If the gluten free diet helps you, I hope it works out like it did for me. I used to have 2-4 lung infections a year. Ex-doctor never thought twice about it. But I have them no more took me about a year to realize that the infections had gone missing!!! Frueden tag!!! Same with the sinus infections. My Pollen and mold allergies are much better, too...

I must apologize, I

Maybe? I'm probably not the best to say. Are you asking about the pain as a celiac/gluten symptom or as a non-related pain? This might not be what you are feeling, but I had elbow pain in the form of cubital tunnel syndrome, typified by tingling in the pinky. It was treated as if it was Carpal Tunnel. I took the arms off of my office chair. I was told...

I have certainly been one to wait by the mailbox for the test results. You are fortunate to have a doctor who is looking into this. You have good, normal questions, but I wonder if it is all right to wait for the present tests to play out and you have copies of the results in hand and your doctor

Sure, if you kept eating gluten. I have read about and talked with doctors who were explicitly told in school to not waste time considering or studying Celiac Disease. I think many of us go through that. I

I mean, if you do try a gluten and dairy free diet and get better, then I don't think it matters if, say, your tTG results were near the line. Sorry about rambling on and asking a lot of personal questions...ravenwoodglass says it all much better... Hal

Hi, I started learning about celiac disease 8 years ago reading many Celiac.com threads, but just made my first posts this week. I am sure there are many here who know more about the fat malabsorption. My understanding is that such an Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA result indicates your intestinal tissues are producing antibodies to a particular wheat protein...

I was attempting to be non-personal and not refer to the specific post. However, with your observation, I see that my statement does not say what I wanted it to say and may not represent the opinions of the member, and so I withdraw and delete the comment with apologies. I hope this action is appropriate.

“Meaningless” is a strong claim. The price seemed about the same as other tests that were twice as likely to be wrong. 18 months* is a long time to sweat out validation from the body when the symptoms are developmental and the person can’t accurately communicate internal states. (*The CNS changes so slowly it was once presumed not to change (heal) at a...

So, by extension, serum AGA is an even worse predictor of outcome? So, if you need a of paper to wave at a family member or doctor to get care, I would think you would be more likely to get it from Enterolab than from, e.g., Labcorp. My point is, your advice to "save your money and try the diet" applies even more to serum AGA labs. That was the advice...

Healthy or pre-sensitive? But I get it that expression can vary due to variable mucosal state. Primary screening for celiac and gluten sensitivity is IgA. IgA is concentrated in the mucosal tissues. Intestinal mucosal tissues are shed into the stool, but not shed into the blood generally. As I understand it, general circulating unbound IgA is exceptional...

(I know this is an old thread, but forgive me for not being able to hold my tounge, as is were) The gist I get from both sides of this argument is its all about Celiac Disease. I know that this is Celiac.com, not GFD.com, BUT its not all about Celiac Disease. My interest in Dr. Fine comes from his interest in broad autoimmune disease, not just celiac...
