    Scott Adams's post in Help determining normal levels of TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IMMUNOGLOBULIN A was marked as the answer   
    I also eat out, but have adopted using AN-PEP enzymes like those in GliadinX (a sponsor here) just in case there may be some gluten contamination. If you eat our regularly, this is the likely cause for your elevated tTg levels.

    Scott Adams's post in Husband just diagnosed with Celiac, need help with vitamins and supplements that will really help was marked as the answer   
    I'm a strong believer that most people with celiac disease definitely need to be taking a good multi-vitamin/mineral formula, and some of my long-time symptoms like numbness and tingling in my toes only went away in the last few years...

    Scott Adams's post in Does my 4yr old need an endoscopy or can we just go gluten free was marked as the answer   
    I would also be very cautious about having an endoscopy done on a 4 year old, especially if you have a family history of reactions to anesthesia.

    Scott Adams's post in Cooking ware, what to use, what to replace. was marked as the answer   
    There are differing viewpoints on this topic, but most celiacs agree that wooden items and cutting boards should probably be replaced. It's doubtful that metal, glass, iron, plastic, etc., could not be cleaned sufficiently to eliminate...

    Scott Adams's post in Test results help was marked as the answer   
    I think your doctor is right, and that is a great article. It's old, but I'm still in contact with Dr. Ken Fine and he is still running his celiac stool and blood test lab (Enterolab), and has a very different view on this than mainstream...

    Scott Adams's post in Afraid to do gluten challenge… was marked as the answer   
    Unfortunately it's the only way that is currently used by doctors. I've heard of research on other ways, but nothing that is available at this point. 
    Since it's very clear that your issues are caused by gluten, why is a formal ...

    Scott Adams's post in New Diagnosis But Still Struggling with Symptoms was marked as the answer   
    Welcome to the forum, and I must say that your vivid description sounds just like what I went through when I was in my mid-20's, which led to my diagnosis. I also had several trips to the emergency room, and thought it was heart issues...

    Scott Adams's post in OVERWHELMED, TRYING TO COPE was marked as the answer   
    It is very strange that anyone, let alone a doctor, would tell you that you could not get celiac disease because you are South African. Anyone with the genetic markers could get celiac disease, and at least 1% of Europeans have it.

    If you are getting such immediate relief, then I fully understand your decision not to get tested. A positive celiac disease diagnosis might also subject you to higher private life and health insurance premiums. This article may help...

    Scott Adams's post in Diagnosis issues was marked as the answer   
    If you had a positive blood test and bad symptoms that went away on a gluten-free diet this should be confirmation enough. It’s your call if you need an official piece of paper that says celiac disease on it (which could make private h...

    The ingredients listed are all gluten-free, however, this does not mean that they could not be cross-contaminated. Spices, including curry powder, as well as other ingredients, can be cross-contaminated. It's usually best to look for...

    Scott Adams's post in Colonoscopy prep was marked as the answer

    Scott Adams's post in Celiac Serology after Gluten Challenge was marked as the answer   
    Having stopped for a couple of days may not affect the result greatly, but the recommendation is that you should be eating gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. I think if you just started eating it again for the few days before...
