Hello,

I just found this forum this week, and am interested in getting tested for Celiacs. Does anyone know of a good doctor around the Sioux City, Iowa area that actually knows about and understands Celiacs? BTW, I love this forum. Every question I have had, I have been able to find an answer to! Thank you everyone! I hope to get tested this week, and put an end to my "way too many symptoms". Thanks in advance. Angie

If you find one, especially a GI who is helpful, please post, even if it is a while from now. I'm out of state but looking for one for a relative who lives near you. I know it's on the opposite side of the state but there's a celiac disease clinic at the University of Iowa hospital. I don't know if they could help you find a Dr. near Sioux City. If you don't mind the long distance call it might be worth a try.

Hi Missy's mom,

Thank you for the info about Iowa City. I may look into that. I travel to the other side of the state to visit family quite often, so it's not too far out of my way. If I find someone local in Sioux City I will post that too! Thank you!

Just a heads up. If you plan to see one of the celiac disease docs at Iowa City, they will ask you for a referral from another doc. can't get in directly. At least that's what they told me a year ago. Don't let that stop you from calling and asking though.

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I have been looking for new dishes. I was surprised to find dishes made of wheat straw. Are these safe for us? I'm very careful to avoid products that may contain gluten. I never thought I might have to check for wheat in dishes.

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hope07! The reference range would refer to what is considered normal in healthy people. So, 7 or less would mean there is no indication of "active" celiac disease. Apparently, you are doing very will in avoiding gluten. The "Tissue Transglutaminase IGA" is the centerpiece antibody test that clinicians run when checking for celiac disease. My only reservation would be that whenever the TTG-IGA test is run, a "total IGA" test should also be run to check for IGA deficiency. When IGA deficiency is present, other IGA tests, such as the TTG-IGA can be artificially low and result in false positives. In the absence of any symptoms indicating your celiac disease is not under control, however, I would take the result you posted at face value.

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By StevieP. · Posted

      Going on a cruise next week and I’m a celiac. Bought a bottle of GliandinX. Should I just take two tablets per day as a precaution? Never tried this before!! Any help is appreciated!!

      By Hope07 · Posted

      Hola! Not sure if I’m asking this in the right place so apologies if not! I just had a full blood count as part of my first check up after being diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago!! With Covid lockdowns then living in Spain for 3 years and now back in the UK, I kept getting missed in the system but finally I’ve had a check up! Does anyone know what this means?  Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev:  0.30 U/ml Reference range:  Below 7 Thank you!
