Hi everyone

I'm new on here or any forum for that matter.

Hope i'm doing this right?

I'm a mother of a nineteen yr old daughter in Australia, (who doesn't live with me) with celiac.(newly diagnosed)

She is at present a total mess and i'm trying to help her out with diet etc. I have been experimentig with recipes for her to try ( which is no easy feat as she is an extremely fussy eater and eats very little meat) .

So far we've found some good recipes for her fav's such as macaroni cheese and spag bol.

Any way my issue at the moment is bread !!

I think I have found a good bread mix we can try for making our own at home, but I need to know if yeast is wheat and gluten free or not ??

thanks heaps to anyone who can help me . ;)

Make sure the bread mix is gluten-free.

Most yeasts should be gluten-free, but read the label and call/email the company if you have to. It is worth it.

In addition to the advice already given, are you going to make this in your kitchen at home? If yes is that kitchen gluten free? If not you will have to be VERY careful when you make this or any other gluten-free item for her. Do NOT use a bread maker used for wheat based breads. Use a very clean or new baking pan or line one with parchment or tin foil if you don't have one dedicated to gluten-free foods. Don't use a wooden spoon that you use for regular baking. If you use lotion on your hands it is best if you wear gloves when cooking anything for her, just to be on the safe side. Last but not least if you bake bread or cakes for you family at home do wait a couple of days after to bake gluten-free bread as the dust from the flour can take up to 2 days to settle out of the air.

You might also consider a gluten-free 'gift basket' with naturally gluten free foods, veggies, fruits, nut butters, gluten-free crackers, etc.

She is very lucky to have you and the beginning is rough for most of us. Oh one last note, if she has been diagnosed don't forget to get all family members tested, Mom, Dad, siblings. If Mom and/or Dad are also positive then all their first degree relatives need to be tested. Celiac is strongly genetic and it is not unusual for folks to discover that many in the family are also positive, even if they seem asymptomatic.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
