Hi I've been on a gluten free diet for 2 months now. I've had both a positive and negative blood test, and an inconclusive endoscopy over the course of 1.5 years, and decided upon myself to go gluten-free to see if it made a difference. So far, I've only been sick once, during my 1st week doing gluten-free after I ate McDonalds fries : I got incredibly...

Hello, My journey started in May 2008 when my GI doctor gave me a transglutamine blood test as an afterthought to rule out gluten issues (he thought I have plain and simple IBS). He was shocked, as my blood test came out VERY positive. He said it was an unusually high number. He scheduled an endoscopy and told me to eat normal and get used to the idea...

HI, I had a positive transglutamine blood test back in May, and I finally had my endoscopy 9 days ago.

Hi, I'm new to the board, but in the same position. I had a transglutamine blood test done in May, which came out positive.

Of course I don't get the actual results for another week, but it sounded like...

Hi, I just got the results back from a lactose intolerance and gluten test (both blood tests). Definately lactose intolerant (knew that without a test!) and a big surprise - my Dr. told me I had sprue in my bloodwork, meaning my transglutamine blood test came out quite high (in his own words, not sure much about the medical terms). I always thought I...
