I love Van's Gluten Free Waffles, toasted with peanut butter and jelly. That might help a bit. A lot of the processed gluten free foods are high in calories.

As time progresses on the diet, she will gain weight.

avocados, coconut, beans/veggies cooked with plenty of oil, etc.

I've always like Gatorade, too. I know it's a little high in sugar, but drinks go down easily so I don't think one a day is going to be too terrible.

if she can have dairy try adding in a higher calorie gluten-free butter to everything she eats. Also whole milk and whole milk yogurt or heavy whipping cream.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Cat M! Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten for a significant period of time (weeks/months) before the blood draw and test results you posted? I ask because you say you would like to be retested after consuming gluten for a few weeks. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks. But I would go for longer than that to be sure, say 4 weeks. Testing is invalid when people have been gluten free or even skimping on it.

      I recently reviewed a patient with a positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody but negative endomysial antibodies (EMA). The patient is asymptomatic, and duodenal biopsies—taken while on a normal gluten-containing diet—were reported as normal. Given the discordant serology and absence of histological changes, I understand that the probability of coeliac disease is low. However, I would appreciate your guidance on the following: Is routine follow-up required in such a case? What is the risk of progression to overt coeliac disease in the future? Would HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing be useful here to help guide long-term management or exclude the diagnosis confidently? I would be grateful for your thoughts.

      TTG IgA <2 Ttg IgG 3 DGP IgG 4 Total IgA was not performed. My GP thinks I am gluten sensitive and do not have celiac. I would like to consume gluten for a few weeks and retest, or consult a gastroenterologist now. I am symptomatic, which is why we tested. I do have the HLA DQ2. Is it possible this is a false positive? What would cause that?

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year
