My Husband Is The Best.

He has gone from being totally resistant to even tasting my gluten-free food to agreeing to a gluten free house!!!!!

I think what finally made him decide to go gluten-free at home my most recent glutening. He had been using my cooking utensils, and I got SO sick from using a slotted spatula that must have had a little remnant of gluten stuck in it somewhere. I was vomiting and having D for 3 days straight, and then sick and tired for probably a week afterward.

He felt so bad, and a few days ago he agreed to be gluten-free while at home (he's been eating gluten-free Amy's meals at work, even though I don't care what he eats away from home).

I'm so happy. :wub:

My husband and three kids have done the same. It's a Godsend - I don't know how I'd cook two different meals all the time, anyway!!!

Congrats...on converting him.

my husband is fantastic. i mean, really really fantastic. he is so supportive. i do most of the cooking and there has never been a question of there being anything gluteny involved. he also knows how to check to make sure something is gluten free, so whenever he cooks, i know that it's safe. he only goes to the restaurants that i can eat at (at least with me) and never makes me feel like it's an inconvenience. and he's been this way from the first day of my diagnosis. he's such a gem. a resounding cheer for supportive husbands everywhere. they all deserve big, fat, kisses.

I have to agree! My husband has been really cool, too. Ever since he agreed to get rid of the toaster oven and his sourdough toast... we're not totally gluten free (he still has crackers and cookies) we're about 80% of the way there. And since he stopped drinking over two weeks ago, no worries about beer kisses, either.

It's wonderful having someone supportive like that. Really makes a difference! Oh, and he loves the Seattle Brown EnerG bread - I bought it to try and found once it made it in the door that it has potato in it (not listed on the web site I bought it from) so I can't eat it. But he thinks it's great. So he's been chowing on that... I think I'll have to buy him some more!

Yep, no more beer kisses here either. He has stopped drinking beer at home and now joins me in having a Woodchuck.

He has been so great through all of this. He is always looking out for me when we go places, and if he goes somewhere without me he asks if they have anything that I can eat.

He was being very careful in the kitchen with his gluteny food, but apparently "very careful" isn't always careful enough. Anyway, I think it's so nice that he's willing to do this for me, especially since that means no more gluteny frozen pizzas and bread at home (of course he can eat whatever his little heart desires when he's away from home.)

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 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. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
