    IgG is an antibody involved in an immune response. Your doctor really should have tested your IgA, as this is the most specific for celiac. However, a positive IgG to gluten can be indicative of celiac. To me, you sound classic celiac. (severe anemia, seriously underweight, lactose intolerance, digestive problems...) I REALLY think you should pursue this...

    I had mine done through Prometheus, and the turn around time is pretty quick. I think a day or two and the results are faxed back to the doctor. My doc sent me a letter with the results, and I think it was exactly a week from the day I had the blood drawn. I think the letter went out a week later, and I got a day or two thereafter, so a week and a half...

    That's such a bummer. You should write to their company. They are really great at responding. I've had nothing but good luck with Chipotle, but as always, it's the people behind the counter, and they way they run their store. At mine, different people handle different stages of the process. So with that and the only gluten containing item being the...

    He can't see your intestines, so to me it's negligent to assume you don't have celiac. You need to find out what tests he ran on you, because there are specific celiac tests, and if you came back elevated on some of these, that is indicative of celiac. Post your results here if they don't make sense to you, most of us are pretty good at interpreting them...

    Have you ever just given it to him? It has a slighly different texture, but most people can't tell the different once the sauce and everything is on it. I've fed it to many people and they had no clue.

    My silver lining is that I know the trigger to what makes me sick. For most other AI diseases, the cause is unknown. And since we know the cause, our treatment doesn't require drugs! HOORAY! It sucks having this, but honestly, I eat waaaaayyy better than I used to, so I'm a lot healthier in many ways. I've cut back on eating out, way back, which is...

    First of all, he didn't create the recipe. Read the article again. This is a busy time of year for folks, and that is probably why there was a delay in a response. The forum has been slower over the past few days than usual. And to answer your question, yes, the batter for bread is definitely NOT what we were used to when working with wheat flour....

    Two words: chocolate chips YUM! I love pumpkin bars!

    First off, I agree with others. Find a new doctor. This guy sounds like he doesn't know what's up. IMO, IBS is a catch all term. If you have undiagnosed celiac, you probably do have IBS. Your bowels are irritated... but WHAT is causing them to be irritated? Under normal circumstances, a person's bowels should not be chronically irritated. You definitely...

    Have you sought out the advice of either a naturopath or an osteopath? It's still the luck of the draw, but often these doctors opt for more drugless ways to treat, and are more open to different ideas than conventional doctors. It may not seem so far fetched that you have chemical sensitivities to an ND or OD. These doctors are more aimed at finding the...

    What kind of blood tests did he do that showed a food intolerance? And what is "coeliakie disease"? Did he actually call it that? As Ali said, there's a lot of stuff that is a waste. I'd be interested to hear what all he told you to take, too. I'm wondering if you're taking too much of something in all those pills and powders that is causing you to...

    I'm allergic to egg whites. So, as you can imagine, breakfast is hard for me. I'm also either allergic to dairy or intolerant to casein. Not sure which, although I'm starting to think it's celiac related intolerance. So most of my cooking is done with either soy or rice milk, ghee (which is clarified butter-lactose and casein free), and most baking...

    I have used the pumpkin before in the past and it's not bothered me at all. I have a can left, so hopefully, all will go well. I would think as another poster said, it's not overly processed, so it's probably ok.

    I also had daily headaches. Not much worked for me though. I always considered myself to be a "headachey" person, but somewhere around a solid year to year and a half of having daily headaches, I realized that something could seriously be wrong. I did some experimenting, and actually found out about my celiac by accident. Either way, I get headaches now when...

    You can pretty much use it for anything. When my son was a baby, I pureed his vegetables and fruit with it. We used to grind coffee with it, till we got our super coffee maker. Smoothies, guacamole, nuts, flax, hummus... My husband uses it all the time when he concocts his marinades.

    I agree with everyone else. Plain rice is biologically gluten free. I don't know how long you've been gluten-free, but grains are pretty tricky to digest with a compromised digestive tract. Could be that you need to allow your body to heal before you try a lot of rice. I've been gluten-free for a little over a year now, and I can eat rice, but I can't...

    https://www.celiac.com/articles/21628/1/Cel...tics/Page1.html What were your results?
  18. lizard00
    I can only echo what ravenwoodglass said. Accuracy in the testing for celiac is less than ideal. While elevated IgG anit-TTG can be associated with other AI diseases, most often it correlates with celiac. But, it sounds like your doctor knows this, and his suggestion to go gluten-free indicates that, even without the IgA and biopsy, it's very likely...

    Check out their website. Their restaurants say msg free. It's still on their menu, but nothing appears to have it. Open Original Shared Link

    Jason's Deli is MSG free and most recently, all of their food items are free of high fructose corn syrup. They are working on the soda fountain dilemma... HOWEVER... check their website for their allergen menu, as they have gluten in some things you wouldn't necessarily think. (Well, I didn't anyway)

    Margaritas are usually fine, if you're ordering one out, find out about the mix. Tequila is fine, although as a preference I stay away from Jose Cuervo and go for 1800 or some other that's 100% Agave. Here's a great recipe: 1 part tequila 1 part grand marnier (or triple sec if you don't want to splurge on gm) 1 part lime juice (regular, not the sweetened...

    I came across this article today about genetics. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/understanding-the-genetics-of-gluten-sensitivity-by-dr-scot-lewey-r1032/ Basically, the doctor who wrote it says that with the amount of research done and his observations as of yet, the only DQ NOT associated with gluten sensitivity is DQ4. So even though...

    I use the Pacific Foods brands. It's harder to find a bouillon gluten-free base than a gluten-free liquid base, from what I've found.

    We had thread about this a while back. My eye twitched for almost the whole month of Dec last year. The suggestion on here was sublingual b12 and a b supplement. My eye stopped twitching within a day or two of starting both.

    The guy talking about it said that it pairs really well with citrus and has kind of a sweet flavor. Where did you get it from?
