I'm overwhelmed with information, and I'm hungry!!! My girlfriend found the Healthy Choice chicken rice soup, and made some gluton free brownie's for my B-day that I munch on....ummm banana's, apples. I had been gluten-free for a week and was so amazed at the results!!! Wow Wow Wow......and finally ...Wow! Then we went for Sushi last night we my daughter and boyfriend. I have been so sick! Every symptom has come back with a vengence.

PS: I'm not diagnosed , Dr. told me to try to gluton free and set me up for the GI consult. Now I wonder if I need to continue killing myself to get the positive test???

Confused and overwhelmed.....and hungry

To get accurate testing for celiac you need to be eating gluten... Your doctor is wrong by telling you to go gluten-free then see a GI doc.. He's got it A__ __ backwards......Plus I assume you are an adult& you tried going gluten-free & felt instant relief when not eating gluten.Then you went to a sushi place & got sick... That should help you make your choice..

Not everyone needs a stamped certificate stating you need to be gluten-free... It' s your choice to get tested or not be tested... With children they need to be tested & dx'd for school...adults can make their own choice ...

If you are gonna get tested than you got keep eating gluten. If you stop eating it the test can come back negitive. So decide if you want an offical dignostic. If not you can do a gluten challenge but that can be negative to.

Thats up to you.

I would 'like' an official diagnosis so I would know what to do with my kids (who are very young still), and to convince my mom and sister who have problems and are stubborn to get tested. But honestly I feel so much better I don't want to go back to gluten or the ridiculous cost of testing.

I haven't tried sushi yet, I believe not all rice is gluten free, most soy sauce is 60% wheat also. You actually have to buy soy sauce thats gluten free (kind of messed up that soy sauce is mostly made of wheat normally).

Sushi is hard. Not only do you have to avoid the regular soy sauce, but some of the other sauces used in the sushi also have gluten. Like the sauce they use on the smoked eel (which was my favorite before going gluten-free). And teriyaki sauce can have glutent too. Doesn't leave much options except for lots of edimame :)

Most soy sauce has wheat unless you buy gluten free Tamari soy sauce, which is 100% soy. But not all Tamari sauces are gluten free, so make sure it says so on the label.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
