Hi,

I just made brown belt... Took me just over 2 years, probably averaged 7 hours a week in the dojo.

I would love to connect with other celiacs with this interest.

HI Virginiabeach!

My name is Amy, I live in Alaska. I am 41. What martial art are you taking? I did Shorin Ryu karate for 2 years and a weapons class for 1 when I lived in CA. Now I am taking Seibukan Jujutsu, just got my sankyu on Thursday. (2nd green belt, the belts are different than in Karate). I am also taking Battojutsu which is a sword class.

I really love the weapons stuff btw. In Kobudo we used traditional okinawan weapons, I did bo, sai and just started on nunchaku when I had to move. In Seibukan we use tanto, bokken, jo (a short staff), a small piece of rope that I can't remember the name of and an even smaller tiny piece of wood.

In Battojutsu you use a wooden sword called a bokken also an unsharpened katana. When you get higher up in ranks you actually get to cut mats and need a shinken (sharp katana). Oh I could go on and on. Here is a photo of me at a workshop I was lucky enough to be able to attend. I actually had only been in batto for 2 months and the Shihon came to visit. I was allowed to cut some mats, which was extraordinary! Here is a photo. Open Original Shared Link

I just found out Friday afternoon that I most likely have celiacs, I have been having problems for over 1 year, maybe 2. There were times when I would be driving to class and feel like crap but somehow almost always I would feel better just in time. Maybe it was a mental thing where I wasn't focusing on what hurt any longer, I don't know. One of my symptoms was I always seemed to have gas so I was worried about that but thankfully no embarressing moments. Besides the guys always blame the mats anyway, LOL.

I will be going for an endoscopy and biopsy (soon I hope). : )

Nice to meet you, if you want to talk more on martials arts just let me know. I can talk and talk. : )

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      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.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
