Questions From An Scd Newbie

Hello Everyone,

This is only my second time posting on the forum, so sorry if I'm not doing it right!

I was diagnosed with celiac in September 2008 (positive blood tests and biopsy) and have been gluten free since then. My gastro symptoms have really not gotten noticeably better at all, so I've decided to try SCD to see if things improve. I just have a couple of questions for all of you SCD pros out there:

1. I was so excited to try my SCD yogurt this morning when it was ready and was a bit surprised at how tart it was---so much so that i'm having trouble eatng it. Anyone else experience this? Any way to make it less tart without adding a lot of stuff? Also, it was a little runnier than I'm used to with yogurt. I made this batch with 2% milk--would using whole milk or 1/2 and 1/2 help?

2. I take a daily medication for anxiety, and I'm wondering if I need to be concerned about starch that might be in it--I'm taking Freeda multivitamin and calcium, and I know those are ok, but wondering about this one.....

3. After doing the intro diet for a few days, how long should I be taking to introduce other "legal" foods? I've read Breaking the Vicious Cycle, but it's not entirely clear.....I don't want to jump into certain foods too soon...

4. I was diagnosed last month with osteopenia--this isn't specifically related to SCD, but does anyone know if I should be taken a calcium supplement that also has magnesium (I think I've read something about needing magnesium for maximum absorption...is it enough if there is magnesium in my multi)?

Thanks so much for any advice!!

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
