ARCHIVED Need To Figure Out What In My Makeup I'm Allergic To
GottaSki replied to seraphim's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have environmental allergies, Celiac Disease and am severely intolerant of many foods and other environmental factors - to the point of anaphylaxis. The house is 99% gluten-free....my hubby carefully uses gluten-filled flour tortillas and hot dog buns occasionally -- oh and there are two sauces that have gluten in my frig -- those of us with celiac... -

Don't know how others make them...but I do it kinda like meatloaf -- ground beef, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, oregano, egg and bread crumbs...then roll into 1" balls and fry OR tonight I'm doing humongous meat balls...3" balls that I bake most of the way thru then finish them off in the fry pan just before serving. -

Oink...oink...I'm there too -- but did get my beloved 'silver shadow' back on the road this morning -- been riding hubs hybrid for awhile now as my shoulders and wrists were not happy with my race bike -- and....wait for it...my problematic left shoulder is happy -- well not happy, but not in pain which with my fuzzy math today is the same thing No resting... -

I may be the healthiest version of myself in over a decade -- but I AM OLD!!!! Three and Five year old hit the road this morning and we all took a collective sigh of relief!!!! Dinner tonight will be EZ -- perhaps spaghetti with meatballs and a salad. -

We got gypped outta the Super Moon -- we have a thick marine layer at night that clears about 10am each morning -- commonly referred to as "June Gloom" -- so I set my alarm for 430am hoping the view would improve whilst I slept -- no luck...just one bright marine layer Not sure what is for dinner....something easy -- maybe spaghetti and meatballs. Oh... -

Welcome Myself!!! I've never had the NP Raspberry -- I don't like my beer fruity -- except for an occasional lime in a Pacifico pre-celiac dx. Oh my...someone needs to produce a gluten-free Mexican Beer!!! -

Books - need. Addie's lighter scale read - yay. Mushrooms are poking up everywhere - wonder why. Vegies are not necessary every meal - fresh is always better. Grumpy, but house much cleaner than when the day began - tired - thankful. My baby graduates tomorrow - celebrate. -
ARCHIVED Test Results! Need Help Understanding
GottaSki replied to mmcc54's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I believe these are the same two tTG antibody tests...if they were total serum they would have much different ranges/results. -
ARCHIVED Test Results! Need Help Understanding
GottaSki replied to mmcc54's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Again MMCC! I hadn't seen when you posted these results. Elevated Platlets, TSH, Liver Enzymes and increased lymphocytes are all indicative of Celiac Disease -- they can be caused by things other than Celiac Disease, but together with a positive tTG IgG it certainly points towards celiac disease. I agree with Nicole -- many doctors will not diagnose... -

Good Luck at the Docs Cleaning the house for the grad party today and to make it a bit more short people friendly...nothing breakable per se -- just the short ones find all sorts of things I try to stash away -- should put it away properly anyhow and now I have the energy to do so...so I shall.

ARCHIVED Is Celiac The Same As Candidiasis?
GottaSki replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
True...should have said "that generally involves a doctor" -- if using medical insurance. You can indeed order them directly from the lab -- we have done this to obtain follow up blood work on my sons. -
ARCHIVED Even More Confused After Gi Appt!?
GottaSki replied to mmcc54's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome MMCC! This is not a complete celiac antibody panel. Request that they run a the rest of the panel while you are in for the endoscopy. Total Serum IgA DGP - both IgA and IgG AGA - Older Gliadin tests - but are still run quite often -- the DGP is more important. Also, nutrient testing can help indicated malabsorbtion and let you know... -

ARCHIVED Is Celiac The Same As Candidiasis?
GottaSki replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Some of the symptoms are similar...if you suspect....get tested and that does involve a doctor. You want a full celiac antibody test: Total Serum IgA tTG - both IgA and IgG EMA - IgA DGP - both IgA and IgG Good Luck to you -
