This past weekend I decided to travel home to Indiana to attend my family reunion. I almost didn't go because I'm still struggling with not feeling well. Also, my family can really cook. I knew I would face every good food imaginable. But the desire to see family won so I packed my car with a cooler and a suitcase full of food and headed out on an 8 hour drive. :)

When I arrived at the reunion it smelled like heaven. At first I was disheartened, but because I had pre-cooked food and some of my family members had made dishes for me I had plenty to eat. Now grant it, it wasn't all of the foods I'm used to eating but I ate well, enjoyed my family, and best of all - I didn't get sick!! This was a big challenge for me but I proved a lot to myself. Now I know I can take a vacation without going hungry or getting sick. :)

I am encouraged!

That's wonderful!

I guess I'm "lucky" because so many people in my family are gluten free that when I go home, my grandmother makes a gluten-free version of many of her great dishes and they're just as delicious. If my sister and I are both home, that's 3 celiacs in one house. There seems to be another member of my family being diagnosed or deciding to eat gluten-free every year.

But, as always, it's smart to bring something for yourself to any gathering, just in case.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
