    For those interested, we just did an article on the AIP diet:

    I've listened to a few of Fasano's, but not the others. Thank you for the suggestions!

    I would not let a gastroenterologist prescribe me an antidepressant after going to him with legitimate complaints about your recovery. I'm not sure how they made the leap to you being depressed because you are complaining about gut symptoms...of course those symptoms could make you depressed, but taking meds for depression would most likely not help with...

    On some level you need to ignore them, at least AFTER you share any info about the 44% chance of direct relatives also having celiac disease. I think it's fair to inform them, and if they are interested they will ask questions, and if not their eyes will likely glaze over and they will change the conversation as fast as possible. We've done some articles...

    Yes, cross contamination at Starbucks could be an issue, so be careful. Red Bull is considered gluten-free, and below is an article we did on this, but keep in mind that there is a lot of caffeine and stimulants energy drinks, not to mention sugar, which can cause IPB symptoms in some people. Coke is gluten-free.

    Any chance you can post the exact name of the IgA test, with the levels? This article covers many of the tests and what they mean:

    I think you would be better off using AN-PEP enzymes like GliadinX, an sponsor here, which has been shown to break down gluten in the stomach, to deal with possible contamination concerns. Fish oil is still good for you so you might want to keep taking it, just not for that purpose.

    Personally I think your results indicate that you're more likely to have celiac disease, than not. It is a positive test, and this "weak positive" category seems to be something newer, as most TTG test results are just positive or negative for it. Were you eating gluten daily, at least a slice of bread, right up until your test? If not, the test results...

    I think you hit the nail on the head as I've also found the same thing among my extended family. Some also have celiac disease but won't go gluten-free, and others who I've recommended to get tested because they have obvious symptoms won't get tested. To me it's strange to not want to know if you might be prone to a serious heath issue, but some people prefer...

    I definitely gained much needed weight 2-3 months after I began eating gluten-free. Up to that point I was 6'1" and weighed ~160 lbs. At the 6 month point I believe I was around 180 lbs.

    Does the almond flour say "gluten-free" on it? I ask because it's certainly possible that it could be contaminated, possibly where it was milled. Also, we just did an article on the AIP diet, so please let us know how it works for you, and I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues:

    Although you may test negative for celiac disease, the test would not rule out gluten sensitivity...there is currently no test for GS.

    At this point your doctor may want to do an endoscopy so be sure to keep eating bluten daily until all testing is finished.

    More information about "Is Coors Light Gluten-Free?"
    Celiac.com 06/05/2021 - 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 beers. Specifically, is Coors Light gluten-free and safe for people...

    Yes I agree, it sounds to me like you’ve already figured out that you are at least gluten sensitive with possible celiac disease. There is no test yet for gluten sensitivity, so even if you did do a gluten challenge and get re-tested, it may not give you a definitive answer.
  19. Scott Adams
    Yes you should definitely get tested. Studies have shown that up to 44% of direct relatives of people with celiac disease also have it. Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until you were tested otherwise the results could be false negative.

    Welcome to the forum @CeliMomi. I see 3 red flags with these results: 1) The very high positive for her Deamidated gluten antibody (DMG) test, which is very specific for celiac disease; 2) The high white blood cell count can indicate an autoimmune reaction is taking place; 3) Her low iron and very low iron saturation are a very common symptom...

    If you are positive for both, as I am, you likely got one from each parent, and some experts think going gluten-free would be a wise choice (Roger Deutsch, the owner of the company that does ALCAT food sensitivity testing believes that everyone with both DQ2 and DQ8 markers should be gluten-free.) At the very least you should get a blood panel done for...

    At the time of my diagnosis I was also diagnosed with h pylori, and I’ve heard this happening to others as well. After I went gluten-free this cleared up as well. It’s too bad they didn’t do a biopsy, as you can have a ulcer AND celiac disease. Feel free to share your blood tests if you can, but no matter what it could be time to try a gluten-free diet ...
