Hi

Anti-tTG IgA has INcreased since I started the gluten free diet. Meanwhile, anti-deaminated gliadin DEcreased significantly. What does this mean?

Perhaps you are still using dairy products? tTG can react to things other than gluten, such as dairy. DGP is pretty specific to celiac.

For breakfast I usually eat bread (with wheat starch) and gouda cheese. I drink perhaps a glass of milk containing probiotics every other day. Kan I keep the wheat starch? Have to stop drinking milk / skip the cheese?

Drop the wheat. None should be in your diet if you are gluten free. :blink:

Definitely. Seeing as how you're not even supposed to be eating anything that has a bread crumb or dusting of flour, I can't believe you're eating wheat starch, even if that's supposed to mean no protein (gluten) in what you're eating. That's just asking to not get better.

You may or may not want to cut out dairy too. If you don't, keep it in mind for future if you aren't getting better.

yeah, skip the wheat starch. It may have been "certified" gluten free, but at what level? If you are very sensitive, it may well be too much, kinda like the shared line issues.

I´m cutting out wheat starch entirely now, eating tortilla de patatas, omelettes, pancakes and rice for breakfast. Time to get better:)

Still, the bakery claims the bread is without gluten even though it contains wheat starch. They say it is according to new standards where food has to be entirely gluten free to be called gluten free. How is this possible? Can I trust it?

With Codex wheat starch they claim that the processing entirely removes the gluten. Many are dubious of this scientific claim :blink: Many of the super sensitive celiacs claim that they react to it. You will have to test for yourself and see if eliminating it helps you.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
