I had a couple antibody tests for Gluten come back high (the doctor said not extremely high, but high enough to be abnormal). My genetic test was 'low risk.' I did a very through gluten-free diet for almost three months (including some new cookware) and have not noticed a significant improvement. I have another health condition, which has stayed about...

My Gliadin Antibody Tests came back negative, but my Tissue Transglutaminase AB came back positive - it was 21 with a normal range of 0-19. My results say a level greater than 19 may suggest the possibility of Celiac Disease. I have been on a gluten-free diet for two months and am noticing no major differences. I believe I have a few less aches/pains...

Thank you all very much. Fortunately, I don't think I've 'glutened' myself yet. But wheat/gluten sure shows up in a lot of things! At least I know to watch for it now and will be extra careful with hand lotions/lipsticks.

ARCHIVED Blue Cheese - Safe?
thecatlady replied to kareng's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I adore blue cheese salad dressing, and the one I used to eat does not have wheat (only allergen is milk, and there are no other wheat-suspect ingredients). I gave it up because of the blue cheese/bread mold warning. I am so happy to see this. I am buying my dressing tomorrow. -
Recently my blood test came back positive for Celiac so I officially started full Gluten Free March 1. I found out some of my lotions have wheat in them...including my face cream. It has SPF so I avoid putting it near my mouth, but I'm going to give it away as I don't to risk using it now. Would I have had to ingested it to gluten myself, though? I...

Hello, I had the blood testing three months apart and both showed 'positive' for Celiac Disease. On the other hand, I am not showing vitamin deficiencies and I do not take a daily multi-vitamin. I suppose it may be possible my intestines aren't severely damaged yet. My PCP and Rheumatologist have asked me to go on a gluten-free diet now as the blood...

ARCHIVED New Member, New Diagnosis, Upset And Confused!
thecatlady replied to thecatlady's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thank you so much! I've now purchased my first dozen eggs in quite a while... I also bought a new skillet (have to learn to make Omelets and Salmon!)...and I have a bread maker I've never used. Are there Gluten-Free mixes for that? I always felt a bit guilty not having used it and now I'm glad I didn't. It's not contaminated! LOL I'm searching away... -
ARCHIVED New Member, New Diagnosis, Upset And Confused!
thecatlady posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've been having various issues over the last couple of years and being treated for Orthastatic Intolerance. I also was having other tests results coming back abnormal and finally saw a Rheumatologist who had me tested for Celiac Disease. My Tissue Transglutaminase IGA came back positive. She is putting me on a 3 month gluten-free diet and boy, is this...
