Hello & Welcome. When I think of Chambersburg I think of sweet juicy peaches! I'm from Butler, Pa & I'm the founder of a gluten-free ministry. I travel often & have just passed your area a couple of weeks ago. I know there is a group in Harrisburg & starting in Gettsburg but again a hike for you.

Wehn I went gluten-free years ago no one was around to help me & I wasted so much money on gluten-free foods not even the dog would eat so I understand. That is why now I devote my days to helping newbies frind their way without breaking the bank. I know all the best of the best in gluten-free & test market much in gluten-free foods. Also there is a lot you still can use from your grocery store. We have very limited shopping here so I travel often to stock up on gluten-free items. I had to buy a freezer for this. But I'm not close to finding the cream of the crop here.......I'll be glad to help you in any way I can. Just send me a PM & I'll give you my reg.e-mail addy. Tell me a little about yourself...

Oh, please. You're what? 10 miles from Hagerstown, MD, which even has an UNOs. And waaaaay less than 2 hours from DC. I used to work LITERALLY a stone's throw from the PA line and traveled there from WV daily, so I know EXACTLY where you're talking about. You (and even WE) are probably in the best place to be without being in the City.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
