She does call it an allergy and say it can be diagnosed with a blood test, which could be slightly misleading, but anyone who's heard about it for the first time can go and get the info they need.

I saw it this morning and took note of the use of the word "allergy", but happy to see it mentioned. I also went to the store today and noticed a freezer full of new gluten free products....what's happening in the world??? :rolleyes:

Well, I know "allergy" is not correct, but "auto-immune disease" doesn't make as tidy a sound bite. I mean, it's like eating out and getting the bill and it says "allergy alert." Technically not correct but better than nothing so long as they got my order right. Plus there are a LOT of people that I've met who give me the blank stare when I say auto-immune but know exactly what I mean about needing to avoid gluten when I say 'allergy'. It might be more appropriate to call it auto-immune when trying to educate the public. I guess it's all about sound bites and what we're willing to settle for in exchange for public awareness. And just think, if the FDA treated it like an allergy, we'd get full gluten disclosure on every package. Wouldn't that be sumthin?

Thank you for posting that ,I truly appreciate the link. I learned from it and you never know who you may help by posting.

I have the tingling in my arms and I possible have a B-12 deficiancy. I take b-12 vitamins but, I guess that is not enough. Maybe the sublingual?

      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.):
