They actually want this girl to withdraw from the elementary school because, they say, "she is violating our rights."

They are parents now, but it is very apparent that *their* parents never taught them concern or compassion for others - they are just being selfish.

wow that is just bizzarre! I can't say as it really causes any issues for us to make a peanut free lunch for our kids. Their schools have always been peanut free and I have never thought it was a hassel to do this. Most times they don't even have someone in their class with a peanut alergy but makes it safe for that one child who is deathly allergic somewhere in the school. I can't get over the mentality of some people! Makes me cringe thinking about it :(

Yeah. I try to remind people - it wasn't that 50 years ago no one had peanut allergies. It's that 50 years ago, these children would die.

I said pretty much the same thing to someone today.

"We always ate peanut butter and jam sandwiches...blah...blah..."

"yep and 90% of the time people died from unknown causes ALL the time"

Really!!!!!!! is that bad that the kids put their lunches outside a d have to wash their hands. Shouldn't they wash their hands anyway to keep flu and other things at bay. It's not like the poor child can help what they are allergic to.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
