yllehs91 Apprentice

I'm 13 and new to this whole gluten-free thing. I'm from SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH TEXAS! (2 hours below corpus...right above mexico) and the closest group i've been able to find is corpus. the problem: their meetings are on the 3rd mon. of each month and i have school! so does anyone know of any that are in the RGV or somewhere closer to me? (maybe Kingsville??) please help! I need a support group! (one thing is that i saw where celiac disease is more commonly in Caucasian people and where i live it's greatly populated w/ Hispanics.) but plz help if you can! THANKS!!

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.
    • RMJ
      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?
    • Fayeb23
      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!
    • Scott Adams
      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
