All right, children! Back in the bus!!!!

Hey!! Hey!! You too!!!

So in all seriousness, exactly what effect was our abundant usage of smileyfaces having on the board?

(Has Scott put us all on 'check once a year' status?.... :ph34r: )

Um, Colleen, I think that you need to join the sillyville thread after THAT post. That's one of the funniest things I've read on this board in awhile :lol:

(that is an open invitation to all members, as well).

Yes, there could be a social breakdown here at the board, rife with misunderstandings and miscommunication ensuing from the loss of our 'Picture is worth a thousand nicer words' emoticons.

This is serious!

It is truly serious.

Look closely, for example, at the differences between these two sentences:

You are a disgusting pig. :angry:

You are a disgusting pig. :lol:

So vital is the emoticon to the inherent meaning of each sentence! And if you are telling more than ten people that they are disgusting within one post, man.. . . you're screwed now. . . .....

:huh::lol::rolleyes:

      I think giving attention to the main sources of exposure such as direct consumption of gluten and gross cross contamination with reasonable attention to handwashing and thorough counter top cleaning and dishwashing should cover cross contamination issues. The biggest precautions would be eating in restaurants and at other's homes. Don't get paranoia over it and don't make trouble where there is none. As far a what you communicate with your physicians, just tell them what you know. Strongly positive antibody tests, negative biopsy, positive symptoms when consuming gluten with clearing of symptoms when gluten free.

      Occasionally we do see anomalies where celiac antibody tests are positive but biopsies are negative, and even visa versa. Sometimes, damage to the small bowel lining is patchy and unless numerous samples are taken from various areas, the damage can be missed. So, there's that issue as well. I think in your situation, the tell-tale indicator is the difference in symptoms between when you were off gluten and when you were consuming it.

      Okay, that makes sense - so based off of the 90% odds that it is positive, it’s worth switching to fully gluten-free? How strict do I need to be with cross-contamination, handling, etc. Is it something that can go by feel, for instance if I feel okay making my family sandwiches and handling the bread as opposed to eating it, or is it something that is causing silent damage even if I feel fine? Also, do I make it clear to my rheumatologist and other medical providers that I am celiac? Or will they veto that due to negative endoscopy? Thanks again for the help!

      If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate that you very likely have celiac disease, especially if you also have symptoms while eating gluten that go away when you stop eating it (although many celiacs don't have obvious symptoms).
