Need Help Understanding Follow-Up Bloodwork Results

I guess I will need to get both books and research them. I definitely don't want to have to mess with getting a yogurt maker & making the yogurt, so maybe I will go the sauerkraut route. Is that something you just buy already prepared?

Do you know how long it should take to know whether or not the diet is working? Thanks!

It's possible to improvise a yogurt maker. I have a one liter plastic jar with a screw on lid whichI I use. Put the yogurt makings in that and I wrap it in an electric heating pad set on the lowest or second lowest setting for 24 hours. Makes delicious yogurt. :) And easy to store in the fridge too. :D

You need sauerkraut with live bacteria. You can buy Bubbie's brand. My local health food store carries unpasteurized kimchee and fermented beets but the are super-expensive and making sauerkraut is pretty easy once you get the cabbage shredded. My digestion really evened out after a month or so on GAPS. Super-regular, no more random episodes of diarrhea, no bloating, no gas. Unfortunately the brain fog I was looking to fix didn't get better and something I was eating was triggering migraines so I'm reworking my diet again.

      Thanks for your assistance.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption.

      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?

      Thanks for your insight. I've been eating wheat bread at least 5 times a week for several months. I've been eating chicken or eggs 5 days a week for at least a year.
