thank you, thank you, thank you for all who posted! I stopped beating myself up over the weekend and decided to stay the course for the next 6 months. I'm sure we are doing a good job of beign gluten free. It was a momentary panic on my part! I will talk to my doctor about getting the other numbers checked. Again, thank you so much!

I hope you feel better after getting all these supportive posts. I do not have celiac disease but my poor daughter suffered for (luckily only) about 2 years before we figured it out. I beat myself up, maybe worse, because it was my child who was hurting. Once I took her to the pediactric gastroenterologist he immediately (took about 1 month) diagnosed...

My first attempt at gluten free cinnamon rolls was a disaster...or so I thought, the kids still ate them up. The 2nd attempt was much better. I really love the Pamela's chocolate cake mix. I also recommend that if you are baking for an occasion that you do a "practice run" before the real one. I picked up a Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix because I was...

All I can offer you is my support as I am not a Celiac myself. My 11 year old daughter was diagnosed about 6 months ago. We just went in for her 6 month check up and we all cheered and praised her for gaining 7 lbs! I chuckled and told her enjoy it while you can...won't be long before gaining weight is not what you want. As a person who has struggled...

I don't have any good invormation for you, but will be very interested to hear some of the replies. I posted a few posts ago about my daughter who had a 172 and after 6 months she is at 28. Not good enough, needs to be below 20 as you said. We have been strictly gluten free. I've been beating myself up over the last few days trying to figure out where...

One of the things that really bothered me about the whole thing is that she is totally symptom free. Except for once when she got glutened at a Christmas gathering she has been doing exceptionally well. She gained 7 lbs and 1/2" over the 6 months. What freaked me out is that here she is symptom free but still testing positive for active Celiac. That scared...

The only number I have is the IgA which went from 172 to 28.

I need some feedback on Amy's rice crust pizza. My daughter may be getting some hidden gluten somewhere so I am re-evaluating our eating habits. We usually have an Amy's pizza once a week or so. Even with the gluten free claim on the box it is listed on the back that it is manufactured in the same facility at wheat. Comments? Experiences? Thanks...

My daughter was diagnosed about 6 months ago (11 year old). We just had her 6 month check up. Her initial TTg level was 172 and now it is at 28. The doc says we need it to be below 20. He was happy with our progress but says we need to do better. At the time I figured it was at 28 because she was getting hidden gluten somewhere or maybe because I had...
