Yesterday I saw this bumper sticker: "Only speeding cause I have to poop!" It showed a poop picture too...I really had to laugh...since I've actually had to speed really fast one time before being diagnosed...because I had to poop!! It's healthy to laugh. :)

Before (and now after a couple times when I get cc'ed) I have had to rush to get home. The problem is that before I got diagnosed I traveled strictly by subway. And you can't make those go any faster. They really should be required to have bathrooms at all subway stations. When things were really bad before diagnosis and I had days where I got D I would take cabs home from work for fear of the subway breaking down and not being able to get off and find a bathroom.

Haha, I need to get one for my husband! He has no diagnosed issues, just has a sensitive stomach to greasy foods. I am pretty sure he has played the speeding game several times!

Hilarious!! Before I was dx'ed, I actually developed agoraphobia because of an intense fear that I would have to poo and I wouldn't find a bathroom in time. We didn't eat out for 2 years (it usually hit me after a meal)!

Anyway, I found the bumper sticker online....

But if you're out walking the dog you can't speed :huh: I actually went tp someone's door, asked if I could tie my dog to her fence post and use the bathroom because I was not going to make it home. I think she was afraid it was a home invasion or something but the desperate look on my face must hve convinced her. :lol:

Before DX, I had a few such emergencies. Many times, I found myself with my key in the lock, praying I would get inside fast enough. :unsure:

When I was still teaching, I had to leave the room a few times, using the guise of "Break into groups and discuss (fill in the blank)..."

And the absolute worse case scenario arose twice:

We only have one bathroom. Occupied.

Hmm...omygosh, whatamIgonna do????....think think.... :unsure:

A lined wastebasket. :ph34r:

and the ever-popular--

Outside (fortunately we live in the remote countryside....) :rolleyes:

Cannot tell you how happy I am to no longer suffer such indignities. :)

That is so great! Many times I have wondered if I could get out of a speeding ticket if I got pulled over during those times. Then again the true fear of getting pulled over was the delay, not so much the ticket.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
