Welcome hazeleyes70. I am here for my daughter who was tested in Sept 09 for Gluten. Her hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's diagnosis is what prompted the blood test.

I am very interested in learning what your test results discovered and hoping for the best for you!! Do you mind me asking if you have any thyroid issues or suffer other types of symptoms? Thank you and Happy Healthy New Year!!

Hello! I am from the Carmel area! I don't know if you are from Indianapolis, but I have Celiac and have had it for over 12 years, and am pretty sure both my boys have it too! Would love to meet others here in the area with Celiac! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi! I'm from Indianapolis. I just saw your post for the first time.......can't believe Janet didn't tell me <_<

I am self-diagnosed and have been gluten free for 3 years. My adult daughter has recently accepted the fact that she also must omit gluten. I tried to tell her years ago, but, you know, she had to figure it out for herself.

Welcome! :D

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      Vegetarians and vegans with celiac disease

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.
