Daughter had a igg neg and iga positive (strong).

Her doctor wanted further specific celiac blood tests which all came back neg.

What's that mean?

Blood tests are notoriously unreliable. My son and I both tested IGA positive, with negative IGG and TTG, yet we both have Celiac. IGA positive is a "less reliable" indictor for Celiac, because many kinds of inflammation can cause elevated IGA. Does your daughter have symptoms?

It means you should try the diet after all testing is finished. If she is having a biopsy wait until the day that is done and start the diet the minute the test is completed. You don't need to wait on the results and may have your answer by her response to the diet before you even go to the return visit to get them.

I hope you are getting on the diet as well despite those negative blood tests. It sure does look like you are both in the right place. I am sorry about the early loss of your Mom. Since I was finally diagnosed I often think of mine and wonder if she might still be with me if they had figured out how strongly celiac runs in our family. I think a couple of months into the diet both you and your daugther will feel like new people.

We are gluten free from here on out. One thing I've really gotten into as well is PH. I had no idea that a lower PH in the body actually mimics IBS symptoms and can lead to all diseases and cancer. I went to Lowes and picked up a pool test kit. My PH was in the gutter. Even though I was glutten free , I was still eating 100% acid. I'm changing that as well. I think some people who test neg but feel better after losing gluten is because gluten is PEGGED on the acid chart which lowers the PH and makes people sick. The reason everyone feels tired after a thanksgiving meal isn't the turkey, it's the fact that every item on the table is an acid, including the canned veggies.

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
