The Blood Tests Are Back

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share our joy. Katharine had her GI checkup in June. Her Ttg's came back at 85. I was amazed as I thought we were doing great. But obviously not. She hadn't had her rash or weird bm's or anything but they were up none the less. So here we go again on the hunt for hidden gluten.

I made 2 changes as far as food goes as everything else was gluten free printed on the packages or whole foods that we were using. I stopped using Kraft cheese as they won't garuntee gluten free, they just say the mark it clearly on the label. Now I use wal mart singles and walmart brick cheese which state they are gluten free on the package. And we no longer use Nestle tollhouse chocolate chips. We use good for life. With those 2 changes and having our house 100% gluten-free her numbers went from 85 to 56 in about 6 weeks! I am not sure which one did the trick, but it did. Hooray! I know we still have a ways to go to get under 20 but I am so happy we have made a break through! We are having the tests run again in a couple of months that way if they go above 56 we will know something is happening at school. First grade this year and a whole new ball game with the cafeteria, should be fun...

Wish us luck!

Thanks for reading and sharing our success with me!

That's great - I hope they keep going down. I have had my own experiences with elevated AGA-IGA after a year gluten free...made me want to send everything in my house off to a lab to be tested for gluten, lol. Thanks for posting your experiences and what you changed.

BTW, I have had some trouble (slight) with Kraft shredded cheese. Since they don't have any wheat labeled, I have assumed this was because of corn (I have symptoms with both). Maybe not...

      Celiac Disease Dietician

      By Denise I · Posted

      I am trying to find a Celiac Dietician who works with the Celiac Disease Foundation.  They don't have to be located in my area because I can do video visits. Can anyone help with this?

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks
