Screening For Relatives?

Hi! You will have to pardon me, I am new to these forums and really dont' know how to navigate all that well.

I have two boys age 7 and 3. I had their allergist/immunologist order screening for them. They both have had issues. Long story short for the past 1 almost 2 years they have both dramatically improved and are hardly getting sick. My oldest had a total serum IgA of 54 with a reference range of 22-157 and an IgA tTG of 2 with a reference range of normal low < 20 normal high. The youngest had a total serum IgA of 89 with a reference range of 22-157 and an IgA tTG of 1 with a reference range of normal low < 20 normal high. I have a copy of their labs work but the doctor has not informed me officially of the results. I do not believe they have a problem at this time. I did not have the genetic testing done on them because my insurance will not pay for it. Anyway even if they had the gene/s that does not mean they will develop it. I also have not had the gene test for the same reason and even if I do, it probably won

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Jay Heying · Posted

      Hello everyone, this my first time to this website and I need some help. I’m 65 years old and have been living with Celiacs for about 15 years. My doctor has suggested I start taking a probiotic named  Integrative Pro-Flora-Concentrae. Has anyone else used this probiotic specifically? If this one isn’t celiac friendly can you recommend another please. Thank you.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.
