    Hmm, you're asking quite a bit there, lady Better call on your good fairies for help, I'd say. Course, you could always say that valium improves your blood pressure (probably does!)

    What does weak positive mean? Well, you really should get a copy of your test report so you can see for yourself, but here is a cheat sheet. Each lab sets their own reference ranges for the celiac tests, depending on a number of things including the equipment they use. They usually give three ranges (I will just give an example of a possible set of ranges...

    Any of a group of closely related colloids derived from Irish moss and several other red algae, widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, or suspending agent in industrial, pharmaceutical, and food products. I first came across it as a kid. When we had colds my mom used to give us Bonnington's Irish Moss which - naturally, now I see - had...

    Welcome to the boards, Icis. It's a shame about the not eating gluten / want to be tested. And sorry you are feeling bad back on gluten. Many doctors will tell you that two weeks is sufficient for a challenge. There are some here who would support that timeframe, but most believe a longer period is required for an accurate result. If you shop...

    It is unfortunate that you cannot tell from your symptoms how much damage gluten is doing to your body. There are people who have no noticeable symptoms, yet whose intestinal lining has been totally destroyed. Others have the worst symptoms, and test negative for celiac Any amount of gluten that keeps the body producing gluten antibodies is going...

    I also found this to be of interest: Normally, B12 must be broken apart from food by acid and enzymes in the stomach. B12 must then be tied together with a protein called intrinsic factor, which is produced by cells that line your stomach. Intrinsic factor carries B12 across your intestinal wall into your blood, to be delivered to your cells. This journey...

    You are so right, frieze. Just looked up a cobalt food chart here: Open Original Shared Link on natural sources of cobalt. Seems hard to separate B12 from cobalt. Can you tell us what put you into anaphylactic shock, lasga? Was it a food source of B12 or a supplement?

    Of course it's normal to be thoroughly pissed off about this whole thing. It sucks big time!!! And yes, grief is the right word. You grieve for what you have lost and will never have again, the total freedom to eat whatever you want wherever you want. It ain't gonna happen no more, and that's the bitter pill we have to swallow. Do grieve for that. So...

    It would appear that this was allergy testing rather than celiac testing. I am not aware of the significance of this result, sorry.

    I believe that before November gluten free was flying under your radar It has actually been all over the news media for the last couple of years, with loads of celebrities and sports stars jumping on the band wagon and proclaiming their 'gluten free' status to which they adhere with varying degrees of tenacity. I have heard that Novak Djokovich, the...

    The kitchen utensils usually recommended to be replaced are all those with scratches, or with porous surfaces, or which are otherwise impossible to clean, like wooden and plastic spoons and cutting boards, scratched teflon pans, toasters, colanders, plastic storage containers which have scratches, etc. Seasoned cast iron pans can be put through a self-cleaning...

    Can you tell us the name of the specific test? The whole celiac panel tests are geared toward testing for gluten sensitivity, and they are either IgA or IgG tests. It could have been an AGA test, a tTG test, or a DGP test. Any which way, however, if negative was considered to be less than 2, and your result was 24.5, that would seem to indicate a fairly...

    Ah, Peter, don't be so grumpy Translation: The public and doctors should be more aware of celiac; instead of checking the simple things they check for the extreme things and then say nothing is wrong with you. And the food manufacturers most of all need to understand the issues of cross-contamination. (With apologies to ann if I got it wrong )
