Soy really is bad news, I avoid it like the plague! Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

I don't think they are looking for a parasite A stool sample is tested to detect fat in the stool, since celiac disease prevents fat from being absorbed from food.

Aww, poor kid! I hope you get some answers too! Hubby and I were talking last night about how much better he feels since going off bread and pasta (obvious gluten products) etc. I asked him some more detailed questions, like what about hidden gluten like in beer? He had a beer the last two nights and it did not seem to affect him. His response was that...

Sugar and refined carbs/ high glycemic load fruits and grains are going to put weight on. You need to avoid those things, drink more water and you will see weight loss.

You got some good input already about books and such, but I would like to address diet. You mention being low carb and that the bulk of your diet is protein and veg. I have a couple questions and then I will give you some feedback, ok? What does your typical day's food intake look like, what exactly did you eat today or on a typical day? How...

High Gliadin Ab IgG is an indication or potential celiac/gluten intolerance, but from all of my reading there is quite a broad range of interpretation. I would say it definitely is a sign that she is not tolerating gluten well. I woudl certainly take her off gluten right away...if you really want to push for more testing then she needs to continue to...

I KNOW that I have issues with gluten in terms of addictive its addictive qualities--bread (and ice cream) are my drugs of choice. I also have some definite GI issues...and have reflex sympathetic dystrophy. The sugar blood sugar spike is what keeps us coming back to simple carbs like bread and sugar. It is really a roller coaster ride of peaking and...

Kefir is a wonderful and natural source of pro-biotic. It is a cultured milk product and very easy to make and use. Most who are lactose intolerant can handle kefir because it is cultured. Google it. Anytime you can ingest nutrients in their natural form, you will gain the most benefit. Edited to add: the difference between yogurt and kefir...

OK thank you....it looks like it is worth it. She has been gluten-free since Sunday, if I can get her in on Monday or Tues. (8 days gluten-free) is that too long? I know being off gluten is not good for testing but this is a bagel for breakfast, bread for lunch kind of girl...she should be pretty loaded with the stuff!

Same mixer and spatula...different cupcake pans. I had kids doing the cooking and flour got all over the place! Oh, boy...lots and lots to learn

Long story but I have a 16 yr old who appears to be gluten intolerant. I dug up some old lab results and see that she does have gliadin antibodies in her system...confirming that gluten is likely the source of her GI distress....even though Dr proclaimed negative on celiacs. Fast forward 5 yrs form her testing, I am having my 7 yr old tested. Should...

I would go gluten-free, it certainly can't hurt. When he is older, you can always do a gluten challenge.

Had the blood drawn today...Dr. was great about my requests although said they could not to the DGP as it is still 'experimental'. I should hear back middle of next week! Yay, things are finally underway!

Wow Carecare...we are definitely in the same exact boat! I would interpret your DD's results as being yes, she has trouble (on some level) with gluten! The more I read, the more gluten intolerance/sensitivity/celiacs reminds me of autism....there is such a broad spectrum. If you DD is ill when consuming gluten, then it really does not matter what the numbers...

Thank you for all the great responses! I appreciate it To clear up a few questions she is going gluten free because we recently pulled some lab work that was done 5 yrs ago. She was tested for celiacs and the Dr said it was negative but she was positive on the antibody....which meant nothing to me and so I (stupidly) did not ask for clarification as...
