I just need to vent about this experience. I normally wouldn't complain on the board, I would complain to my family. However, my family is involved!!

My mom is getting married tomorrow! :) We had the rehersal dinner tonight, at of all places, an Italian restaurant. Now I can normally get away with something simple in these situations. Something such as a buger no bun. Well, not tonight! I was served some sort of processed something or another. It smelled like seafood and looked like a pizza burger. I asked if it was 100% pure beef or if there were fillers. I was looked at like they had just witnessed alliens landing. :o The waitress brought out the manager. He said he could go print a list of ingredients. I thought... PERFECT! I could see what was in there and approve it myself. He brought back a piece of paper that had Nutrition Facts and told me it was pure beef because it didn't list anything. <_< Now I only took 2 bites of the burger before I realized it was wrong and then didn't eat anymore. But as we all know, one crumb is all it takes!

This is the true problem..... :(

My mom is sleeping here tonight. She is not back from the dinner yet. I had to leave early as it is a 45 minute drive and my stomach was in knots. I don't want her to feel bad!!! She really tried for me. I feel like a heal because I stink and I am miserable so there is no way of hiding it. I am her matron of honor tomorrow! I somehow have to pull it together starting at 8am for hair appts through who knows when tomorrow night. We are having a bonfire here after the reception is over at 8:30pm. (she is getting remarried so it is not a traditional wedding) The good thing is that I will be outside all afternoon and evening. That way the wind can blow it away! :rolleyes:

Why does this always happen at the most inconvenient times? :angry:

I totally know what you mean! Anytime I ask questions I get all the weird looks. Like when I ask if they use a dedicated frier for their fries. I hope you feel better soon.

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!
