I'm not sure how much stock I put into studies that include vaccines...one you are't going to get the whoel story b/c they want people to get vaccinated.

We're were talking the other day about the link between vaccinations and sids. But I guarentee no DR will say that or researchers as well.

This makes me SO MAD!!!!!!!!!! :ph34r:

It's only telling part of the truth, and presenting it in a misleading way.

Yes, vaccine manufacturers stopped producing most vaccines preserved with thimerosal in 2001. But they were allowed to continue to SELL the thimerosal-containing vaccines that had already been produced, and doctors were allowed to continue using them.

I know my daughter was nearly given a thimerosal-containing HIB vaccine in 2003. I know, because I insisted that the nurse bring me the paper listing the ingredients. She was trying to convince me that the thimerosal had been "taken out." She was wrong, of course.

So children who were given mercury-containing vaccines in 2003 and 2004 (and beyond, if they had flu shots and chicken pox shots, which most kids had) might very well have not been diagnosed until 2007.

This study is crap. They did NOT show that these kids received thimerosal-free vaccines. They just twisted it around to present the conclusion that they wanted.

My opinion is that this has nothing or little to do with celiac and the subject always causes some pretty violent reactions on both sides. People who believe one way or the other ALWAYS cast doubt on any information that doesn't support their position. It's almost like "discussing" abortion or politics. IMO, it either shouldn't be on this forum or it should be in the gab area. This is strictly my opinion.

As a fellow moderator, I agree with Richard. This is a topic area where rational discussion does not take place--just arguments from firmly set minds. If the "lock topic" option were available, I would use it here and now. Like Richard, this is my opinion and does not reflect the position of the celiac.com or the other moderators.

      It's not allergies.   Segments of the protein in corn, yeast, and dairy resemble segments if the protein gluten.  Our antibodies get triggered on the segments no matter where they are from.  Then the antibodies get really confused and attack our own cells which have segments resembling the  protein gluten in the cell membrane.  Hence, Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Did you have a test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)?   Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be very subtle in the early stages.

      All of my other labs are normal though, CBC, metabolic, dexa scan, vitamin levels, ema, giladin peptide igg iga, etc.  Could other allergies like corn or yeast raise this? Should I have allergy testing done for other things?

      @thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on.  We want all the antibodies to go away.  As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked recently?   Hashimoto's thyroiditis can raise tTg IgA antibodies without gluten. Maybe you're getting gluten in your diet or from shampoo/toiletries.  Maybe you've developed an intolerance to other foods, like dairy, oats, corn, or yeast.  One my vitamins used brewer's yeast for a B12 source which, of course, made me ill.  One really has to be a bit of a detective.   Do think about giving the AIP diet a try.  The AIP diet is strict at first, allowing the immune system to calm down.  Later more foods are added back in slowly, checking for possible reactions.

      I do not take medications and my vitamins are certified gluten-free. Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?>  Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?

      That may or may not be true, depending on what that one marker is. Can you ask him specifically what that one marker is and post back about it?
