Too bad the author didn't include rye and barley when defining that gluten is. Actually, it seems like she thinks gluten is interchangeable with wheat. Sometimes they don't do the research..

Still nice to be in the press...I suppose

Grrrrrrrr. That's just making me mad! We need them to say "gluten"!

I think I need to go for a run.

Send a letter to the editor (or whatever it is for a website) so that they can correct this info.

At least the article was about allergies and the 8-must-list allergins and not about celiac disease. The author did miss use the word gluten. <_<

". . .But thanks to the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), any food produced after January 2006 containing one of the eight most frequent food allergens (in the linked PDF chart) will now use the common name for the allergen in the ingredient list. In other words, a product containing gluten, known to most of us as wheat, will now say "wheat" on its label. . ."

Why should they (CNN) get any more right about this than everything else they report!

I just sent an email.

I invited them to visit our forum to get their facts straight and see what some of our real issues are. Like the fact mainstream drugs, and beauty supplies have gluten they don't tell us about. And how we are demanding change. How soy is in everything we can NOT avoid. And how the word gluten doesn't mean just wheat.

Please write to them and fill their mail box. They need to hear from all of us.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
