Hi, I ordered some gluten-free pita bread from a company (GFL Foods) and when it arrived I was amazed at the flavor and the texture. I have been sadly missing pita bread (bread that I had been eating all my life) since my diagnosis 08, now I am happy, next I need to find a yummy tortilla take care , Birdie glutenfreepitas dot com

Thanks so much, your replies have given me some sound advice ( for a change) hahaha, Birdie

Hi, I finally made it home and have my labwork and biopsy results. My 2nd GI dr says i dont have celiac but the paperwork doesnt quite backup what he said to me. On my labwork it says : Celiac Disease Comp Panel, Adult (tTg) Ab, IgA =10(high) (reference range Positive = >8) Endomysial Ab IgA = Negative Endomysial Ab TITER = test not performed...

I will be home in 2 weeks and I will see my family dr ( he is a PA but good about testing if i ask) what tests should I ask him to run on me to test for leaky gut/candida? thanks Birdie

Wow, I was reading about leaky gut, I do have multiple cystine stones in both kidneys and am on meds for that to keep them from growing, since thats all they can do. The good thing is they dont hurt me I am amazed that neither GI dr has run a test on me for this. I think I need a different dr. Last year when they took out my gall bladder, I seemed to be...

Wow , thanks so much again and no your post wasnt too long, all info is good and helpful. My hubby did find quinoa for me when we were home and it was yummy several different ways. unfortunately i did leave some gluten-free foods at home , thinking i didnt need them based on my drs visit. I also will eat right out a bag hahaha. I am used to fixing a sandwich...

Wow, yall are awesome and the info that has been posted is super, I am reading it a 3rd time to make sure i understand and dont miss anything. my total cholesterol has been around 195 for a long time and the other numbers are ok except my triglycerides are very high 275- 350, my blood sugar has been ok at 85. I hadnt thought about sugar being bad but it...

I am not sure about caseins, I dont know much about that yet. But I know I seem to be lactose intolerant,( this started about 1 year before my gall bladder attacked me) milk , ice cream and any kind of whipped topping, is a bad thing. I am sensitive to chocolate also. I wonder if I should give up cheese for now? It doesnt seem to bother me when I have it...

I should have brought my lab results in the truck with me, ( all I recall seeing was one test that had a normal range of 5-8 and mine was a 10, and it showed positive under the summary)I wont be home for 3 more weeks, and yes i was eating glutens at the time. I will ask my dr when I see him at that same time how many samples did he take. I will continue the...

Thanks for the info and the encouragement, I am using rice and veggies (raw is easiest to get) and fruit and some yummy gluten-free bars that arent too sweet ( my tummy doesnt like super sweet stuff), the hardest thing is not being able to fix a quick sandwich and hop in the drivers seat and take off. I am experimenting with plain rice cakes and corn tortillas...

Hi, I have been reading your forum for the past 6 weeks while waiting for tests and results. I tested positive for celiac with my bloodwork, but the upper gi didnt show any inflammation on the biopsy, dr says that means negative, so he says I dont have celiac. I did some looking online and came across " Latent Celiac" which is positive bloodwork and negative...
