Same thing exactly as my August 19 post:

Baguette with olive oil from Croatia, fleur de sel, prosciutto, fresh sheep cheese, fresh figs, chestnut honey from Croatia and toasted walnuts. Absolutely amazing. Everyone must try this at least once! :)

Vichyssoise Soup because it is chilly and raining. Love this weather! :)

I love the rain! It's the only thing about PA (other than my family) that I miss. You could share.

I've been eating leftovers for lunch every day. I feed my 1 1/2 year old cousin I babysit for 4 days a week and I usually pop a can of vegetables (he'll eat about 2/3 in a sitting :blink: ) and we split whatever leftover meat I have from the previous night. Pork tenderloin, pot roast, pork chops, steak, ham. We've been having a pretty good time of it. Lunch time is so much more pleasant now that I told his mom that I want him gluten free while he's in the house here. It was just far too complicated trying to feed him whatever gluten she brought him and try to get my own lunch and keep myself uncontaminated. I enjoy his gluten free company a whole lot more too. It's a blast being able to share a bowl of gelato with the little guy for an afternoon treat!

Hot dog on Udi's bun with homemade chili and slaw. Chili and slaw were leftovers, so it was a super easy lunch.

A greek yogurt, and some thai coconut taro crispy things. They're great! They taste like they should be made out of wheat, but it's just coconut and taro flour with sesame and a few other things. Totally recommend them!

Fancy schmancy duck breast salad - wilted greens with seared duck breast using some of its fat to create a red wine vinaigrette to which toasted pine nuts that have been crushed to the vinaigrette; rounds of goat cheese coated in dry crumbs and quickly seared. Not only that but plum chutney to go with all. Incredible.

It varies. Yesterday was a toasted purchased bagel (homemade are so much better!). So, it was the toasted bagel topped with tomato from my garden, ham, poached egg and hollandaise. One of my favourite lunches. I had the one purchased bagel languishing in the freezer (though bagels make far better croutons than purchased bread).

I tried out the Rootbeer Pulled Pork recipe I found on this topic - it was great! Threw a pork shoulder into a crockpot at 9 p.m. with a can of rootbeer and when I woke up it was ready to go. I shredded it and put on some Gluten Free BBQ sauce, dill pickels, and packed 2 pieces of Rudi's white bread. This is my new go to when I don't have time to cook. Also threw a Pea Steamer into the microwave for a side dish.

(Salvaged) Bread crusts with cream cheese and chocolate nut spread, followed by a salad, so the calories sort of cancel out. I've gone about 3 weeks now having a vegetable smoothie for breakfast, and this was in protest that I am not really a rabbit. I would have had the bread for breakfast, but it wouldn't finish cooking!

      Sorry for rambling on so much. It was not clear to me from you first post that, although you have known for several years that gluten had been causing you distress, that you had already eliminated it from your diet.

      Because a close friend has had Celiac for years - I've eliminated gluten after the ER said all I had was a huge pocket of gas several years ago. The gluten will be my 4th autoimmune disease. Thanks so much for all your input!!!

      @ainsleydale1700, the additional test information you provided is very significant!

The immune response that occurs in celiac disease often leads to IgG antibodies against tTG." It looks to me...

      Yes, other health challenges and even severe prolonged emotional distress are thought to be potential triggers for the latent celiac genes. Let me encourage you to get tested for celiac disease as soon as possible so that you can get on with eliminating gluten from your diet, which itself will involve a considerable learning curve in order to become consistent...

      @ainsleydale1700, the additional test information you provided is very significant! Here is the important part: "This test detects IgG antibodies to tTG (tissue transglutaminase), and was performed because your IgA level is below normal. The immune response that occurs in celiac disease often leads to IgG antibodies against tTG." It looks to me that you may be a "seronegative" celiac. The frontline diagnostic tests for celiac disease are IGA tests, especially the tTG-IGA. However, another IGA test ("total IGA") was done to check you for IGA deficiency and you were found to be deficient. That means that the usual IGA tests done to diagnose celiac disease, such as the tTG-IGA, would not be reliable. That is why the IGG testing was done "reflexively" (which means in response to the results of a previous test, i.e., the total IGA test.). The IGG tests are not quite as reliable as the IGA tests for diagnosing celiac disease, meaning, there are more "other" possible causes for elevated IGG test scores. The IGG test did give a borderline positive result, however, so the physician ordered the endoscopy with biopsy to check for damage to the small bowel lining that would be caused by untreated (continuing to consume gluten) celiac disease. The biopsy showed no damage so the doc concluded you do not have celiac disease. However, the monkey wrench in the gears of the doc's conclusion is that he gave you permission to proceed with the gluten free diet which would have allowed for healing of the small bowel lining to commence. How long were you gluten free before the biopsy was taken? And how much damage to the small bowel lining was there to begin with? If the damage was minimal, it might have been fully healed by the time the biopsy was done. And the symptoms you describe involving vitamin and mineral deficiencies, tooth enamel loss, cessation of menses, neuropathy, constipation alternating with diarrhea . . . IMO all scream of celiac disease as opposed to NCGS.

      Yes, other health challenges and even severe prolonged emotional distress are thought to be potential triggers for the latent celiac genes. Let me encourage you to get tested for celiac disease as soon as possible so that you can get on with eliminating gluten from your diet, which itself will involve a considerable learning curve in order to become consistent at it. Even pills and meds can contain gluten because wheat starch can be used as a filler. It's important to know if you have celiac disease for two reasons. First, it damages the lining of the small bowel and, over time, wears down those billions of little fingers that make up the lining and produce a huge surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. The small bowel is essentially the place where all of our nutrition is absorbed. Long term undiagnosed/ignored celiac disease therefore results in nutritional deficiencies even when we are eating well. You don't need that with the other health issues you are dealing with.  Second, many or most people find it difficult to be consistent with the gluten free diet if they don't have a formal diagnosis of celiac disease. It is just too inconvenient and limiting and they begin to rationalize that, "Well, maybe my problems are due to something else." Human nature has a remarkable capacity to rationalize. It can be argued that you can cheat a little bit on the gluten free diet with NCGS because it only creates a little discomfort and distress but not damage. That doesn't work with celiac disease. So, I feel it is important to know which you are dealing with, especially in the case where you have not yet begun the gluten free diet and you are a good candidate for beginning testing. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet before they get tested for celiac disease and then they have to go back on gluten for weeks or months, the so-called "gluten challenge", in order to achieve valid test results. By the way, autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. When you get one, it is very common to develop others in time.

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      By ainsleydale1700 · Posted

      Thank you!  I have the classic symptoms while eating gluten-constipation, diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, etc.  My main problems right now are elsewhere in my body.  Dental issues...my teeth started breaking.  I had two teeth break in the past month.  My dentist looked at my teeth with a camera and said I have no enamel left.  Im really struggling with neuropathy, and gynecological conditions.  My periods stopped 6 years ago and Im not in perimenopause or menopause.  When I consume gluten, my resting HR goes up about 30 points, and takes a week or so to normalize.  The list goes on, its very overwhelming Ongoing vitamin D deficiency, magnesium, iron, blood creatinine is always low, dont know if thats relevant. Below is from the Celiac panel, otherwise the results were normal.  Not crazy high, but I wasnt aware the Celiac panel was included in the bloodwork.  So I didnt prepare for it in advance, and Ive been on a gluten-free diet for the past 4 years High t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG: 7, Reference Interval: 0-5, Unit: U/mL This test detects IgG antibodies to tTG (tissue transglutaminase), and was performed because your IgA level is below normal. The immune response that occurs in celiac disease often leads to IgG antibodies against tTG.   I know I have a bad reaction to gluten.  But with the low likelihood of Celiac, any guidance on other paths to explore would be greatly appreciated!  Ive been trying to figure this out for years now, and more issues keep coming up.  It has been so overwhelming.  Thanks again.
