ARCHIVED Xanax And Other Meds
MM5079 replied to MM5079's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thank you so much for your reply. I recently started taking Xanax and I started getting symptoms and I figured it must be the kind I'm taking. Do you know what labs in addition to Mylan labs are gluten-free? Thanks! -
ARCHIVED Xanax And Other Meds
MM5079 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've searched thew web to find out if Xanax and any of its generic forms are gluten-free, and I haven't found a consistent answer. I've found "yes, it has gluten," and "no, it doesn't" Is there a site that is frequently updated with what meds are safe and gluten free? Thanks! -

Hello, All My bloodword tested positive for Celiac about three weeks ago. I had an upper endoscopy last week, and right after the procedure my doctor reported that she saw "blunted" and "less prominent" villi.

ARCHIVED Blood And Biopsy Results
MM5079 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi, All I went for blood testing last week and my tTg was at a high value of 24. However, my Endomysial Iga was lower than the 1-10 ratio, whatever that means. Not surre if both need to be positive for for diagnosis. Today I had my EGD to confirm the diagnosis, and after the procedure the doctor gave me some pics and said she is not going to officially... -
ARCHIVED Help Interpreting Blood Test!
MM5079 replied to MM5079's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It's almost too good to be true to finally know what's wrong with me. Should I continue eating Gluten until after the biopsy on the 23rd, or is it safe to go ahead and limit my intake as I've been doing? -
ARCHIVED Help Interpreting Blood Test!
MM5079 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, All! I've read and read the site about the blood test, but I'm still a little confused. The nurse called me on the phone to tell me the results, but said everything so fast I couldn't process it well. He said that my anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG-IgA) was 24 and the typical high is 19. He then said my endomysial was below the high raito of... -
ARCHIVED Insight On My Symptoms
MM5079 replied to MM5079's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
THanks for your response! My appointment with the gastro is June 18th. I was thinking I would go gluten free for a couple of days and see how I feel, and then after I have my appointment and I'm given a date for tests, I could resume eating gluten before the test. Would that work or would it still throw off the test? I would just like to get an idea of... -

Hello, I am 27 years old and was diagnosed with IBS at 21. I've been coping with this for years. About four years ago, my uncle (mom's brother) was diagnosed with Celiacs (advanced).
