    Maybe try to limit tomato. People I know of people who are alkalizing who drink V8 for the potassium, and take magnesium supplements along with it.

    Only the IgG score is positive - it would be easier to see if they printed it as Range 0.0 to 0.9, and her score was 3.26. The IgA range is the same, 0.0 to 0.9, and her score was 0.21 and therefore negative. Testing is normally done with the IgA antibodies; her GI tested that she was a normal IgA producer (GAMMAGLOBULIN (IGA) IgA 58 22-157 mg/dL...

    It is true that the tests the original doctor ran, the Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA and Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG are older tests which have largely been replaced by the DGP. I wonder why she did not run the DGP since she seems to know that there is a newer test which is more accurate for children? (I know, rhetorical question, but valid or perhaps she is referring...

    Hi mizunosport, and welcome. The second two results from your GI's tests were negative. The first two were positive. But your child has still not had the full celiac panel, which consists of the following: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA (and IgG) Deamidated Gliadin...

    Hello, and welcome to the boards. I was not doctor diagnosed; I had to figure it out for myself. I came to this conclusion after being diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Since I knew of another person with a rheumatoid autoimmune disease who ate gluten free (ankylosing spondylitis), I decided to try gluten free myself, not dreaming that it would...

    Some supplements are also available in liquid form which should be easier to digest. Another aid in getting the nutrients into your body is digestive enzymes. Part of the lack of absorption is that the food is not broken up enough into small chain fatty acids to pass through into the blood stream because of the negative influence gluten has on the pancreas...

    I believe that if you are selective in how you use chiropractors, they fill a useful niche. I would never consult one for celiac disease, but it was only a chiropractor who was able to diagnose my sacroilac problem and do something about it. Orthopedic doctors had been useless. And I don't let them 'bone crunch' me; I will only let them use an activator...

    If your husband did not have problems digesting gluten he would not react to it upon its reintroduction to his diet. It is the same with all foods; no intolerance, no problem with consuming / not consuming and then resuming. If we are intolerant, our bodies do their best to adjust to and handle the gluten load, but when given a reprieve they are relieved...

    The first part you obviously know, that you must adhere to the diet. The little cheats and laxness here and there do add up and you are sabotaging yourself. Next I would go to my gp and ask to have all my nutrient levels checked. I don't know if you did this when you first went gluten free, but as celiacs we tend to be malabsorptive and can have major...

    I really don't know. They put so much junk in them that it wouldn't surprise me in the least if gluten were included, but I think not. Well, I guess if you are going to give stuff up, you might as well make a clean sweep rather than prolonging the agony. It does seem a bit of a shock to the old bod though. Must have wondered what hit it!! Like...

    Gum surgery (I don't think they do it so much any more??) is done for pyorrhea of the gums - they cut away the diseased tissue and new tissue grows back. They usually do one side at a time for obvious reasons. Yes, my gums were really receding also. You are a martyr for punishment, going gluten and smoke free at the same time

    Yes, I can imagine Say ten people, one prepared dish = 10 different versions of said dish Chef will go nutz

    Yes, a pathologist is required to do a report, noting the number of samples received, a description of their physical appearance, and a report on what he sees under the microscope.

    Hi, and welcome to the board. When I read your post, I immediately thought, oh, that sounds like pica!! A quick google and I found the following: Pica is the practice of eating any substance compulsively; the item may be a food or something not considered food, such as soil or clay. Many theories have been suggested to explain why pica develops. Pica...

    To continue on from Takala's advice, if and when you get to see the GI, I can promise you he is not going to read what you wrote You had best prepare what you want him to see in bullet form, so that he can scan his eyes over it and pick out the salient points. Remember that his goal is to spend as little time with you as possible, so omit all unnecessary...

    A genetic test can't really rule celiac out since there are other genes associated with celiac than the two commonly accepted genes; and it certainly cannot rule it in, so will do nothing to resolve the issue. I think your husband is probably right' You can mess around with doctors forever but if you are improving gluten free enough for him to notice it...

    Welcome to the board, nekome. Your question is an innocent enough question, but it opens a Pandora's Box of answers. To be honest, there is absolutely no agreement on how long is long enough to be eating gluten once you go gluten free. While most people do start reacting to gluten immediately upon its reintroduction, it takes a while, which varies...

    Don't worry, LJ; if it weren't for Darn210 I would still look like you. I'll have to ask her if she'll do another for me. Or maybe IrishHeart will do it for you
