ARCHIVED Diagnosed Celiac Disease 3 Years Ago, Still Not Getting Better
GottaSki replied to Sniffy911's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree with Gemini - look into Thrush. Your problem could be yeast based or bacterial overgrowth or both. There are breath tests to determine bacterial overgrowth - but they are far from accurate. If it is yeast based you'll need DiFlucan and if it is SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) you may need antibiotics. With either probiotics are important... -

ARCHIVED 2 1/2 Years Later Still Not Absorbing?
GottaSki replied to KrazyKick's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi KrazyKick- I know the last thing you want to do is remove more foods. I had improvement with digestive symptoms my first year gluten-free, but other symptoms worsened until I removed all high lectin foods at once. When we remove gluten we often replace with others that can be equally harsh on a leaky gut. Given your problems with some other proteins... -
I get severe mood changes with all legumes - peanuts are the worst as far as anger, anxiety, sadness. Peas and beans are like sleeping pills and soy is major abdominal bloating along with melancholy. Haven't noted tachycardia per se, put I do know that certain foods do cause palpitations and anxiety.

tiptoeing in here...I know I'm newer to the silly thread...but gotta say it just looks wrong to not have Triticus Toxicumb's Elephant Avatar as the original poster of the thread. Also think His Royal Highness Tom should remain on the thrown for the first hundred pages of Tickle 2.0 and that a link to the orignial thread should be place in the title of...

ARCHIVED Low Iga And Other Blood Work, Opinions Wanted
GottaSki replied to luv2bmykidsmom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I can tell you there have been other members that have posted that are unable to get an official diagnosis for Celiac Disease because of low Total IgA with negative blood tests. It's one of those never ending loops if you don't have the right doctor - low total IgA can't test positive on the IgA antibody tests and some doctors will not diagnose without the... -

ARCHIVED Will My Children Be Celiac?
GottaSki replied to Skittles's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
We found it helpful in my family as my kids were all testing negative - all with different symptoms -- my gene testing was an important piece of the puzzle for them. Honestly, it was my celiac doc suggested it when we were frustrated with the diagnosis process of my children. I never would have been tested without his suggestion. Again - it is not conclusive... -

ARCHIVED Will My Children Be Celiac?
GottaSki replied to Skittles's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Your doctor can order blood tests for Celiac genes. I've also seen folks on this board that have had it done through private companies. There are drawbacks to gene testing most U.S. doctors test for DQ2 and DQ8 only there are other genes associated with Celiac Disease and NCGI it is possible to have positive antibodies and/or positive biopsy without... -

GottaSki replied to SMDBill's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Please include a new food synthesizer when you send the requisition for your tricorder to Star Fleet Command - ours is currently malfunctioning - all of it's products have trace amounts of gluten -- it is my understanding that the new model, called a Replicator, has been programmed to never allow replication of these harmful proteins -

This is excellent news - finding a good doctor is cause for celebration! That you'll be through the testing portion of this "fun" process in a few short weeks is good news as well - waiting is tough...I've completed my Master's of Waiting Degree and am now working on my Doctorate of Waiting Degree Learning is one positive that we all have control... -

I agree - you are not alone being either/or. My kids test negative. One has an "official" dx, one calls himself celiac and one calls himself intolerant. All three live better lives gluten-free. -
ARCHIVED Tested Today!
GottaSki replied to SMDBill's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Good Morning Bill- A couple thoughts: I tthink I am remembering correctly that you had removed gluten for several weeks prior too both blood and biopsy. It is possible this was enough time to bring all blood levels within normal range. Your doctor noted inflammation in the small intestine during the endo - have you seen the path report yet? Stage... -
ARCHIVED Does This Sound Like Celiac?
GottaSki replied to tchntm43's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I strive to always say "symptoms associated with Celiac Disease" and "testing should be done to before removing gluten". To the best of my knowledge I have never said a person has Celiac Disease until they report back with an official diagnosis. For those of us that did go misdiagnosed, undiagnosed or dismissed by a multitude of doctors - until you have... -

All native Californians in this house - turkey enchiladas and turkey tacos are post Thanksgiving day musts. Once in awhile a turkey pot pie slips into the mix in between Mexican fare - oh and turkey sandwiches with cranberry Turkey and waffles will likely be called up to the permanent Turkey Day roster after this year!
