Odd Coincidence

We've been looking at houses for well over a year now searching for the perfect place to live. Today we toured a beautiful home and when we opened up the pantry it was stocked with DeBoles gluten free pasta and Koala Crisp!!! I'm sure the realtor thought I was a freak with the way I was carrying on about their food.

Wow, how odd is that? I think you are destined to have that house :) Are you staying in your general area?

The housing in our area is not the greatest, we took have been looking for some time and neither of us are thrilled with what has been out there. Well, there was this nifty house a few months back, it had an open stairwell which was in this open window that spanned the house top to bottom, so when you were coming from level to level you looked out into this beautiful wooded area. I kept picturing it in the winter while snow was falling. It was going for a great price, it would need some minor work but we both liked it.....a another agent came and bought it on the spot....wasn't our day :)

Well, if you'd buy that house, you wouldn't have to worry as much about scrubbing everything to be safe from cc.

I thought the same thing when I read your post :D

That is a coincidence! Could be an omen....

Haha, my boyfriend and I are moving into a new place together May 1, and we are already planning the kitchen scrubdown that will take place. We have some layover time, where we will have both houses so a whole day is going into kitchen deglutening.

Unfortunately, there was gluten in the house. The place was immaculate though. I would feel relatively comfortable moving in there without scrubbing like a mad woman. I'd have to rigorously clean, but nothing like I would have to do in any other house. The place was exactly what i want too. I'm just not sure its what hubby wants.

Amanda, you should look at houses outside of lebanon. There are some really pretty areas and its not far from the hospital. E-town is really nice too, though I think its more expensive than Lebanon County.

We just bought a house in Slatington, PA. We got a good deal, but the house needs a lot of interior renovation. I don't think the guy cooks much, if ever, but there will be lots of cleaning taking place the day we close on the house (prior to moving day).

FF and Guhlia - you should get a face mask - I learned from a bad experience. There are the paper ones - which aren't any good - but I would recommend the ones that look like gas masks. They sell them for use in woodworking or working with dust and fumes.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
