Thank you so much to everyone on here that listen to me whine yesterday. Now I feel like a big dope. I dont know what happend to me yesterday. I was tired and hungry and freaked out. My husband came home early to take me to Whole foods. I got some bread that was like eating poison. Even the ducks wont eat it!!!!!TRUE STORY!!!!! Any way I got rice checks and m&ms and Edys ice cream. I think to day is looking better. Did any one on here ever hire a nutritionist? Or is that a waste of money. I dont have money to waste but have an appointment with one but wondering if I really need it. It is $125.00 an hour. Just want some opinions on that. I look forward to having a much better day and hope all of you do too.

And a special thanks to mommagoose

There is an edit function! Thank goodness... so you can go back for 48 hours I think if you need to correct some spelling errors.

Stay away from the 10 ton bread. You remember what regular bread tastes like, don't try the gluten-free versions for a while. Or better yet, just bake your own. It's much better!!!

Don't feel like a dope, we've all been there. It's a process. We'll understand when no one else will.

Val,

I am so please that you are feeling better. You have found a support system no better, than here.

I would make sure that you have your blood work done, routinely as you travel through the diet. Some of your numbers were mighty low. I don't often recommend a nutritionist (I never went to one) but in your case, it might be a good choice. It will help you get on track with good foods. ;)

Another great book is Dangerous Grains, by Dr. Peter Green.

Buy the Triumph Grocery Guide and make this site your new best friend. Everything will look up from then on. :D

Hugs, Lisa

Hey friend,

's o.k. I did a lot of that too. It's kinda like being blindsided and vunerable, and having some self determination taken away. It's scary to begin with.

But look at you today, already taking steps in making choices.

You're going to be o.k.

Educate yourself, that's the key.

      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!!

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      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!
