Hi all, Quick background... I tested postive IgA back in April. My doctor and I agreed that I definitely had issues with wheat (was on Atkins exclusively for 6 months... cheated with pizza and beer, ended up in the bathroom for DAYS) so we declined the endoscope, and I went gluten free. Decided to have my triplets checked. 2/3 came up with abnormal IgG...

Hello gang, 2/3 of my sons tested positive on a celiac panel. We are scheduled to see a pediatric GI on August 9th and August 13th for appointments, and on the 17th, we expect to do an endoscope on the boys. I asked their pediatrician to send me the test results, and would like help in interpreting them: (first number is actual test, second number...

What is the 529 plan at school? The only 529 I know about is a college savings plan? Will this help my kids in school? Sorry to sound so LAME! Karen

Hi there, I tested positive for Celiac at the end of April. I had my children tested (IGA) and 2/3 of the triplets also tested positive. Their pediatrician suggested they go see a Gastro. doctor, and have an endoscopy. Is it really necessary to have the scope, if the blood test shows a + result? My concern is having an invasive procedure, and have the...

I thought I would update everyone.... I had my children (triplets... in case you didn't see my username tested, and their doctor called me on this past Thursday afternoon. 2 of my children tested positive to the IGA test. Their test specified anything over a 10 is positive. One of my boys tested at 38, one tested at 29, and the other was a 6. So, two...

Nice. Gotta love it when a doctor doesn't know what he's talking about. I was dx. with Celiac about 2 months ago. My doctor told me to tell my family members to get tested, and that I should have my children tested. So far, I'm the only one who's been diligent, and had my triplets tested. 2/3 of them tested positive after having a celiac panel done. Karen...

I went to my Internist today, and he was able to pull up my results (I stay within the same hospital network, and all my info. is centralized) and we talked for a little while, and he feels that we can take that 6.4 as a positive result, and that's that. He mentioned that Atkins, while light on gluten, is really only about 75-80% gluten free, and that I need...

Dietary results... well, I certainly feel like a completely different person when I'm on Atkins. First and foremost, it's my energy levels and sleep quality. I generally eat the same thing each day: 3 scrambled eggs with a sprinkle of grated cheddar, 1 cup of coffee with liquid splenda and calorie countdown milk, for lunch I'll have homemade plain yogurt...

I had to go to my OB/GYN for my regular annual appointment, and she asked me how I had recently lost 70 pounds. I told her that I've been doing Atkins, but that I've noticed something strange... that when I have a "reward" meal every two weeks of pizza and beer, that I've been having weird things happen: Sudden onset of fatigue within 15 minutes of eating...
