    Thank you! Thats great to know! I just read the article the previous posted suggested and I was ecstatic to see that Quest offers it, so I'm printing the article and taking it to my attempt at seeing a gi next week. Thanks again!

    Wow! Thank you ALL so much for your words of encouragement and your good advice! It is SO comforting to know that you all understand and don't think I'm crazy! For years I've thought it was me and I deserved to be treated that way because I'm fat. Not anymore!!! Thank you all for giving me the courage to do what is right and stand up for myself in my...

    I'm new to all this myself, but I've been reading in a lot of websites about how much further Eruope is ahead of the US when it comes to celiac and gluten intolerances. In some countries, I read, fast food places have as many gluten free items in their menu as regular glutened items. I have a cousin who lived in Europe and traveled for work all over Europe...

    I was referred to a gastroenterologist by my gp after my endomysial ab (iga) screen came back positive. I have been so excited to finally have an answer for all my symptoms, and was looking forward to seeing the gastro to get the endoscopy and finally move on from this diagnostic stage to being gluten free for life!!! Well, the doctor I went to was...

    Can anyone suggest a good doctor in Florida? I live in the Central Florida area (Orlando), but at this point I'm willing to travel anywhere. I have a positive blood test (endomysial ab (iga) screen), and my gp says I need to see a gastro. Went to one today and he was horrible! He sounded like he was in the dark ages when it came to celiac. He called...

    Thank you so much! I'm just confused because it seems so many people that post their results on here have range numbers and and several tests and mine doesn't, so I was wondering if it could be a false positive or a "low" positive or what. I, too, hope someone will chime in with more technical information, but I really appreciate your feedback

    Hi! Can anyone please explain to me what the tests I had done mean? My lab report says: ENDOMYSIAL AB(IGA) SCREEN POSITIVE ENDOMYSIAL AB TITER 1:5 This is all my results say. I've looked and posted on this forum, but many of the tests I see have numbers and ranges. I'm wondering if my doctor should have done other...

    I use Aveda products for my hair care and make up. Does anyone here know if they are gluten-free and/or has anyone ever had a reaction to them? Thanks!

    You should definitely consider doing the med school route and specializing in celiac!!! There is certainly a need for doctors who understand and will actually listen to their patients instead of trying to fit them into some pre-formed parameters that they were indoctrinated with in med school. Sorry, I will get off my soap box now!!! I actually have a...

    Wow! I'm so glad you posted this! I've been thinking the same thing!!! I'm new to all this and don't have my official dx yet. Blood test came back positive, so I guess endoscopy is next. Anyway, since learning about this I've now wondered why I never get sick, even when my kids get sick (and I have six!). For the past 5 years, I've have totally overhauled...

    I'm still in the process of getting diagnosed. My blood test came back positive so endoscopy is next. Before even going for my blood test, I began a gluten free/dairy free diet and the very first significant thing I noticed, besides feeling much better in general, is that my period was NOTHING like it was before going gluten-free! My periods were so heavy...

    I'm a newbie too, but I wanted to respond to your post. Definitely go to the doctor! I'm 42 and have been battling problems my whole life. Because I'm obese, I've always been told to go on a diet or get weight loss surgery. The problem is that they assumed obesity was the cause of my problems and never thought it was a result of them. I wish I had known...

    Thank you. Wow! I've learned so much here that I never would have thought of. Thank you for the time you respond to my post

    My labs came back as follows: ENDOMYSIAL AB (IGA) SCREEN POSITIVE (REF RANGE: NEGATIVE) ENDOMYSIAL AB TITER 1:5 NO REF RANGE GIVEN I've been reading lots of posts where people had lots of numbers and ranges in their labs, but this is all mine says. I don't understand what the test is and...

    Thank you everyone! I really appreciate your input! I will go back to eating gluten until my test results. You are right. If I'm going to go through the process of testing, then I might as well get the most accurate result I can.

    Thank you. I was afraid of that. I have an appt. with a ge on the 19th, but I dont' know when they will schedule the endoscopy for. I've been gluten-free for about 2 weeks now, and I'm deathly afraid of eating any gluten. I'm even having dreams that I eat a little and then realize it was gluten. LOL Will being gluten-free for a few weeks still make a...

    Hi! Last week I saw my doctor and asked him to run a test to rule out celiac. I just received my copy in the mail and it says its positive. Here is what the result says: ENDOMYSIAL AB SCREEN (IGA) REFLEX TO TITER ENDOMYSIAL AB(IGA) SCREEN Positive ENDOMYSIAL AB TITER 1:5 Can anyone tells me...
