I am relieved to hear he wasn't talking about a gluten challenge, that was my fear for you.

      @iceman2026x, are you certain that CC from spices has been causing celiac reactions in you or is this part of a "shotgun" approach?

      Different people might have different answers, but for me I don't worry too much about cooking oils and salt. I read the labels to check that there isn't some kind of warning but that's about all. I'm not overly worried about pepper either. I eat a lot of black pepper. I buy Costco Kirkland whole pepper and grind it as I use it. A pre-ground pepper would give me more concern about cross-contamination. I buy most of my seasonings from Penzeys. Almost all of their offerings are gluten free and they are pretty good about labeling the few items that have some gluten. There are other choice out there but that's what I do. In this post and your prior post you seem to be very worried about some of the easiest things for a gluten free diet (except for seasonings, which can be tricky). Living with a gluten free diet is a marathon. All of us make some mistakes along the way but then we adjust and keep going. It should get easier for you as you get experience with it.

      Would love to get some input on this. Still trying to figure out what is causing my general fogginess. Thyroid labs all looked perfect, latest labs are borderline normal (I think). Please help!
