God bless the local Chinese restaurant owner. I came in just before the dinner rush, gave him a crash course in celiac, and he was sooooooo helpful. Not only was he pleasant and very understanding about the severity of the disease and the need for CC precautions, he even offered to make special food for me! He made me fried rice in a clean wok w/o gluteny soy sauce or seasonings :D and I had shrimp with lobster sauce, which is a white sauce thickened with corn starch. needless to say, I was a VERY happy girl. I could tell he got it when he put my food in a separate bag "just to be extra careful" and made sure they didn't even put fortune cookies or those crispy wonton things in with it...now that's careful! His English was excellent, and he was so nice about the whole thing. I was absolutely thrilled to be able to get takeout!

Just wanted to share my experiences!

I am going to be in CT this summer visiting family. Would you mind sharing the name/location of your wonderful Chinese restaurant? I am salivating as I think about it!

I am jealous! That is one thing that I miss the most and can't seem to replicate at home.

Congrats!! Where in CT are you? There are 2 Chinese restaurants in Westchester (NY) that have very extensive gluten-free menus. One of them is in Rye, so depending where in CT you are, you may be close that one.

Yeah Avon is definately not near Westchester (although a really lovely town). Fortunately both of these restaurants are near Scarsdale. The closer one to Scarsdale is in Ardsley. It's called Golden Wok. I actually just came home a little while ago from getting take out from there.

The other one, which is only about 15 minutes (at most) from Scarsdale, is Ray's Cafe in Rye Brook.

Both are incredible. Hope you get to try them next time you are in the area.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.
