    Bedbugs!!! Hahahaha That was my introduction by fire to the United States (or one of them) on the cross-country journey from New Joisey to California. Salt Lake City, 1:00 a.m., looking for a motel. Somehow missed motel row. Ended up at a fleabag (or so we thought). Ended up being chewed out of bed by 3:00 a.m by bedbugs. And those bedbugs hadn...

    So far as I know the two terms have been used interchangeably up till now, but there seems to be a growing preference for sensitivity rather than intolerance.

    Like Takala, I mash avocado as a sandwich spread. I avoid corn-, soybean-, sunflower-, peanut- and canola oils. I use olive, coconut, avocado, grapeseed oils and butter. No quinoa, millet or amaranth - buckwheat and sorghum instead. I also use coconut, almond, teff in addition to tapioca and arrowroot and rice flours. I can tolerate some corn starch...

    For me, it would be like trying to forget I didn't have any clothes on, on a nudist beach

    I'm afraid when it comes to hotels, I'm more worried about how hard the beds are and how unyielding the pillows and how many of them, than I am about the detergents and the cleaners. I am happy if I can just lie in the bed

    Diabetes is a common companion of celiac, unfortunately. The good news is that with a strict gluten free diet it can often be controlled very well, once you can get his sugar under control. The whole foods diet that works well for celiacs seems to work pretty well for diabetics too. Your doctors should be able to help you with this. But there are lots...

    That is very scary and frightening for you. I am so sorry he is going through this. I will certainly keep my fingers crossed for gluten ataxia, that's for sure. I think if I were he I would quit the gluten right now, to heck with any testing. It will be or it won't be when it comes to testing, but his health is what is important right now. I agree with...

    No Marc, sorry, I missed your post yesterday. It is possible that that week had absolutely no effect on your EGD and biopsy results. It is equally possible that you are NCGS (non-celiac gluten sensitive). Or that your GI did not biopsy the right spots. With celiac unfortunately there is a world of possibilities. But celiac gluten intolerance and non...

    Good luck with your appointment

    Perhaps you are still using dairy products? tTG can react to things other than gluten, such as dairy. DGP is pretty specific to celiac.

    I don't know that it is a matter of being celiac or not. It is just that your gut is not happy with gluten, and you are trying to make it happy by changing your diet. In so doing you don't want to introduce it to other things that might upset it. There are many substitutes in gluten free processed food that you may not have eaten before, and to present...

    This is the full celiac panel: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA It is hard to know what is meant by CELIAC Ab panel. If it is only the tests with "antibody" in its name, it may not include the DGP (a newer...

    Are you still eating gluten? I know you stopped at one point prior to a blood testing for a couple of weeks but was that your only gluten free trial? About all I can suggest at this point is to do the diet, if you are not doing it already. Your list of symptoms sounds like a celiac/gluten intolerant shopping list for sure. My personal feeling is it...

    I'm sorry, I don't know how I missed that since it was the first thing you said Yes, the neurological symptoms seem to cause the most problems, both in diagnosis and length of time it takes to recover, as well as just being generally suckey!! I am glad you put the "true" in quotes because there is still so much unknown about celiac. I have always...

    You do not state how long you had been gluten free (if, in fact you were) when you had your EGD. If you had been solidly gluten free at that time then the test was invalid and you need the blood tests and, if positive, another EGD. These are the tests: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase...
