  1. RA trigger? Thanks for the heads up. I'm new at this, and I will remember not to try quinoa. Hope you feel better soon.
  2. I got my test results three days ago. I'm 43.
  3. MoJ, Thanks for that link! I'll check it out!
  4. Hmmm, I think I will go search for her posts and get some more information on DQ1! Sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode, I'm trying to stuff so much information into it so quickly! At least I can say it's not from gluten now!
  5. maile, thanks for the great advice and kind words. Yes, I do think it was full-blown celiac. I'll tell you why below in my reply to..... Mother of Jibril, I read your signature, and my heart goes out to you for your loss. My daughter (age 25) was on the phone to her OB the next morning after I got my results. We are almost positive she also has...
  6. Thanks, maile. Full blown case of celiac? Could that be: constant D (10+ times a day), constant nausea, severe stomach pain when I ate gluten, hurting so bad I could barely get out of bed, bone and heel pain, migraines, teeth practically crumbling in my mouth? I had to quit my job last May because I just couldn't handle the pain and fatigue anymore. It was...
  7. Well, the day I've been waiting for is finally here. Here's the verdict: A) Gluten Sensitivity Stool and Gene Panel Complete *Best test/best value Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 26 Units (Normal Range <10 Units) Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA 17 Units (Normal Range <10 Units) Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score <300 Units...
  8. Sabre, sorry to hear about your results. If mine come back negative, I'm still going on the gluten-free diet. Like ravenwoodglass and ang1e0251 said, it can't hurt to try. Speaking of tests, I got my package from Enterolab Thursday. Opened the package, and inside only the materials for the stool test, no swabs for the gene test. *sigh* Called the number...
  9. Oh, SabresOnTheWarPath, a positive diagnosis so we can take appropriate measures, have some closure, and return to health, that is definitely what we need, isn't it? I'll keep you in my thoughts this week as you wait on your results. I ordered my tests from Enterolab today. I thought long and hard about it, let me tell you. But seeing as I have limited...
  10. So it turns out that the tests are cash up front, over $300, and it will be a while before I have the money. I'm a little disappointed as this is not what I was told at the doctor's office before I went to the lab. My doctor wanted to order a stool test, so that will probably happen next week. In the meantime I will continue to be sick and in pain, but at...
  11. hey! we are friends now! that's cool!

  12. Thanks for the warm welcomes! I'm leaving for the lab in a few minutes. (sigh) I guess I'll keep the microwave for now. Darn it, I thought I had it gone for good! haha LOL Meline! I haven't had a toaster in years. I just fix it in the oven. Toothpaste? Shampoo? Body wash? (Goes off looking for the non-food gluten-free items thread)....
  13. I just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. My name is Helen. I'm getting tested today, but I've decided even if the test is negative I'm still going gluten free. I'm going to start working on cleaning the kitchen this weekend, and I was wondering about appliances. I know I need to replace my mixer, due to the vents. But what about the microwave? I've had...
