My friend and I are planning on visiting Scotland for about a week and a half this August and we are not sure we want to stay in hostels, but we don't have a huge budget either. Does anyone know of a bed/breakfast or cottage or a place to rent that we could get for a reasonable price that they would recommend?

Also, I can't find much about eating in Scotland. I would really like to go to edinburgh but we have no ideas about where we want to go so we are pretty open to suggestions. Any ideas and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!!

Scotland is an easy country to visit if you have Celiac. It's common there and you do not necessarily have to find official gluten-free restaurants with menu's to eat well. Every time I ordered a meal, I generally got steamed vegetables to go with it. They were good too. Lots of potatoes, more so than rice, and they are big on game and meat, chicken and fish. These can easily be made gluten-free, if you leave off the sauces and have them broiled or grilled, on a clean grill. Pubs may have gluten-free options and their food is generally cheaper. The Scots are far more celiac disease savvy than most Americans and they eat good, fresh foods.

I'm sure they have places with gluten-free menu's but I can't give you names offhand. Do a web search and you'll find listings. Don't sweat it....I found it easy to eat gluten-free in the UK and never got sick once. Have a marvelous time in Edinburgh...it's a fantastic city!

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Chances of being coeliac

      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.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
