Sounds promising. We'll see what develops.

Hope your feeling better today, Kaki!

Why does everyone think WE need fixing, and not the US wheat-heavy diet? Don't give me a drug or shots. I'm perfectly fine. Just get the gluten out of everyone's food! :lol:

Very unrealistic but I agree that the American diet is way too heavy on refined carbohydrates. I am in medicine and see soooo many type 2 diabetics which is largly a disease of lifestyle. When you question them about what they eat, it is bread, pastry , bagels for breakfast, sandwiches, chips, fries for lunch and pastas, more bread etc. for dinner. Celiac or not. No one needs that many carbs in one day. When the Atkins and South Beach Diets were popular it was so easy not to feel strange in restaurants asking for the burger, no bun and side salald instead of fries. Everyone was doing it. One of my easiest lunches is greens with grape tomatoes and a scoop of chicken salad. Minimal carbs and a good way to keep weight down.

      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.    
    • Scott Adams
      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?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
