Well I spent the night at my sister's to see my parents who are visiting from out of town. I was worried about CC in her kitchen or someone's feelings getting hurt if I made a request, but my family was so awesome and supportive! :D

They made sure they did every little thing per my instructions and asked lots of questions to make sure they got it right. Despite using my sister's cookware and my dad leaving toast crumbs all over the kitchen, I did not get sick! I had been so nervous going over there but everything went much better than I expected.

We're supposed to go back tomorrow. I bought gluten-free ingredients to make a gluten-free cake for my son so I could eat some too, but now I have the flu and don't have the energy to bake. We'll just have to buy a regular one and I'll bake his gluten-free cake next week. I know he won't mind. I'm gargling like crazy and putting H2O2 in my ears regularly to try and kill this thing. The last thing I want is to miss my son's birthday party tomorrow! First it was the snow, now this. I really wanted to see my parents for more than one day before they leave, and I'm really sad! :(

That's wonderful! Wish my family was half as supportive.

I am mounting an assault and gaining troops so to speak in this behalf since many in my family has this same condition. It just takes a lot of finegaling meanwhile for them to get it and be convinced its worthwhile and necessary.

Meanwhile....I am hoping your gargle doesn't have (grain based) alcohol in it. You are just using salt water, right? Various anti catahral herbs (not tinctures) can also help as well as the usual chicken soup with lots of onions, garlic and cooked veggies...

The gargle was just salt water. And I used hydrogen peroxide once (diluted, of course.)

The belated xmas dinner was fabulous last night! It was 100% gluten free. I must have my family under some spell because they forgot to buy rolls! haha We even had gluten-free gravy. My brother-in-law-to-be did an amazing job with the potato starch!! I haven't had gravy in almost a decade!

I was too sick to bake a gluten-free cake, so we bought him one at the store and I had some soy egg nog for desert. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. I got to pig out on Lay's potato chips all day, and my sister and I baked sweet potato & beet chips in the oven. I think maybe I got a tiny bit of residue off her baking sheets because I forgot to ask her to line them with foil, but I didn't actually get really sick...the beets are just passing through a little faster than they should be. I can't say it was for her lack of trying to be gluten-free, though! totally my fault.

I think after this I won't feel so nervous eating at other peoples' houses. It is actually possible. :)

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa
