Gemini

Hi Amanda,
   Doctors just love to be vague, don’t they?  Scalloping may happen with other GI issues but I have never heard of any others except Celiac......and that doesn’t mean much because I am not a GI doctor.  However, I bet I...

Scalloped mucosa is Celiac Disease, along with your high numbers from blood work.  Having a positive tTg and Endomysial means there is a 98% chance of it being Celiac. 
Scalloping happens when there is enough damage to the sm...

I have gotten sick from a small amount of crumbs that made it into my mouth, obviously, because it's the only way that a Celiac reaction can occur. It happened almost exactly the way you described your experience. No matter what way you...

Hi Caryn,
I just wanted to give you another opinion on diagnosis without biopsy.  It can be possible but a few things to point out.....
I failed all the tests in the panel by very high numbers and presented with classic C...

Celiac's, even very sensitive ones, are not affected by what a chicken eats.  Even if the chicken is fed a grain diet, it does not translate to contaminated eggs.  If that were the case then none of us would be able to eat chicken, e...

When it comes to food related health issues, families can be the worst.  You are not alone and many of us have had clashes with family over Celiac and all that goes with eating safely.

Hey Squirmy,
      I don't have much time to write in detail but take a look at this:  https://www.amymyersmd.com/2017/05/low-dose-naltrexone/
It is an off label treatment of an FDA approved drug, but many people have ...

I mentioned this treatment on another thread a couple of weeks ago and the response?  Crickets!  ?
I think there are many people who shy away from anything that the mainstream AMA crowd doesn't endorse because it's hard to know i...

Arlene....I am so happy that your family finally woke up and decided to have a better life.  Once you push through the fear of the gluten-free diet, it just gets better.  I wish my brother had listened to me.  He just couldn't wrap hi...

Hey Squirmy!
Looking forward to communicating with everyone again.  I do see that nothing ever changes.......people STILL having trouble being taken seriously by the AMA.  Well.....except for Olivia!  
There are more pe...

Hey Arlene!  I'm still kicking but it's been an intense year.  We moved Mom into Assisted Living last summer and she resisted it all the way.  Made our lives hell....until she lived there for about 4 months and decided it wasn't as ba...

Nice to see another poster who doesn't live with extreme food fear.  If people want to believe that everything is contaminated, I have no problem with that. To each his own. I am a sensitive Celiac who has to be very careful but also ...

I never said I was the sole source of experience with gluten and I will forgive your snarkiness because I understand you are not well. I will also forgive your comment about being a careless Celiac because you do not know me, you do not...

AristotlesCat.  I have not been freely drinking just any coffee and stick to a couple of brands, for taste preference.  But when I travel and they ask me if I want a cup of coffee after the meal, I do not grill them on where they get t...

....and if this were actually a real problem in life, Celiac organizations would be warning us to find gluten free, certified coffee.  This is overkill and it really misinforms and scares people.  The vast majority of Celiac's do not h...

You will never find certified gluten-free coffee because coffee is naturally gluten free.  In 12 years of being gluten-free and many, many cups of coffee later, I have never been cc'd by coffee either.  It is highly doubtful that coffee w...
