Regina Sk Chapter

My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Nov of 2007 after a biopsy. We have periodically checked to see if there are any events or meetings for celiacs in Regina. The Canadian celiac website lists a chapter in Regina, but I have never seen any meetings listed. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is the chapter pretty inactive?

We would like to find a network of people to share tips and questions with in Regina. Anyone out there?

I don't know what's going on with them. It has been 2+ years since I got any newsletter or meeting invites, so my guess would be inactive :(... Even when I spoke with a lady who used to be the Celiac dietician here in Regina she said she didn't know what was going on with them.

I think I am going to have to try and join the Saskatoon one. I suggest you should, also. I have been told they have much better newsletters.

It really sucks because when I moved to Regina is when the Chapter seemed to disappear!

Maybe if we can get a few more people interested we could start up the Regina chapter again.

That would be so nice!!! I was never able to come out to any of the meetings or parties. The letters were also nice because the one had a whole list of where to eat/where to buy food.

Whenever I can get to see the current Celiac dietician (I haven't had the way to go drop of referral letter from my doc yet) I'll also ask her what is going on or how a person could get things going again.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
