Mike, I only just spotted your response today. I am unsure as to why there is not more mention of liver problems in association with celiac disease... but I did a google myself and came up with these links: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link This is just an antecdotal story and she mentions having elevated liver enzymes as a red...

Within each set of genes there are many subtypes. The number *0201 is the exact gene your son has. Then withthin the grouping of *02xx genes there are subtypes. Same with any of the genes, so the *0602 is the DQ1, subtype 6. The genes pan out as follows: DQB1 *0201 = DQ2, subtype 2 DQB1 *0602 = DQ1, subtype 6 (OR it can also be referred to as DQ...

We just tried Open Original Shared Link We got it at our Whole Foods store. The batter was thick and heavy and I was sceptical, but after baking it, it was great! Very tasty... I made little bundt loaves and drizzled them with a homemade lemon/sugar glaze. Yumm!

The elevated IgG indicates that his immune system has identified gliadin as an invader and boy is it fighting it! 80 is a pretty high count! He is definitely gluten intolerant and should stop eating gluten. The low IgA could mean IgA deficeincy or it just means he's not developing celiac disease right now. celiac disease is NOT the only auto immune...

More and more research is being done and we are finding out that a gluten intolerance is the basis for SEVERAL auto-immune diseases, of which celiac disease is only one. It is true that if you are gluten intolerant and continue to consume gluten you may or may not get celiac disease, but you will definitely get something. Just look in your family history...

Karen, I just said a prayer for you and your doctors. God Bless!

IS it the celiac disease that induces the liver problems or the gluten intolerance? The only reason they know about the multiple auto-immune disorders that are associated with celiac disease is because celiac disease is being studied by scientists. No one has started studying gluten intolerance in and of itself. Actually, people with elevated IgG are dismissed...

Well, what you should understand is that the elevated IgG alone means that your child is gluten intolerant and should stop eating gluten immediately. The IgA would be more specific to Celiac's disease in which the villi were damaged... children are naturally IgA deficient from birth to about 4 years old... and some people are IgA deficeint their whole...

Unfortunately, it is very true... and it means that there are A LOT of people out there with a gluten intolerance that aren't being helped. Elevated IgA is more specific to damage in the intestines... but an elevated IgG is nothing to ignore. The IgG antibodies are the one's that roam freely throughout the body and they are the one's, I believe, are causing...

Some doctors are more open minded than others... Some are very anal. Depending on your doctor you'll get a different answer. The textbook answer is no flattened villi, no Celiacs disease. Some would even report no Celiacs disease with just blunting of the villi. The criteria for diagnosing Celiacs disease will be changing in the future. I am not sure...

If you've gone gluten-free then there is nothing for a GI to do for you. They will want to test you and the tests without a gluten challenge will mean nothing. I'd stay gluten-free! If you feel better being gluten-free then by all means be gluten-free!

If you still have an elevated IgG after being gluten-free for 2 months, I'd say you have a definite gluten intolerance. If you react poorly to gluten ingestion and you feel good on a gluten-free diet, then I don't think you need to look any further. Get on a gluten-free diet and live healthily ever after!

We just had a family birthday get together today. We have 24 people when we get together... Anyways, we did a taco bar... Had the shells, meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, spanish rice and beans. People made their own tacos and we also had salad and corn chips for those who wanted a taco salad instead... Everything...

Here are some articles regarding urticaria (hives) and celiac disease: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I have also encountered several people who have had this experiece as well... antecdotal evidence.

Rose, Do you have copies of the blood work results... the exact numbers? The doctor may say he doesn't have Celiacs disease based on negative tTg and IgA. If he had elevated IgG only, it would be considered a false positive. I would recommend you look into getting the books Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link I have found them very...
