I just happened to catch the broadcast on our local morning news. I thought they did a nice job.

I liked the story, but I was irritated by one part, at the end, where she said, "I can't have bread or cookies anymore, but at least I feel better."

This just makes me so mad because it's so untrue. There are some wonderful gluten free breads and cookies out there, and now the general public believes that people with celiac are doomed forever with a diet with no bread or cookies. It's just not true. I have yet to find anything that I couldn't eat before, the food just has to be made with different ingredients.

Sorry, just my little vent. I feel like most people know so little about celiac, and putting this kind of information out there is not helping people understand celiac very well. There was some good information in the story, but this kind of popped out to me and made me upset. :(

      Welcome to the forum, @Hocaco! First, we cannot comment with any certainty on your test values because you did not include the reference ranges for the test. There are no industry standards for the reference ranges and each lab constructs these tests a little differently. Second, recently updated "gluten challenge" guidelines recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks in order to ensure valid celiac blood antibody test results. I would actually recommend 10g of gluten for 4 weeks to be more confident in rendering valid test results. So, I sense that your test results may not be reliable as it sounds like your gluten challenge may not have been vigorous enough.

      had an endoscopy and in my duodenum I had increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes. This was followed by a blood test.    Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA  10 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 13 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA <2 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 6 Endomysial Antibody IgA  negative Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum  101 mg/dL i rarely eat gluten, because in past I was told that I am possibly borderline, but did for 2 weeks prior to blood test  do I have celiac or just sensitive

      Thank you! Yes - this is a company in Spain but their products are available on Amazon in US.

      It's possible, as products made with wheat starch that is rendered to below 20ppm is now considered gluten-free in the USA, and has been in Europe for decades. It would be interesting to know more about the product and technology before trying it. They claim: This is a company in Spain.
