Looking For Celiac-Friendly Work In Sw Pennsylvania

I eliminated gluten over a month ago and realized I was poisoning myself with a wheat-based diet. Celiac runs in the family. I am unemployed and this has futher narrowed my options. I am in Somerset, but I would like to move closer to somewhere like Ligonier or Mt. Pleasant, where there seem to be more gluten-free businesses.

I don't think I can work full-time during my healing process, and I am looking for a sympathetic employer. I am even looking for an understanding person who can pay me to pull weeds, etc.! Looking for advice or help here because I have no income and am running out of options (even with a degree and good resume). Thanks.

      Symptom treatment of gluten exposure with Anti-inflammatories

      By Bronwyn W · Posted

      Hi, Please can I ask for opinions on using Anti-inflammatories for symptom treatment of inadvertent gluten exposure? Should it be part of a foundational treatment plan, upon inadvertent exposure? Kind Regards,  Bronwyn

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that test/lab so in reality your antibodies might not have jumped up at all between these two tests.

      Does this mean those could raise IgA and TTG IgA in celiacs?

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      One lab said normal range for IgA is 45-325 and TTG IgA anything above 15 means positive for Anitbody    For this one my IGA was 415 and TTG IgA 16.3    The other lab 3 months later said IgA range is 75-425 and TTG IgA anything below 20 is negative, 20-30 weak positive, 30+ positive.  For this one my IGA was 456 and TTG IgA 30.2 CU
