Hey Green Bay Wisconsin,

I am looking for some friends in our area that would like to exchange emails and share our triumphs and trials as I feel quite alone with this.

Looking forward to hearing from as many of you as possible.

We are. :) I don't think Green Bay is a very gluten free friendly community is it?

Anyway, my husband went gluten free at the end of December and so did my 13 yr old. Husband last week reintroduced gluten back in and is finally seeing symptoms return...so he'll be back gluten free again soon I believe. My daughter has ADHD and has been having joint pain and stiffness for 2 yrs...since going gluten free it all went away :). Hoping the gluten free helps her ADHD as well. So I'm cooking gluten free but I personally am not gluten free...but mostly am..LOL.

I'd love to discuss meals and gluten free shopping and eating out in this area. It sometimes does get difficult.

Hope you are doing well.

Hello I am from Little Chute. Havent been on in a while. I am Gluten Free and soon to be Dairy and Nut free. I am feeling pretty low about it today. I am not as upset about the nuts as the Dairy. Since July 1 going gluten free I have added a lot more dairy into my diet...as if that was possible. I am looking for people in the area as well. I found a GREAT source of information in an Appleton store. They sell a lot of gluten free as the owners both have celiacs and they supply me w/ tons of valuable info.

My name is Jody and hope to hear from you!

hi thumper,

i'm not from green bay, but i'm a packers fan since childhood as my uncle is from there...does that count? ;)

no matter where we live, i think we can still provide support to each other through these boards. it's why i joined! a gluten-free diet is virtually unheard of here in Holland, land of bread and beer. lucky for me, there's good cheese here at least.

best wishes,

janel

Carecare,

My mom is comming to visit and she has Celiac Disease. If you could direct me in a place to shop for her I would appreciate it. She will be here the 13th of June so the sooner I can find a place the better off we'll both be. Thank you so much.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.    
    • Scott Adams
      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?
