Silly Question

Hi everybody... I am new to the forum, was just finally offically diagnosed the other day. My 9 year old daughter will be having her upper endoscopy this week and I am expecting the same results. Anyway, since I am brand new, I've been reading lots of posts and am wondering... what does CC mean??? I have not come across that term before...

thanks guys! I can see that I am really in for an adventure. I am glad to find this forum for support and as a source for information... but I have to tell you, it's also scaring the heck out of me! I'm thinking "we'll just cut out the gluten and everything will be fine" and now I'm reading about buying all new cookware... getting sick from just HANDLING other people's food... I've gotta tell you, I am REALLY nervous now!!! :(

It seems overwhelming at first, but you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. I can't believe my daughter has been gluten-free for over a year now. I know that we started out with a somewhat limited but safe repertoire of food. Then gradually added (or rather modified our old family favourites) and have greatly expanded our meal options.

You don't necessarily need to buy new cookware. You need to replace scratched up nonstick cookware, otherwise, just give your metal pots and pans a good scrub down. You need to get a new toaster, cutting board, and strainer. Throw out your wooden utensils. If the whole house is not going gluten-free, you need to have separate butters, peanut butters, jellys, etc . . . anything that you dip your knife into and can transfer crumbs to. You'll make mistakes and you'll learn from them. We all do.

There is a wealth of information and lots of people to help in this forum just ask.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
