I've been through so much the last 6 months medically. I have a friend that keeps grilling me to help in my kid's class. She thinks I'm not doing my part and hinting at it. Not sure what to do? Truey going to tell her where to go, just drives me nuts.

Just tell her you help when and where you can when your health permits. Don't try to make excuses, just leave it at that.

Three years ago the president of the schools P&C (parents & citizens) strangely arrived at my sons school bus stop. He had a box of old books and so on and asked if I'd help with the school fete/fair.

Turns out I had completely and unknowingly accepted responsibility for making the fete/fair happen.

Truely bizarre and I was at my very worst at the time.

School parent dynamics are peculiar to me :blink:

I am shy and try to keep coeliac to myself, have friends who are doctors and lawyers and they still dont get it so good luck explaining anti bodies to the average joe and the maybe maybe nature of the disease. YOU MIGHT get cancer at 40 or you might be diagnosed Coeliac at 87 lol like someone local to me.

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption? 
    • knitty kitty
      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
