    You'd be a millionaire in a week if you sold those online! LOL! But seriously, that IS your primary job -- especially when they're 2 and 5 for goodness sake! And now the next level part of your job where you feed the family has become harder than it used to be so it takes more time and energy. If you're getting frustrated with feeling like you're...

    I get the frustration -- I'm all about that right now (new to this too). I found a book online (and ordered it) called Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide. Go here Open Original Shared Link It'll help with the when-in-doubt items and it's a small enough book that you can just leave it in your car and have it even when you just stop by the store spontaneously...

    If you have a recipe you really like, I'd love to have it! I spent the entire morning today just doing pancake recipes (since I can't eat any of the cereals, frozen waffles, etc. that I used to eat) and found 2 (a rice-based and a corn-based) that worked pretty well, but I was hoping to magically find one that was indistinguishable from my previous ones...

    ARCHIVED I Want Them To Be Wrong!

    MartialArtist posted a topic in Doctors

    I received a diagnosis of celiac disease a week ago yesterday. I'm diligently following a strict gluten-free diet and aggressively exploring options to continue a diet that resembled my "regular" diet with replacement gluten-free items. So I'm not *acting* illogically but I'm still dealing with some pretty strong feelings of denial. The bottom line I want...

    As you can see from my info on the left, I am also new to this, but this is what I have been told by my doctor's office (and others before): The TTG IgA and TTG IgG tests are highly specific (like 95%) meaning that if those test come back positive, you have an extremely high likelihood of having celiac disease. The Gliadin IgG test is only 75% specific...

    I study a mixed martial art program with its roots in Tae-Kwon-Do. (It originated as a Tae-Kwo-Do school but the founder expanded the curriculum over time to incorporated techniques from multiple arts including some small-circle ju jitsu, some escrima stick fighting, some elements from American boxing, some from Thai kick boxing, etc.) I've been doing it...

    @proud-armywife - I first got diagnosed through an endoscopy looking for a possible bleed that was causing my anemia b/c there was at least some evidence of bleeding (that ultimately didn't pan out). The word from that was "severe villous atrophy consistent with celiac disease" but the nurse didn't explain it well on the phone so I dismissed her out of hand...

    TTG IgA was listed as ">100". My lab document says negative result is <4 and definitive positive is anything >10 (someone else posted >19 as positive. Doesn't matter, I guess b/c 100 is > 19 anyway!)

    I was diagnosed all of YESTERDAY with celiac and have been doing everything I can to gain as much information as fast as I can. I've been aware of celiac disease for quite some time, so it's not a "baptism by fire" exactly, but the thing that has blown my mind the most is the talk of "cross contamination". Is it really that serious a concern for everyone...
