    Thanks Revenwoodglass...I think that is the type of celiac my sister has...she has very bad osteoporosis...as well as vitamin deficiencies...she has improved very slowly..but still has positive biopsies..I will mention the soy possibility to her. I just found out my younger sister now has celiac...that makes 3 out of 4 siblings all sisters. Both parents carried...

    Ravenwood...just a quick response to your post...the reason for my endoscope was not for celiac diagnosis....due to the fact I am already gluten free..although he strongly suspects the diagnosis and encouraged me to continue on my gluten-free diet and not attempt a challenge....I have never had an endoscope before, because I went gluten-free before having...

    The endoscopy was today it was a piece of cake...easy...didn't remember a thing! He took tons of samples.....preliminary results....gastritis, esophagitis, GERD, and Hiatal Hernia...he did also take a snip of some vili when he was in there just in case. SO I have to continue on prescription strength Prilosec until the biopsies come back. We will see....

    I am having an endoscopy for possible GERD and Esophageal Spasm...he knows I have gone gluten-free and also strongly suspects the dx of celiac even though I have gone gluten-free. (bloodwork was NEG) He said he was going to look for anything related to celiac when he is in there. My sisters also have celiac and continue to have positive biopsies for celiac...

    My first endoscopy is tommorow....any suggestions? Do you remember anything? Thanx

    It has been awhile since I have posted...been gluten free for awhile and I have been a little lax about my gluten intake...such as BBQ sauces, eating out etc...nothing I thought was major...what the heck was I thinking? I know better...I just got out of the hospital for a full cardiac work up for chest pain. They think it is now gastro related perhaps esophageal...

    Hi Homemaker,

    Was wondering if you'd email me - have some questions about your symptoms and results.

    I have a close friend that don't believe that what they experience could be Celiac. It gets to the point they can't breathe with the bloating and pain...not to mention migraines since was younger...and has an autistic son and grandchildren.

    Feedback would be good refe...

    Well, I haven't posted in awhile because I have been sick for weeks...till they finally found out that the problem was my Gall Bladder.. It all started over 3 weeks ago with vomiting, diarrhea,Fever, chills and slight abdominal pain...I thought it was a virus and just let it pass...but I never felt right after that...bloating and pain...and then I had a...

    Well I have been a sick puppy.... Over a week ago I had a spell of vomiting diarrhea with fever for a couple of days...my stomach seemed painful too...I thought it was just a stomach flu...Then a day ago it all happened again. I ended up in the ER for dehydration and they thought it was my gall bladder but they could not do an ultrasound for some reason...

    I just got over a stomach flu...I had a fever, vomiting and the big D... This is only the third day...I have no more vomiting or D....but it seems I feel full the moment food hits my stomach....there is that upper abdominal fullness..and gurgling gas....I am only gluten free for barely 3 months now.. so my gut was just beginning to heal... Any advice...

    Thanks for the feedback on the chili...I had not tasted that one yet... but wow that chicken noodle was fastastic!

    I am not too sure that all of Kettle Cusine Soups are gluten free...but they appear that way on their website... Open Original Shared Link

    I am just getting over a horrible stomach flu...and needed some nutrition fast! A few weeks prior I had picked up some Kettle Cusine Gluten Free frozen soup.."smartly" thinking that the winter season had arrived and I just might need something in a pinch... Well sure enough I got sick and when I was holding food down I pulled out the chicken noodle soup...

    Good for you! I second that! I would never go back to gluten...I have embraced a gluten free life totally...My body tells me gluten is not my friend, I only used Enterolab testing as a guidepost to direct my own decision making process. I know that Enterolab does not make a diagnosis...BUT...again...it was used as a tool in my own decision making process...
  15. homemaker
    I was already aware that Enterolab does not claim to diagnose Celiac Disease.... It is my humble opinion that current accepted testing for Celiac Disease is woefully inadequate....The Gold Standard diagnosis will not be Gold Standard for long....

    Ahhh You have answered my puzzlement.... That BOTH gluten sensitivity and Celiac produce antibodies that attack your system... I did not know that! That was my confusion...I thought somehow that only Celiac caused high ttg.... THANKS!
  17. homemaker
    Great Questions!!! I would love to hear the answers as well....MY results are similar to yours... My IgA Anti-gliadin was a 9 and due to the presence of symptoms they suggested gluten free diet, and my ttg was a 10...but mine showed very high malabsorption... I have one Celiac Gene (HLA_DQ-0201) and One Gluten Sensitive Gene (HLA_DQ2-0202) which when...
  18. homemaker
    QUOTE...."I am also a double DQ-2 and what that means is both of your parents carry the gene for Celiac....you inherit one from each parent. Celiac Disease is on both ides of your family, like mine. Not too hard to grasp considering my father is Irish/English and my mother is Scottish/English. It also signifies that your chances of triggering is greater with...

    I was glutened in my own house over Thanksgiving as well...gas constipation etc...not pleasant... So your post was timely... I am eating light...drinking lots of fluids....avoiding dairy....and waiting....
  20. homemaker
    For me anyway ..... my fecal malabsorption did not match my results thru enterolab... I was 1 month gluten free when I sent my results off to Enterolab.... Enterolab results 11/23/09 (after one month gluten free) Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA 10 units Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 9 units Fecal Fat 1267 units HLA-DQB1 Allele 1: 0201 HLA-DQB1 Allele...

    How long have you been gluten free? 4 months? I know that during the first few weeks of going gluten free, I also suffered from anxiety and irregular heartbeats etc... but I think that was due to "Gluten Withdrawal" more than anything else...I felt like I was in "detox" you might look up gluten withdrawl....

    Thanks for posting this topic...I have wondered the same thing....It is a comfort to now that the Gluten Free diet is a healthy one! I am between doctors right now and have not been tested for vitamin or mineral deficiencies as of yet... But I intend on checking out my levels soon!

    Here are my disasters and successes.... Pumpkin Pie came out great! Apple Pie top crust came out too tough (made it too thick) Pecan Pie crust was hard as a rock (it was the corn syrup, gluten-free Pie Crust and corn syrup don't mix) Turkey was exceptional! Stuffing was mediocre... Homemade Cranberry Sauce was awesome! My adult kids...

    Thanks everyone... this is all so interesting...the genes are so hard to understand... Now that I have learned a few things about genes I am looking at my family history with more scrutiny... My mom almost died as kid and had to live on rice gruel and bananas for years... (Celiac or what they used to call sprue?????...that, in those days they thought...

    For me...going Gluten Free...solved my constipation, chronic headaches and joint pain
