Hey there, I'm new to the site...I'm not QUITE gluten free yet. I'm still in the hunting and gathering stage. There is SO MUCH to get to have a fully stocked pantry...so I'm still getting everything together. I will say that I've put together a few gluten free meals and I already feel better!!! I've been doing what I can to avoid gluten...but as a newb, I'm making plenty of mistakes...I suppose I'll learn and improve as time goes by. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say that you'll probably be getting LOTS of questions from me!!! :D

Welcome! You've come to the right place! :)

Lots and lots of info and support on here, and so many intelligent people who've been there and done it all. I don't know what I would have done without this forum when I first came home from the GI, completely overwhelmed and shellshocked.

Great that you've found this special place!

I totally agree.....welcome to the forum.

PLEASE do ask many questions. It is the only way that you can learn and then be able to help others that will be newbies later.....

I'm in the same boat as you knit...diagnosed 2 weeks ago today. I'm trying to balance learning and gathering information with my work schedule (a lot of late nights and work through lunches). I wish us lots of luck!

I love your Avatar!

I'm new also. I feel alternately stunned, happy, peeved, relieved, and fascinated. I hope to learn from your questions as well as my own :)

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JettaGirl · Posted

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
