    I was diagnosed in 2007 with Celiac Disease at the age of 30. The following year, I had a Video Capsule Endoscopy at Columbia. The findings showed that much of my mucosa (at least visually) had healed. One finding, which I have been intrigued by ever since was the finding of: Lymphoid Hyperplasia of the Distal Ileum. Has anyone else out there ever had that...

    I went to Elevation Burger in Montclair, NJ for lunch and when I left, I was already thinking about going back tomorrow. The Manager, Meghan is fully gluten-free aware. As soon as I told her I had a gluten allergy, she informed me that their fries are 100% gluten-free. They are all cooked in dedicated friers in 100% Olive Oil. In fact, they have no other...

    Alright, I am going to do my best to explain what this is. It is a very mild dull pain that I get all the way to my left side (not really abdominal). If you follow your very bottom rib (which is actually cartilidge and not bone) all the way to the left side of your body, the pain is like a small piece of sandpaper was implated in there under the end of...

    Hey Jenny. Your panel doesn't look too bad. Your lipoprotein a (aka Lp(a)) is simply a type of LDL particle. It happens to be small and denser than the other common type of LDL, lipoprotein B. While Lp(a) has been shown to be linked to heart disease, your LDL is quite normal, so I wouldn't worry much at all....really. Just always try to exercise and eat...

    That is exactly what I had found in my research too. I gues I just wanted to get some other folks take on the whole lymphadenopathy thing and see how prevalent it is. It seems that it is very prevalent in celiac disease but regresses. I know that it is something that I need to stop worrying about because I have responded to the diet very well and am doing...

    I was diagnosed with celiac disease last December. So far my healing process has progressed well. My antibody number had returned to normal and I have gained about 17 lbs, which is hugely important to me as I am 31 yrs old, 6' 4" and was 168 lbs when diagnosed. I was wondering if anyone else (who had a CT scan as part of your diagnosis) had lymphadenopathy...

    Like everyone else has eluded to, It definately takes some time. When I was diagnosed, I figured evrything would be back to normal in 4-6 weeks and that I would gain weight like wildfire. It took me some time to accept the fact that slow and easy wins the race. It took about 6 mos for my antibodies to reach normal, which was just a few weeks ago. I still...

    I have been gluten-free for 8 mos.. My IgA antibodies reached normal in my most recent bloodwork. At diagnosis, I was >100.....March 7th it was 20, April 27th it was 12. Now I am at 5. My symptoms have decreased significantly overall. I have also gained about 16 lbs, which is great since when I was diagnosed in Dec, 2007 my weight was 168 lbs. and...
