Did anyone else have a problem with the fact that it was entitled "Diary of a Celiac" and the woman admittedly does not have Celiac Disease, and talks about "going off the diet" for the "perfect onion ring" or "bite of cake"?!?

This Sunday Globe's Ed/Op had three responses to this article.

Yes, I had a problem with it too!

I actually wrote one of the response, but they misspelled my name.

I realize the very nature of newspapers involve editors making up headlines on the fly... but no one would call someone who was carbohydrate sensitive, following South Beach and label the article: "Diary of a Diabetic"

I realize it is a technicality, but I think till there is more awareness, technicalities are really important.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
