I would love to talk to some local people who have celiacs, I am the only person I know with celiacs and have been gluten free for about a month and a week. I'm feeling better but still so frustrated with the situation. I don't think it is possible for anyone who doesn't have celiacs to really understand what it's like. Also I'd love to know where I can get some delicious gluten free food or restaurants, without going to a health food store, they're too expensive lol I am 19 and on a tight budget supporting myself and all this gluten free food isn't cheap.

      Blood results

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the tribe! Do discuss the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) with your dietician.  The AIP diet helps while the intestines are healing, lowering potential to develop other food sensitivities.  Be sure to discuss supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  Damaged intestines don't absorb essential nutrients well.  Supplementing while healing boosts absorption and provides vitamins needed for repair.
