This is an older article, but still valid "In summary, the tTG ELISA is measuring the same thing that the endomysial IFA is measuring but with a method that is more sensitive and specific and not subject to interpretation. IgA class Reticulin antibodies are found only in Celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis.":

Struggling with Food-related Depression
Scott Adams replied to kristid4d's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Bob's Red Mill makes some good mixes, as does Authentic Foods. Also, we have an extensive recipe section here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ -
Wondering. Could I be celiac?
Scott Adams replied to Killygirl's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Let us know when you find out more info! -
So to clarify, I would have him go gluten-free even if his test results say that he doesn't have celiac disease. As mentioned, from everything you've shared here, he likely has gluten sensitivity.

Welcome to the forum! I too have never seen an "intermediate" category for TTG results. Based on everything you've shared, I would say that at the very least he's got non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) for which there is no current diagnostic tests. It's pretty clear that he's having an autoimmune reaction to gluten, and according to his results a...

Struggling with Food-related Depression
Scott Adams replied to kristid4d's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Kristi and welcome to the forum! I have a few thoughts that may be helpful. One is that I take GliadinX enzymes (disclosure, they are a sponsor of this site) before I eat out, just in case there is cross-contamination. I still do the things that @trents mentioned, like talking to the wait staff or sometimes the chef, but after I started with this... -
Top Brands of Gluten-Free Refried Beans
Scott Adams posted an article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Celiac.com 05/11/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about Mexican food products, especially refried beans. We recently established... -

Very interesting, and that publication was from 2014, so my take on this is that until now, major brands have avoided using this ingredient, as I've not seen it yet in USA products, although it's been used for decades in European products.

1. Yes, you have two positive blood tests for celiac disease, and you don't want to end up with villi damage, which likely would happen if you continued eating gluten daily for years. Your autoimmune system is clearly triggered by gluten, which your tests show. Normally only 3-4 samples are taken during an endoscopy, and I've heard that if all your villi...

Just so you know, there have been studies done and even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu, you still run a pretty high risk of getting small amounts of contamination. When I eat out I take a couple of AN-PEP enzymes beforehand (GliadinX makes one which is a sponsor here--there are many studies that show this enzyme will break down small amounts of gluten...

I'm still trying to figure this out. The FDA Rule says: "The records need to provide adequate assurance that the food or ingredients used in the food are “gluten-free” before fermentation or hydrolysis." So I'm not sure exactly how wheat starch fits into this.

Welcome to the forum! Actually to get properly screened for celiac disease you would want to do both a blood test, then a biopsy, and you would need to eat gluten daily for at least 12 weeks before the blood test, and then at least 2 weeks prior to an endoscopy: But it sounds to me like you have your answer--you at least are gluten sensitive based on...

Can COVID-19 Pandemic Increase Diabetes and Celiac Disease?
Scott Adams posted an article in Latest Research
Celiac.com 05/10/2021 - A top physician in Turkey recently warned that rates of autoimmune diseases like Type 1 diabetes and celiac will likely rise in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Autoimmune diseases, including thyroid... -
Dr. Kenneth Fine does offer stool testing for celiac disease, however this method of diagnosis may not be generally accepted by the greater medical community. In this case it might be a good alternative, and perhaps include a genetic test if possible: https://www.enterolab.com/

Gluten-free foods can also be high in starches and sugars, so try to find healthier versions of gluten-free products.

Welcome to the forum! It looks like you initially had 2 positive blood tests for celiac disease, as you show: DGP IgG (21.1 CU) REF RANGE <20 CU Also, many gluten-free products use gums like xanthan gum, which can cause issues with some people:

So I stand corrected, as some people commented on this article: and mention that the product uses gluten-removed wheat starch. They have been using this in Europe for decades, and it is gluten-free and below 20ppm: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius...

DiGiorno Debuts Gluten-Free Frozen Pizza
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
There were comments posted shortly after we published this article that it contains gluten-removed wheat starch, which we could not verify at the time because the pizzas were not on the shelf, and we could not reach Nestle. We finally got our answer and the product does indeed contain wheat starch, and we've revised the article. Obviously the product is still... -
Where can I buy gluten free wheat starch?
Scott Adams replied to JohnJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We used to import this bread and sell it on The Gluten-Free Mall ages ago, but I doubt you can get it now without paying international shipping: https://www.odlums.ie/our-products/?category=42 -
Feel free to share your blood test results along with the markers for a positive result if you’d like.
