    Thank you Ranchers Wife. Since I'm asymptomatic, I would not know if I had gluten. I cannot imagine having to worry about getting sick from cross-contamination.
  2. Golden
    Yes, I agree with you about friends..no issues with my true friends. These people are more acquaintances.

    A great idea!

    I agree it depends on the people. I do not know these people very well and will be a little uncomfortable and awkward. She makes a ton of food.

    These are all good ideas. If it were a larger crowd it wouldn't be as noticeable. I most likely will just bring a meal bar and then hopefully she will have some fruit. Have you all experienced that the Hostess will feel bad that you can't eat what has been prepared?

    This is my first Holiday season eating gluten-free. I managed Thanksgiving well since I hosted at my house. My husband and I are invited to a Christmas brunch. It will be small and only 6 people and the host will cook all the food. We have eaten at their home before prior to me eating gluten-free. There will be lots of breads, and such. I do not know...

    Great? Have you scheduled an endoscopy yet?
  8. Golden
    Hi Mesa, I know you were asking cyclinglady, but the endoscopy is not a difficult or painful procedure.
  9. Golden
    cyclinglady, Yes I do have my pathology report from the endoscopy. I believe he did 4 biopsies. I did talk to him about this. He said it's always possible that he could have missed the damage. I did not go gluten free until AFTER my endoscopy results. My GI said he would call what I have Celiac based on what is happening with my blood work. I don...

    I went to my GI yesterday to discuss the latest blood-work results which had improved. He would like me to repeat the blood-work again in 6 months and also come it to see him. He has not had any cases like mine where there aren't any GI symptoms (even though I feel Osteoporosis is a symptom), positive blood-work and only Marsh I with a biopsy. He said...

    Thank you Mesa. It was not done in any of my blood work. I'll take a look at the other forum. Thanks for your help!

    Mesa, I have heard of the bone marker tests. What Dr. can order it? No one ever mentioned to me about it.
  13. Golden
    Hi Mesa, Yes, many similarities. At my GI doctor's office, they have not had a case like mine. I suppose because most people go when they are experiencing GI issues. I have not been on HRT. I haven't done enough research to feel comfortable with it. I have not heard of Keith McCormick so I will check it out too. Dr. Lani's book has a lot of information...

    I don’t know the reliability of testing through 23 and me but my Dr. will only order the Celiac Genetic test year through Prometheus Lab. https://www.prometheuslabs.com/Products/Default.aspx?section=GIDiagnostics I was positive for both the DQ2 and DQ8 genes. My insurance didn’t cover it, but Prometheus works with you on the cost.

    cyclinglady, It sounds like you are doing things right if your bones have stabilized. I hope to find the same on my next density test!
  16. Golden
    Cyclinglady, That is good news that your last bone scan showed no worsening! How long have you been gluten free? Do you think eating gluten-free has stabilized your Osteoporosis? Hopefully you will stay fracture free! Amazing that your hubby had been gluten-free for many years prior to your diagnosis! Dr. Lani also has a FB group. Do a FB search...

    Yes, I was on a full gluten diet before the endoscopy. I do have a copy of the pathology report and I believe there were 3 or 4 biopsies in all. Duodenum (Second and Third Part), "Stomach, Antrum" and "Gastric, Body". Could damage still be missed? It seems I'm on the right track but with no GI symptoms, it makes it difficult to know. As far as the...

    Hello, I am 57 and was diagnosed with Osteoporosis November 2018. In April 2019, my endocrinologist did a variety of blood work to determine if there was a cause to the Osteoporosis. The blood-work for Celiac came back high and she suggested that I go to a Gastroenterologist. I then had an endoscopy with biopsy in May 2019. The results of the endoscopy...

    My situation is very similar to yours with the diagnosis of Osteoporosis and then my endocrinologist did a variety of blood tests and found that my blood work for Celiac was high. I do not have any GI symptoms and would have never suspected Celiac. I did have an endoscopy with biopsy which ended up not definitive for Celiac - Marsh 1. I also did the genetic...
