    At one point I had to laugh, Takala. We were at a six-point intersection (on the plains here roads shoot off at all angles) and there was so much advice being shouted from the back of the bus that Tom just sat there, right out in the flipping middle of the intersection, and said "When you have all made up your minds, let me know." Fortunately these were...

    Can you try something that has a chance to stick to the sides, like mashed potato? applesauce? rice? Things that digest easily that do not require a lot of effort by the digestive system.

    Have you considered (I know, horrible possibility) that you might be reacting to some other food(s) as well??? Stranger things have happened. Actually, it happened to me. I had three things develop in my first months gluten free -- a non-itchy red rash (really just a sheet of color, just red skin); a somewhat itchy slightly raised rash, and actual hives...

    With a positive endomysial antibody titer, there really isn't much doubt about it. All your results are either weak or strong positive, except for the Reticulin Ab which is an outdated test and not recommended any more in testing for celiac. Yes, I think it is time you started learning about the gluten free diet Welcome to the club, and to the board...

    Interesting. I just looked up immunoelectrophoresis. Open Original Shared Link Normal results Reference ranges vary from laboratory to laboratory and depend upon the method used. For adults, normal values are usually found within the following ranges (1 mg = approximately 0.000035 oz. and 1 dL = approximately 0.33 oz.): IgM: 60-290 mg/dL ...

    Gluten can mess with your hormones. You had no problems while you were still on gluten, but now your body is having some problems adjusting without gluten. Give it a few months to get settled back down again. You are just doing things in reverse

    Can you tell us what the pathologist said about your biopsy specimens? That would be interesting.

    The way things stand at the moment, you can only find out if you are celiac if you are tested while you are eating gluten (in fact, after at least 6 weeks of eating gluten). To answer your other question, if you are gluten sensitive or intolerant but not celiac, you still need to be just as careful to avoid gluten, so from my perspective, it doesn't make...

    I would say your doctor did not know very much about celiac disease or how to interpret results This much I do know: Your results: You do not make normal quantities of IgA antibodies because your score was below the normal range for your age. Therefore any IgA testing is not going to be valid for you. Hence, your IgA antigliadin showed up as being...

    I would eat quite a bit the first day to make up for the days you haven't been eating it, but then just the equivalent of a slice or two of bread, or a few crackers or whatever. No need to kill yourself You just have to give the antibody factory enough raw material to work with And yes, I'm sorry, it probably will make you feel like crap - or even...

    I was variously diagnosed with fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica (that's what they said my dad had), non-RF rheumatoid arthritis, and finally psoriatic arthritis when the psoriasis showed up. I did always have very high sed rate and CRP readings, but some of that could have been from the gut, too. The pain varied from the cramping stiffness to the dull...

    The trouble as I see it is that nobody is going to be expecting artificial sweetener in a product that has never had it and should not have it, so who is going to see that label on the back?

    If you have been gluten free for only one week, it is not too late to get back on gluten right away. That way you will not have to do a full challenge. If you wait until the 12th, you will probably have to eat it for an additional six weeks, which will not seem very short term to you after having experienced the benefits of being gluten free (we always...

    Potato breaks down into simple sugars the most quickly when it is mashed. Can you try eating half a jacket potato (done in the microwave) every now and again. It is much higher on the glycemic scale. Same for sweet potato or yam, there's a lot of fiber and carbs there. Root vegetables like rutabaga, parsnip and turnip, jicama, all these things have a...

    You missed the point, Shadow. They are applying for permission not to have to place it on the label, even for chocolate milk and the like, so that they can add it to whatever they please, including plain yogurts, etc.
