    Well, we would have to keep remaking them because they would go off pretty quick

    Yep. No one told us when we were younger how tough we would have to be, or we would have trained harder (although I got some pretty good training along the way -- and one kind person who took me under her wing because she understood ) Funny how those people stand out in our lives -- that one person, and my 8th grade teacher probably saved my life. The...

    Nah, don't think I could do that until about 11:30 a.m. Hubs does burgers and beans and eggs and all kinds of stuff in the mornings -- I use a clothes pin until he's done so I don't barf And then I have yogurt, muesli, strawberries

    Okay, guys, I'm going to have to take computer lessons from Ginny, because all I can do is post a URL for y'all, but here is the ultimate bacon melange: http://shine.yahoo.com/shine-food/art-made-bacon-165400311.html

    Do you think it could be from the sausage?

    I just wish that these researchers would consider the effects on HUMANS of these substances, instead of the effects on plants and pests.

    The first thing you need is a copy of the pathologist's report so you can find out the lab that read them initially. Then ask you doctor for a recommendation of someone else to give you a second opinion. We would be interested if you cared to post the report here on the forum too because inflammation is also the earliest sign of celiac damage. Have...

    From: Open Original Shared Link TTG false positivity has been described in patients with both type I diabetes and autoimmune hepatitis. Theoretically, it can also be falsely positive in other autoimmune disease. It is also known to occur with dairy intolerance in the absence of celiac disease.

    Was there a pathology report from a pathologist, or did the doctor 'read' the slides himself? I would ask that the slides by read by another pathologist, if you have seen the pictures and they look blunted to you. Once this has been done it would be best to consult an endocrinologist about your thyroid problems armed with this information. It is quite...

    Those are the two tests that most doctors think are the only tests necessary; some will only order the IgA tTG. They order these on the premise that those are the tests which will pick up damage in the small intestine (the anti-tissue transglutaminase) and this is their definition of celiac disease, that there must be damage to the intestinal lining. The...

    It's O.K. Davina! Just so long as the something he got was horrible gluteny old FOOD! Sorry, couldn't resist - leftover New Year's spirit

    If you want to have a shave biopsy of a suspected DH area, you really need a dermatologist, and one who knows something about celiac and DH, because the biopsy is not taken of the lesion but of the clear skin immediately adjacent to a lesion. So many doctors do not take the biopsy sample correctly beause they don't know any better.

    Have you tried iodine elimination? A lot of DH'ers find it makes it a zillion times worse. And DH hangs around for a long time, unfortunately. - longer than GI antibodies, that's for sure.

    It's nothing personal. Once the board has been spammed, there is a program that automatically removes the name of a spammer and substitutes that sentence. However, there is a board rule against bumping posts; please do not do that again. As to your question, there is food testing available through an allergist, but first you might try just the total...

    Yes, ideally you should trial the diet for at least 3-6 months to evaluate its effect. What about celiac diagnosis does your doctor not understand? For years we have been told that biopsy trumps blood work, and now your doctor seems to be telling you that because his blood work was negative he is not celiac? There are known to be false negatives on blood...

    Hello, and welcome to the board. Before you take him gluten free, there are a couple of things to consider. He is only 9, and has a lot of years of schooling ahead of him. Most schools, before they will make special provisions for him will require a formal diagnosis from a doctor (in writing) that he must be gluten free. It is for children, especially...

    If I want to get someone's attention (waiter, e.g.) I tell them I'm celiac; after all, there's no indication that I am not. Otherwise I just say I am gluten intolerant, or decline the food and don't mention it.

    Oh now, wouldn't you like some shavings of parnesan on that?

    There is no gluten in oilive oil, and there shouldn't be in pesto. Mouthwash probably not, but as always, check the label.
