Hi all, I am new to this site and am still trying to figure things out. I was diagnosed with celiac almost a year ago and am still trying to get it under control. I have a few questions but I will ask in some other posts.

A sunny California Merry Christmas to all. I am going to the GI doctor for follow up next Wednesday. I was diagnosed with DH in Sept this year, with a positive biopsy. Since then, my first bloodwork showed an IgG of 179. I was just tested again after being 3 months gluten free and my IgG is down to 107. I know the range should be less than 9. My IgA is 24. I just had all the xrays done this week (UGI & small bowel). My concern is, why would I need the biopsy done of my intestines, when I have the positive biopsy of DH and all of the bloodwork shows Celiac? I just want to get some opinions from you before I speak with my doctor about this.

By the way, I felt really bad for several days when I went gluten free. Severe stomach cramps, stayed in bed all day, etc. Is this normal?

Thanks so much for any advice or input, since I am so new with this disease.

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
