    I bring my own everywhere....have never had wait staff bat an eye...in fact have had some look relieved. I do order a drink where prior to my BYO days I always just drank water in restaurants, but I think it is important to order something and it gives me the opportunity to say I have multiple food allergies so it is not safe for me to order food. Sometimes...

    This sounds more than fine....sounds delicious So I have been craving a dreamlike substance really bad so I just made something similar to Addie's Brazillian Cheese Balls....sans cheese with lots of garlic...they weren't half bad....a bit more chewy than when I made the cheese balls in the past...yet a real treat for me....prob shouldn't have posted...

    It is certainly low enough to question the validity of the tTG-IgA. Given his symptoms I think it wise to at least have the DGPs run along with seeking a GI well versed in Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity to perform the endoscopic biopsies if you choose to move forward with endoscopy.

    Thanks for adding the ranges. The tTG-IgG is positive which does indicate Celiac Disease. I now strongly suggest having the additional: Total Serum IgA...If your son does not have sufficient IgA it would explain why the tTG-IgA was negative. you edited that he had this test which indeed indicated deficient amount of IgA to make any of the IgA...

    You've answered your own question. I'm not dismissing you...I've had this conversation with many friends and associates. It took me a long time to find the wording I'm comfortable with and it goes something like this: Please don't feel (bad, sad, uncomfortable, fill other emotions) that I can't order the food here. I am happy to be here (with you,...

    I also am curious what kind of doctor performed the allergy tests. If your child is allergic to gluten and barley then all gluten needs to be removed regardless of celiac testing. Do you have the ranges for the tests you posted? Not all children test positive on all of the celiac antibody tests. If he hasn't had them, you could add: Total...

    You are new to this...before long you will get a firm hold on how to keep you and your children safe. My grands became gluten-free at 18 months and the second has always been gluten-free...it really is not an issue for them (now 4 and 6 years old) as it is simply their "normal". They have been their own advocate for a very long time -- I actually think...

    no worries...i thought maybe i was reading it wrong...it happens Note to SugarSpike: Just because this one antibody test is negative it does not rule out Celiac Disease or Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity...more info is needed.
  19. GottaSki
    Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing

    Did I read the range on the tTG wrong? Looks like negative is zero to ten and the result posted was less than one.
  21. GottaSki
    If there are active DH lesions, the antibodies can stay in the skin for quite some time. For blood/antibody testing -- it depends. Generally you will see numbers decrease substantially by 3 or 6 months and be very low by the one year check. There is no reason to re-test blood/antibodies at 3 weeks. The earliest is 3 months -- many doctors wait until...

    With regard to Celiac Disease your high Total Serum IgA has no significance...it is run to assure your levels are sufficient to make the IgA based celiac antibody tests valid. I don't know of any reasons for high IgA...perhaps others do. Because you have sufficient IgA the tTG-IgA performed should be accurate and is very low .873 is less than 1 -...

    Yes, you can still have Celiac Disease with a negative biopsy...damage is often spotty and the biopsies are only taken from the beginning of a very long small intestine. Please request a written or electronic copy of your procedural and pathology reports so you can see exactly what was taken. The tests you need: Total Serum IgA tTG - IgA tTG -...
