grrr, I got the results back from my daughter's test last week. I've so peeved!!! You know what that jerk had tested? TTg IGa TTg IGg That's it! I asked while we were in the office what the test included and he was like 'oh,it's very comprehensive, blah blah blah.' I felt ok with his response so I didn't bother busting out my list of...

so the chances of Gluten Intolerance of turning Celiac is low too? I don't think I could eat it everyday and expect to maintain my weight Oh well, it was just an idea. I'm pretty set with avoiding Gluten only because I'm Hashi's. My thyroid seems to behave more when it is not included. I'm more concerned for my daughter and the results will...

Makes sense. Maybe I just want to make it complicated, lol.

ok one more question(maybe two) I'm on a low carb eating plan but once a week you get to have a 'refeed.' If I ingested a lot of gluten during this time period, do you think that would equate to having the 2-4 slices of bread daily that is recommended for a gluten challenge? Just a thought. Another issue I'm trying to understand. If you...

What do the small amounts of Gliadin mean? And the Total test? I know the lower it is the more 'positive,' it is, right? No matter what, if my daughter pops positive on anything I will quit it for good in show of support.

I don't know..the gene tests just said 'not detected.'That is what is on the lab report. I don't know how I would track down the actual gene report?? And where would these genes come from? Can they come from grandparents and skip the parents? lol I don't know anything about my Dad accept his parents are from Italy and my Grandparents on my Moms side...

I have a weird thought/question. I tested negative for the Celiac genes but can one be a 'carrier,' of those genes?? can Gluten Intolerance turn into full blown Celiac?? Are there different tests to measure gluten intolerance -vs- celiac? (I can probably look that up) Daughter's appt is tomorrow morning. And for anyone who would like...

your poor little girl!!(and poor Mommy too) reading with interest to see what those tests come back as. My daughter has an appt tomorrow with her Doc and we'll be getting some tests as well.

well, thanks! I've been tested. I don't have the genes, but I believe I am intolerant. I was mostly gluten-free before I got tested..there were a small amount of antibodies that showed up. I'm sure it would have been higher if I had been eating more. I have a history from when I was my daughter's age(throwing up, diarrhea, etc)..the Dr's back then just...

awww, does that happen to your little one as well?? Has she been tested yet??

This board moves fast! wow! I also wanted to mention and it may be kinda gross, but my daughters stools have been green. She hasn't eaten anything green whatever the test says, I won't feed her something that hurts her tummy. But what if it stops hurting and still does damage? I had the same thing when I was younger and now I have Hashi's...

Let's try this Open Original Shared Link cool, that worked! Like I said, not the best pic.

I'm not the worlds greatest photog but I grabbed a pic this morning.Hopefully I did this right! Open Original Shared Link well, obviously I don't know how to upload photos here the right way and I would have to stay logged into flickr for everyone to see the pic.

well innocently enough the husband stopped at a restraunt with the kids and daughter had a corn dog..instant tummy pain

Thanks for the quick response. By keeping her on gluten would just a serving a day work? Like 1 cookie or a sandwich with her lunch? Her Dr is very good..very astute! She hypothesized a heart defect when she was just 3. No hesitations and sent us for further testing,etc..she had a coarctation of her aorta..a kink basically. Just some side info there....
