    If and when that full-blown attack comes, you don't want to be without it

    Intraepithelial lymphyocytes are often arn early finding in celiac disease but are not in and of themselves diagnostic. See: Open Original Shared Link In borderline cases, the gluten-dependency of symptoms or mucosal inflammation should be shown by gluten-free diet or gluten challenge. No single test is efficient enough to distinguish unspecific increase...

    Now that sounds like a cookbook I would be interested in. I don't do Mexican, Indian or spicy either, nor Asian of any kind. AND I love sorghum Can you share?

    You might be wise to limit restaurant eating for a while until you get more experienced with the diet and which places are safe to eat at

    The problem with doing that is that often after stopping gluten, if it is your problem, you suffer much worse symptoms when you resume eating it. Yes,it is a common thing to do but one a lot of people regret because they really want the diagnosis and cannot bear to eat gluten again for long enough to make the testing valid. I would get tested first, and...

    It is perfectly okay to mention a product you have enjoyed, so long as you are not associated with the company that makes it and do not have a pecuniary interest in the product.

    Welcome to the board, Darren. You could be on to something in casting the blame on gluten. Fatigue, circles under the eyes, headaches/migraines, have all been experienced by those intolerant to gluten. Also jaw problems, canker sores in the mouth, problems with oral thrush. The way to find out is to ask your primary care physician to run a celiac panel...

    Yes, I have. I have passed out many times, sometimes on the toilet, sometimes hurling in it , sometimes if I have listened to my body and the ringing in my ears and dizziness and sweating, while just sitting down or not at all if I could get to lying down. I always came to, right away; it was just a momentary loss of consciousness. I was a slow learner...

    There are posters on this board who have returned for a six-month checkup with their doctor and still have positive blood tests for antibodies. While the numbers have usually markedly declined, they are sometimes accused of not following the diet corrrectly because the antibodies are still active. Doctors often bully them, tossing the refractory sprue diagnosis...

    It is pretty hard to do in layman's terms (not that I could do it myself anyway ) The following abstract is not too "abstract" or technical and might allow you to get the gist of it: Open Original Shared Link Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an (auto)immunologically mediated intestinal intolerance against proteins from wheat (gluten) and related...

    When you stop eating gluten it is not like turning off the faucet and presto! no more water Well, actually, it is a bit like water, because while there may be no more gluten, the past effects linger on. Just as with too much water there is flood damage, with too much gluten in a gluten intolerant there is an aftermath. The autoantibodies can take a...

    Oh, so you mean your doctor has not tested you for celiac disease?

    Seasonal allergies like hayfever are, well, allergies. Celiac disease is an autoimmune reaction in the body, causing it to mistakenly attack itself. You may not feel it at work in your body (silent celiac is not uncommon. The sufferer of silent celiac may feel they are fortunate not to have symptoms and may well feel free to cheat, but actually they are...

    Hello, and welcome! For starters, if you have been gluten free for only a week, start eating it again now and it will probably not be too late for accurate testing. Normally you can get by with one week off. Celiac disease is genetic in that you inherit the predisposition to develop it. However, it requires a trigger to activate it, usually physical...

    Hi there. I will pick up from the exhausted Lisa. The immunoglubulin is your total serum IgA. This is normal, as are the other celiac tests performed. But this is only to be expected if you had not been eating gluten prior to testing. It is surprising how many doctors do not know this Add in the L-glutamine and probiotics and you are well on your...

    Hubs cooked dinner last night. He made a mushroom gravy with shallots to smother the swedish meatballs and we were both at a loss as to the sweetness of the gravy. I accused him of using powdered sugar by mistake to thicken it but he claimed not. I had recently introduced him to the cannned condensed milk I keep in the pantry for run-out-of-milk emergencies...

    Hello Victoria, and welcome to the board. You can find information to give your doctor about the necessity for eating gluten for testing here: Open Original Shared Link When you read this you will note that you also need to be eating gluten for the biopsy to be positive. If you've had only a bite or two of gluten in the past year it is highly doubtful...

    Hello and welcome, Sarah. If you have already been gluten free for several weeks any testing would likely be negative without resuming eating gluten. This applies to both blood work and biopsy. So unless you are prepared to do this I think it would be fruitless to pursue testing. If it is really important to you to have a diagnosis, then you might...

    Hello, and welcome. I would accept their offer of celiac testing if I were you; ask them to do the DGP IgA and IgG as well as the tTG and total serum IgA. Off gluten for only one week should not be long enough to affect the outcome of the testing. I wonder what diagnosis(es) they would favor over celiac???
