    Welcome! With his symptoms I would insist on a full celiac antibody panel: tTG IgA and IgG EMA IgA DGP IgA and IgG You have already had Total Serum IgA -- what was the range for the test you quoted? Also...more nutrient testing besides iron: B1, B2, B6, B12, D, K, Ferritin, Zinc, Copper Once all the blood is drawn -- I strongly suggest...

    You are doing a great job. For me...the weight - it wasn't really "weight" in my case -- the inflammation caused by problematic foods kept me very "heavy" for decades. My final piece of the puzzle was histamine intolerance...but yours may be different. I'm tired...so let me know if you need me to clarify this post. Hang in there

    Why did you remove gluten originally? Perhaps your body is too busy processing gluten to worry about dairy.

    Welcome! To digest lactose - our bodies need lactase - this enzyme is produced in the small intestine. It is advised that newly diagnosed remove dairy for six months if they notice a problem -- most get dairy back. If there is significant to severe damage of the small intestine prior to diagnosis -- a few more intolerances may come into play until...

    LMAO Thanks for the giggle...perhaps I'll add this at the end of the Irish Blessing I was planning on First Corned Beef that I prepared all the way from scratch...when he popped out of the brine crock he looked and smelled just right -- now --- hmmm, let's call him "Pat" is bathing in beer and seasonings in the crockpot -- smelling great here...

    Good Morning Robb- You are right - we are not doctors - but personally I have way too much experience with Lupus and other AIs that often run together with Celiac Disease. My daughter was diagnosed with Lupus at 13...she'll be turning 30 next month and is living a very full life...has it been easy? No. Here is the interesting thing -- none of...

    Loves2 -- Happy, Happy Birthday - wishing you a healthful year filled with joy, minimal pain and lots of yummy new creations to inspire us Irish - yum! Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you and all our "dinner" thread pals ... I am off to pick up Green's so my corned beef can jump in it tomorrow morning. Tonight is steak and cauli-fried rice.

    Yep...that makes sense and I'm looking forward to hearing how your new gadget works. Spaghetti squash took awhile for me to master - seems like it would be simple - and is now -I buy large quantities when they go on sale and keep in our storeroom that stays cool like a basement or root cellar. Ill post how to cook them when I'm back on my laptop.

    Hey Peg -- you and I share a silly birthday - my 4th is next week - Happy "Birthday" to you!

    I have not tried that...but do use a julienne mandolin to make "zu" noodles out of zucchini and eat alot of spaghetti squash.

    :angry: :angry: Still angry this morning :angry: :angry: Last night was some really yummy parsnip garlic fries my hubby made me -- unfortunately I ate them ice cold because son had a late lab at college so I ran over to pick him up after running errands for my folks and sister.....son got down to the parking lot without his bike -- I knew right away...

    Hi Cali! I go to restaurants regularly now (only been vertical for about 5 months) with my husband, family and friends. For now I bring my own because my no-no list is too long -- my hubby and sons are the only ones that can cook for me safely -- FOR NOW. I plan to dine out at well screened gluten-free restaurants within the coming year. With regard...

    I too lost avocado - a very sad day - when my stomach bloated to 9month preg looking during an elimination diet - - took me over a year to find out why. Histamine Intolerance. The enzmes needed to regulate histamine in our bodies is manufactured in the mucosal lining of the small intestine. I remain hopeful that I will get histamine containing and histamine...

    Here I am!!!! Was headed to a wheelchair (probably should have used one last year- I was just too stubborn to accept it from the doctor). The three years that followed my celiac diagnosis were worse than those before diagnosis -- was I frustrated - hell yes -- beyond belief, but I kept trying -- now I am skiing again -- I walk everyday -- sometimes...

    Could not have said it any better. Clearly you have celiac disease. Clearly your doctor is not up to date. Let us know how we can help! Welcome to the Forum

    Happy to help - and glad you took the time to post - never know who we will end up helping. This site is the ultimate in "Pay it Forward". I too was helped immensely during the days following diagnosis and am ever grateful to those who took the time to answer my questions.
  23. GottaSki
    Great...let us know how we can help...and make sure you read the "Newbie 101" thread -- it will get you off on the right start

    I also believe it is the other way around. I had unexplained weight from the time I was a toddler...never overeating and we lived on a very steep hill...it was a one mile uphill walk from my elementary school that I walked each day from the time I was 5. Three miles on bike to and from school for junior high and about two on bike RT to HS before we started...

    We like Bisquick for waffles and Pamela's for pancakes. Haven't tried Better Batter -- interested to see what others post.
