ARCHIVED How Do You Emotionally Deal With Setbacks?
GottaSki replied to icelandgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
First and foremost....here you go one huge --- HUG ok, now...I don't think there is anything you are doing wrong...the key is it simply takes time. If you really are only eating just those items...try this: Chicken, sweet potato fries or mashed and steamed or oven roasted veggie (i like broccoli, asparagus or carrots - doesn't really matter... -
Now there is a emoticon I would love....a dragon carrying a ketchup bottle -- Brilliant! So the fun around here today is....the above ground pool which is my safe haven had a lovely sparkling salt water generated shine when I left on a three day trip with the hubs...the filter pump is on a timer, but somehow the salt water chlorine generator turned off...

ARCHIVED On The Way To A Diagnosis
GottaSki replied to Ace2011's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree! Get the endo at the same time as the colonoscopy -- there is no prep for an endo and you will already be on the table sedated. Not to mention it saves the frustrating wait between procedures should the colonoscopy come back clear. -
ARCHIVED Sit Down Dinner Wedding Reception Help!
GottaSki replied to GFDonna's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I do one of two things: Call the bride or groom and ask if you can have the email contact for their caterer. I've had brides try very hard to obtain me a safe meal and quite frankly it is a waste of their precious time. Bring my own and RSVP that I will be bringing my own so do not count me in the totals for the caterer. ok guilty...if it looks... -
ARCHIVED Birthday Cake Recipe
GottaSki replied to jnt241's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
It is....I usually just frost the tops of layers with it....you can frost the sides, but kind of a pain and not necessary because it is very rich. -
ARCHIVED Reintroducing Wheat
GottaSki replied to shirleytx's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Most of us have celiac disease or are intolerant of gluten. We would not know the best way to re-introduce wheat, because we cannot - ever. I can tell you the recommended amount of gluten for a gluten challenge is one slice of glutenous bread per day. -

ARCHIVED On The Way To A Diagnosis
GottaSki replied to Ace2011's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome Ace! Wow that is quick to get the referral to GI. There really isn't much that will happen until you have had a complete celiac antibody panel along with possible nutrient testing, but good to get evaluated. It is encouraging to read that your primary immediately thought celiac disease...hopefully this will become the norm for many more... -
ARCHIVED Best Resources For Educating Non-Celiac?
GottaSki replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Same place we all go...here and in particular the Newbie 101 thread. Same rules for all...doesn't matter if the person cooking has an issue with gluten. My husband understands all the rules as does my Son-in-law. -

For me, I am always happy to have more tests done rather than less. I've had everything you are listing and all were normal with minor issues related to my thyroid tests that have now corrected themselves. Get the tests and strive to be patient waiting for results....again I know easier said than done. As for the hubs...being a sounding board...

ARCHIVED Borderline Test Results
GottaSki replied to quietblueeyes's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome QBEs! Your tTG (assuming it is the IgA) is negative for celiac disease. That said, if you have symptoms that could be attributed to celiac disease - I strongly suggest you have the complete celiac panel and a few other blood tests. Perhaps you have had some of these, but this is what I suggest: Total Serum IgA tTG - IgA tTG - IgG (Tissue...
