    Since you have children, it would be 'nice' to know if it is, in fact, celiac (the doctors have not gotten away from biopsy being the 'gold standard' of diagnosis and they like to confirm the blood test results). Then you would know you could have the children tested, periodically, to make sure they have not developed it, and have a reasonable chance of...

    I've got one I've been trying to get rid of for some time now - some darned thing or other keeps preventing it

    No, no,no -- he's been a hottie for me all my life, practically. Those eyes..... And as a teenager, James Dean.... (in all his inarticulateness).

    This is why we always warn people to do their best to get a diagnosis, if they are going to be involved with the school system, the military, or any other situation where an official diagnosis is essential.

    A light bulb just clicked on. My mother (who I'm sure was celiac) always had "Eno's fruit saltsl" in the house which she used to take all the time. I used to sneak some in a soft drink (we only ever had non-fizzy) and make fizzy drink out of it. It all makes sense now.

    Since your doctors seem unable to make any connection, put it all together for them. Tell them you want to be tested for celiac disease. Make sure they run a complete panel because all the tests are important and you may test positive on only one of them: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase...

    If you do a quick google of "college, celiac, ADA" you will get a good start on this topic. It has been discussed often on here.

    Why doesn't life automatically come iwth these handy instructions???

    It certainly doesn't sound like they were looking for celiac in your endoscopy. Was that your understanding of what this was all about? Since you were glutening, I presume so and you said she was looking for it. Really unusual not to mention it. You need to clarify with the doctor if they in fact looked for celiac. There was obviously inflammation there...

    You will get a better result if you do the advanced search, which involves clicking on the blue flower beside the search box which takes you into advanced search. You can then better define your parameters and it will take you back to your search results later by hitting the back button. However, depending on your browser, you may have to click on 'try...

    My plan B for a BLT is a BLA which is not blah at all, and it has no mayo with soy in it. Instead of slicing the avocado you mash it on to each of your toast slices, top each slice with bacon, put the lettuce in the middle and mash it together. Not only do you avoid the tomato and the mayo, but the avocado does not fall out in little pieces along the edges...

    You are so right in your approach. If you treat it like a death sentence, it will feel like it. If you treat it as just one more challenge in life to be overcome, it WILL be overcome. Attitude is everything. All you others coming along, listen to Adelaide. She knows whereof she speaks. It is all right to cry, rant and rave, so long as that is not all...

    Have you tried the Coconut Secret product, Coconut Aminos (from Whole Foods)?? It is a pretty good soy sauce substitute. That's what I find hardest, the things you season/sauce with like soy, tomatoes, lemon juice. There absolutely is NO substitute for tomatoes except the one RiceGuy makes called NoMato, but I can't do beets either. And vinegar is not...

    Well, that's why so many people don't want to know they have it Because they know they would be one of those people who would have to cheat and them be berated by people like us, so they choose to believe they do not have it and then they can eat what they want without opprobrium. My sister is one of these. She knows better than complain to me about...

    Welcome to the board, wembles. Diagnosis cam be a very frustrating process, and I am sorry you are having difficulties finding out why your son is not growing. It is very hard to diagnose celiac disease in toddlers Your son sounds a lot like my baby brother; and he was never even tested. As it is, they did not do a full celiac panel on your son,...

    Yes, those are definite positive results for celiac. We always tell people that cramming gluten in the last couple of days won't affect the results, so, no, that didn't have any bearing on your positive tests. Your tests show that you make a normal amount of antibodies (Immunoglobulin A) so the tests are valid. Your Endomysial Antibodies and Deamidated...

    Hi Rusty and welcome to the board. It is not uncommon to test negative on the celiac bloodwork; there is known to be an error rate in the testing. Did you have the complete panel of tests? Can you tell us what tests were done and what your scores and the ranges were? The most important not to leave out are the total IgA, and also the DGP. If...

    Since non-celiac gluten intolerance has only recently been recognized as actually existing, there is very little research on it yet; but there are studies under way. Logic (in my pea brain) would say that celiac disease is just another form of gluten intolerance
