Hello, Im new to the whole blog thing and to the whole Celiac World. My little boy tested postive for Celiac and my daughter's test have yet to come back. But I was just looking for others in KY that are new or old to this disease, just wanting to share information on products that are good and things to do and not do. Even if your not in KY any infomation would be great. We have been gluten-free for 1 month now and my little one seems to be 85% better but have had some spurts of direaha so I think I am somehow cross contaminating his food and that is why he gets this boughts sometime. I have looked for commerical products that are gluten-free but they are few and far between. We only have 2 very small naturel food stores in a nearby town, their gluten-free section is very small and very expensive. Any help would be greatly appericated. Also if anyone know's of a good online store to order gluten-free products.

Thanks So Much,

-Corinda

Corinda,

What part of Kentucky are you in? I live in Southern Indiana just across from Henderson.

Hi Kate, I live in southeast KY down near the TN state line.. So we are a good distance apart. Are you new to the whole celiac thing, or a pro at it by now?

I've been gluten free for about four months now, so I'm somewhere in the middle, not a beginner anymore, but not a pro either. I've been doing lots of research and reading on websites like this one and in medical journal databases.

Hi,

I'm in Southern Indiana too. I just moved west of Louisville. I am originally from Louisville. I miss being near the Whole Foods store, although it was expensive. I buy most of my stuff online.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
