    I've been on gluten-free diet 4+ months and symptom free. Can I assume that the prescription meds I take are gluten-free?
  2. TerryinCO
    Thank you for direction. Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
  3. TerryinCO
    Thank you for the information. I did order/receive GliadinX to have on hand in the event of suspected exposure.

    The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because... And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy. Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23. It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet. I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk...

    I beleive so. Waiting for response from NP.

    They've not made that call at this point. They say it looks more like Celiac's than common variable immune deficiency. They say to get a positive diagnosis another endoscopy is needed after I've been on gluten-free diet awhile. So, waiting for more input from Docs'.

    Here's the test result I was refering to. I may not be understanding this correctly.

    I haven't been on the site for a while and I have some update info. Genetic tests show I have the Celiac markers and high risk for Celiacs's (10X it shows). Immoglobulin A and G are low - just below the 'green' range; immoglobulin M is in the 'green'. Zinc, Iron, magnesium, ferritin, and b12 are all in the 'green' range. I've been off the PPI...

    Still waiting. The Barrett's I've had for 5-6 years. The possible/probable Celiac is new this year. Not sure why that's popped up, but there it is.

    Thank you both for the information. Very much appreciated. I did have a Dexa scan (bone density check) this year and was normal there. Knitty Kitty, could I drop the B12 and just do B complex? And would the B complex supply adequate Niacin and Thiamine? I can go a day or two w/o pantaprozole, so I could/should ration that out as I can. Daily...

    Thanks, Knitty Kitty. No, I'm just taking B12...also a vitamin D3. For gerd - Pantoprozole. Trents, thanks for the links. There's a lot to digest there (pun intended), I'll have to read those a few times to grasp.

    This is going to be a long post... Thank you for your time/expertise reviewing this. TTG (Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase) IgA Quantitative Normal range: below <4.0 U/mL Value <4.0 A negative result indicates that celiac disease is unlikely. If suspicion for celiac disease is strong then supplemental testing may be warranted. Concentration...

    Thanks for the replies, Trents and Knitty Kitty. The endoscopy was a check on the Barret's esphagus status (every2-3 years). So she wasn't really looking for Celiac conditions. I was not on gluten free diet for the blood tests so no masking of results. The blood tests ordered afterward were (and results); TTG (Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase) IgA Quantitative...

    ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me. Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known. Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well. I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm...
