Can you get a genetic test done instead? Just wondering if that would be a better option then eating gluten again. I am thinking about getting it done. Trying to find out if insurance would cover it. I heard it's just a cheek swab.

I had both an endoscopy and colonoscopy it was awful. I would just go on a gluten free diet vs. invasive testing. But that is just my opinon.

I am super confused now. My first test was a blood test done by Cyrex labs. Wheat IgG is out of range, 1.87 and range is .3-1.3 Transglutaminase IgA is out of range 9.83 and range is .6-1.5 I paid out of pocket for this test. I had a second test done covered by insurance; Endomysial Iga - negative run by mayo clinic. Transglutam...

I was tested by Cyrex labs that is supposed to tests different parts of the gluten. I tested positive for Transglutaminase IGA (range .6-1.5) my results 9.83. I am not sure exactly what this means. I tested negative for Gliadin. My doctor said this is subset of Celiac. What does that mean. I have had a biopsy but was gluten free so it came back negative...

I go to Elaina's pantry all of the time and have made several of her recipes - cupcakes, pancakes, brownies, and cookies. I did order the cookbook but I think I like the website better.

Over the past year I have browsed through and purchased a few gluten free cookbooks. I only use one or two recipes but was looking at the reviews on amazon and thought maybe these would be some good ones to buy. I have not tested positive for celiac but am gluten intolerant. I think my family overall has been healthier. I recently had a gluten challenge...

While you are waiting - this is just a suggestion go to Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe or a local vitamin store and get a good quality high potent probiotic and start taking it. My children's doctor - normal western medicine doctor always tells me to give my kids probiotics with there antibiotics.

My family loves the Authentic foods blueberry muffin mix. It's very expensive so I wanted to get the recipe. I heard Authentic foods is Bette Hagman? Does anyone know if this is true? I would really like the recipe if anyone either has it or knows which book it is in. Thanks!!

My doctor is a Naturopathic Doctor. She doesn't specialize in GI disorders but she treats disorders the natural way. She said that she didn't want to go the antibiotic route as she doesn't believe in killing everything. I am taking the probiotic in the morning and at night. I am not sure if this overgrowth was severe or not. It's my understanding that probotics...

I was also diagnosed with an overgrowth of bacteria. I was diagnosed through a urine test though. I was told that it could take months for this to clear up. I was given caprylic acid capsules also and then mega doses of probiotics (125 billion) I have to take the caprylic capsules for 30 days 3 times a day. I also take the heavy doses of probiotics for 7...

I would like a good banana bread and blueberry muffin recipe. I have tried several with blah results. I tried a good Blueberry muffin mix from authentic foods that was great but very expensive $7.50 here. I went to there website to see if I could get the basic recipe but no such like. I am not sure what I was thinking since they make a mix. I tried...

Well the lunch turned out good - at least so far. The Chinese place was closed so the next closest was Applebees. I read that most people have not had good luck with Applebees here. I tried to call the corporate office to see if I could eat anything there or at least get the ingredients of there menu items. It was closed for presidents day. I called...

I was wondering if anyone here has tried Digestive Enzymes? I read somewhere and can't remember now that they might be helpful in digestion especially for people with multiple food sensativities. I don't mean go out and have a bunch of gluten but what I mean is that if you accidentially had some gluten hidden in something. Would it make the reaction...

I am just wondering what the difference (if any) between being gluten intolerant and Celiac? My antibodies were negative (blood work) two biopsy's (2004 and 2009) were negative. My Natropathic doctor put me on a gluten free diet in December 2008 - I have had normal stools but other symtoms are there (fatigue, muscle cramps, anxiety, terrible stomach...

I was mistaken. Where I read that said some people who are allergic or intolerant to wheat can sometimes tolerate Spelt. I think I was just excited to try something that would be like wheat. Yep I guess it won't be a go. Thanks for the reply's Crystal
