ARCHIVED Still Doing Something Wrong, Levels Came Back To High
KikiUSA replied to KikiUSA's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
This is my first blood test in 3 years. I had no idea I needed to get any blood testing done as the doctors never told me anything! My home is a dual kitchen and I keep all my food and dishes separate, I even hand wash my stuff. But I am definitely going to be stricter and recheck everything I have in my pantry! Here is the paper they gave me with my... -

Doctor didn't say what they were 3 years ago but I thought I was being so careful as I throw up for hours if I get glutened so I am just in shock right now. -

ARCHIVED Confused On Why More Blood Work
KikiUSA posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was diagnosed with celiac in 2009 by a stomach biopsy. I recently had another biopsy done along with a colonoscopy and now my specialist is sending me to have more blood work done. The work order for this blood work states : lab tests - Ttg ab, IgA Ummmmmm they already know I have celiac so why the heck would he have me do more blood work on this????... -
Thanks everyone for your response, I think I will just eat before I go that way I am safe!

Does anyone know if there is any law that says if a restuarant does not provide gluten-free food that you can bring your own in????

I have continual left side pain that runs from under my ribs to my hip. I do notice it gets worse if I have been glutened but I really don't understand why I have it all the time. Does anyone have this at all? Also does anyone know if drinking alcohol makes this worse or does any extra damage? I have had to quiet drinking altogether because I noticed I was...

What your going through is very normal. I think all of us has felt this way but it does get better with time. It took me along time to learn how to make enjoyable food and I think for months I was on eggs and rice lol. Try looking up gluten free recipes, I have found some really yummy ones. It is very important to have someone who supports you so I...
