I just recieved this email from my Congressman:

[Thank you for writing in support of the goals of National Celiac Awareness Month. This is an important issue, and I appreciate your input.

Indeed, celiac disease is significantly under diagnosed in this country, though officially nearly 1% of the population suffers from this disease. As noted in your email, the disease is caused by a reaction to gluten proteins that are often found in wheat products. The only effective treatment for celiac disease is a diet completely free of gluten and other gluten products. I agree with you that the public should be educated as to the causes and effects of this disease. I look forward to discussing this resolution with my colleagues, and will keep your thoughts in mind when it comes to a vote.

Please feel free to contact me in the future with your thoughts. It is always good to hear from you.]

Does anyone have a good response to this letter that I could send as a reply, now that I have my congressman's attention? I'm new to this since my husband and 3 (out of 4) children have just been diagnosed this month. Thank you for your help.

I just received a reply from my congressman too. He included the information that "While celiac disease is the most common genetic disorder in the world, more research is needed to fully understand and properly treat celiac disease."

      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

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
