Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share the good news! I just got back my results on my Tissue Tranglutaminase IgA blood work. Finally they are down to 18! I know it could be a little lower, but this is the lowest it has been for me since going gluten free 18 months ago! Eating gluten free is so much hard work! I feel like I should be rewarded or at least get a metal for all this!..... But, I guess having good health will be my reward and hopefully nothing else falls a apart :P I'm so excited! I feel like doing cartwheels! :D

Thanks everyone for all your help! I know I couldn't have done it without the people on this forum! You all are the best! :)

Glad I was able to be helpful. If I could hand you a medal through the computer I would do so. It is hard but you are doing great. Make sure you do something to celebrate.

Thanks Ravenwoodglass! :) That's a Great idea! I think I might go to P.F. Chang's for dinner this weekend! I've heard so many great things about them and it's a place I used to eat at often before I went gluten free. I've learned how to make their lettuce wraps at home. They're good, but they don't tastes exactly the same. Having the Real ones will be such a treat! :)

Thanks so much IrishHeart!!! :) Hopefully you'll hear the good news soon, too!

I was a little nervous going to P.F. Chang's, but the food was so good and the waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten. He made me feel a little better. And so far so good! I don't have any reactions. I don't think I got any CC, so it will be another place that I can add to my favorite restaurants. Yay! :D

That's great! I am still too raw in the GI tract for eating out just yet, but will keep PF Chang's in mind when I am ready.

Again, I am happy for you and wish you continued good health!!!!!! :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
