this is a tester I have posted 3 messages to the group, and I have not gotten any response to any of them. I do get an e-mail saying Melimba2002, me, sent you a message. So it looks and sounds like I am sending messages to myself. What am I doing wrong??? THANKS IN ADvance Mindy

I can only see one other post by you. That makes two, counting this one. The other one has a number of replies. Posts here are reviewed by moderators and then pinned. Posts which have not yet been pinned are less visible, and may not attract as many readers. I am pinning this topic as I reply.

THANK-YOU SO MUCH for replying. I was so ready to unjoin. I have to apologize first off, I am not very computer savee. So the very basics to get me started. How do I go about sending a message from me. All the messages have to be pinned first... Is that the case with all my messages? Is there something special I have to do that everyone reads them? I know I sound pretty dumb I am sorry, this gluten free stuff is mind boggling and this forum is challenging too!! Thanks for your time!!!! Mindy

Hey there! Thanks for sticking around. :D

Do you want to send a private message to someone, like an email? Or are you confused about posting?

When you post a new topic, we pin them for you. So, all you have to do is post under the specific topic, and we'll see it and make sure it is in the right place, and then pin it. Just like you did with this message. ;)

And don't worry about asking questions... that's why we are all here.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
