Hi All, I have been gluten free now going on 6 months and am doing quite well. Most, if not all of my symptoms and issues have disappeared on the gluten free diet. During the 6 month gluten free period, I have gotten "glutened" by mistake a couple of times, usually by eating out in a restaurant and getting cross contaminated. I've noticed that the longer...

Hi all! I've been gluten free for 4 months and doing extremely well on the diet. My husband and I love to eat out, but I'm not sure about sushi. Can you tell me if it is safe to eat sushi?? I know the imitation crab has wheat in it, so I would need to avoid that and also bring my own gluten free soy sauce, but other than that, what do I need to know?...

Please, if anyone can help me to understand these test results: Molecular Analysis of DQA1 Genotype: 0501 (HLA-DQ2) Gluten Sensitivity Positive: Yes Molecular Analysis of DQB1 Genotype: 0201 (HLA-DQ2) Gluten Sensitivity Positive: Yes 0202 (HLA-DQ2) Gluten Sensitivity Positive: Yes If you could just explain in simple enough terms that this "right...

Please, if anyone can help me to understand these test results from genetic testing on my son: Molecular Analysis of DQA1 Genotype: 0501 (HLA-DQ2) Gluten Sensitivity Positive: Yes Molecular Analysis of DQB1 Genotype: 0201 (HLA-DQ2) Gluten Sensitivity Positive: Yes 0202 (HLA...

I would love to hear some opinions as to what are the best genetic test kits on the market for testing for the celiac/gluten genes? Which ones are the most extensive? Thank you!

Jess, Jim N Nicks and Marlin Grill! Owner is good friend of mine.....wonderful food! Many gluten free choices! I was diagnosed 1 month ago and Tom (the owner) is very knowledgable about "gluten free". Cindy

Is there a blood test that tests for gluten intolerance? Thanks!

Thank you for replying Roda! I emailed my doctor's office earlier today requesting why only the one test was run. This is the reply tha I received: "If Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA is negative, the Endomysial Ab, IgA Titer by IFA is not performed." Why does this have to be so difficult?!?

I just got a copy of my bloodwork back from my doctor and here are the results: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA 3 Reference 0-19 This is all that was done. I thought there was a little more extensive testing done than this?? Maybe I am wrong. He says I'm not celiac and basically brushed me off. The only other "oddities...

Does anyone know of a good doctor in the Orlando area that is familiar with celiac testing? I have just been diagnosed and my 29 y.o. son lives in the Orlando/Ocala area and needs to now be tested to see if he has it as well. Thank you!

I hope someone on this forum can help me. I just got the results back from small bowel biopsy and blood work yesterday. GI reports that both were negative and he doesn't believe I have celiac. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. For 13 years, I have had a dull ache in left side of stomach, intermittent diarrhea/constipation, gas, bloating, chronic fatigue...

I'm having endoscopy and biopsy day after tomorrow and I'm a little nervous. Anyone that has already had this done that can offer some positive reinforcement? I would really appreciate it!

Thank you for your post. I think I'm just going to head to B'ham, I have been given a couple of doc's names there (Shallcross and Halama) that are supposed to be very educated in celiac disease. Good luck to you with your children, I hope you find the solutions you need.

Can anyone tell me if elevated cholesterol is a byproduct of celiac disease? I have never had high cholesterol, but in doing routine bloodwork, my cholesterol and liver enzymes are high. Follow up bloodwork showed cholesterol even higher than before, but liver enzymes back to normal. I have not been diagnosed with celiac disease yet, however, I have been...

I recently moved to the Mobile, AL area and I'm in deseprate need of a doctor that is open minded and educated enough to test for celiac disease. I've had typical celiac symptoms over the last 12 years and have been diagnosed with IBS, depression, stress, possible food allergy, it's all in your head, etc., etc. Recent routine lab results showed that my...
