Hi Folks!

First I'd just like to say whilst am here and have the chance to...

For the record I am both better and the same as far as all my "digestive issues" ... my "blood tests came back as negative at ( 2 < 20 Iga) :( (And I only withdrew gluten Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon and then pigged out on wheat ALL day Sunday & Monday morn before they took the blood!) Now I have finally got an appt to see a GI (Celiac familiar too! :D on April 7th, meanwhile I am even "eating foods" (as in plural or variety), have halted "losing" weight but staying at 119, and now have been gluten free about a week I think, (had some errors with my "antacid meds" which led me to this post today actually). My D continues BUT it is no longer so, hmmm how to say it, pressurized I am happy to say, though unfortunately my "malabsorbtion issue" is all to obviously apparent by the fact that, hmmmm again let's see, well ya know how "corn goes in and out pretty much the same" in my case EVERYTHING does just that, even Iceberg Lettuce looks da same in and out <_< Anyhoo... now I'm babbling about me... on to the point of the post!

While I am not at all sure just how many fellow "Canadians" there are as members or even readers of the forums, BUT heck I know I am, so I figured that this particular "gluten-free List" would and could be a benefit to others to have and so I decided to share it in a post here today... For me one of the more difficult aspects of "going gluten-free" has proven to be NOT my "food" so much but more frequently with "OTC & Prescription Medications", which I take many of, for both other ailments and my newer too significant "digestive symptoms". From my Synthroid med to painkiller to "antacid & Immodioum" discovering whether they were safe "Gluten wise" took me journey after journey to the pharmacy counter to ask "please check this for me" and unfortunately, quite a few "trial & errors" too, before one of the Pharmacists so kindly "ripped out the list page from the BIG blue CPS book and gave me a "photocopy" of it... (an earthly angel she is ;) I hope it may save others some of my own errors and make their Celiac journey a tad easier perhaps. The list below is copyright by the publisher and is transcribed verbatim as it appears upon the photocopied page, it is shared here without gain and it should NOT be used in any way to "obtain profit". Please note; I will also be posting another small list table of a very few "Gluten containing" Pharmacuticals within CPS, along with the 'information text" on the particulars of Celiac Disease intended to educate and inform Pharmacists consulting the CPS. And I'll do that for ya, just as soon as I get my next "bathroom break" (away from it that is eh :lol:

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      Chances of being coeliac

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
