The presence of the UGT1A1 promoter (TA) allele has been associated with reduced UGT1A1 activity...

    In my quest to find out what was wrong with me I saw both a GI doc and an allergist. With hives I would consider an allergist the first step.You could to be allergic to wheat/gluten. An allergy to wheat / gluten ( as any allergy )can be life threatening .

    I was diagnosed with gilberts back in 2011 I did not have gene testing done until Dec of 2013 for gilberts ( among other things) at which time the gilberts was confirmed. . The most important thing is to rule out anything ( other than gilberts ) that is causing your high bilirubins . The reason I mentioned your copper levels is some of us with gilberts...

    Welcome meg51577, have you had gene testing done for gilberts ? The other thing I would ask is has your doctors checked your copper levels ?

    celiac disease tests look for the damage caused to your body when you eat gluten containing foods If you stop eating these foods, the damage can start to heal pretty quickly—and you may test negative even when you actually have the condition. To get a celiac disease diagnosis, your doctor usually first orders blood tests that look for antibodies that y...

    For me the gluten free cookies would be an issue ,, but I am super sensitive and have multiple intolerances . Possible cross contamination at your uncles house ( is it a totally gluten free house ?) Doing a strict elimination diet is the best way to rule out other possible intolerance. If you are not able to do a strict elimination diet just eliminating...

    At one point in my wonderful journey I also thought I was intolerant of rice . I quit eating it for a bit then switched to lundberg organic basmati brown rice and have no issues with it.

    Personally ,I found a ketogenic diet was not sustainable.You can eat gluten free without restricting your carbs to that degree. Eating paleo is a good example. I would not recommend a ketogenic diet to any one . But we are all different and we all have to find what works for us

    that is a really good question frieze. Maybe a second test to verify is in order . dartminia2002, you say you are on a strict keto diet ,, medical reasons?. Have you started any new meds in the past few months?

    No matter how pretty the package you wrap them in GMO's are something I do NOT want in my food supply

    You may want to consider eliminating any prepared gluten free products ( such as gluten free breads, mixes ,products made in shared facilitys ect...) and stick with a whole foods diet. In the US prepared foods that have a gluten free label are still permitted to have a small amount of gluten . This trace amount may not effect most celiacs but those who...

    Open Original Shared Link the list of consequences of continuing to ingest gluten for someone that is gluten intolerant or celiac is mindbogglingly ( and more than a bit scary )

    Yeap this sux Take a very deep breath and know that we do understand Give your self a break , you are not going to be perfect . It takes time and even then we make mistakes. When you are ready to go gluten free ( after all your testing is done ) try to stick to whole foods. Ask many questions . Oh and .... Soy is evil , EVIL I say My reaction...

    Yes hashimotos and graves' are both auto-immune disease of the thyroid . (typically ) hashimotos is hypothyroid and graves is hyperthyroid .
  21. cahill
    I have thyroid issues ( hashimotos possibly crossing into graves' ) am on meds /have my thyroid checked every three months. To my knowledge ( and I get copies of every test I have ) I have never had my iodine levels checked

    If you are going to have any testing for celiacs Do not stop eating gluten until your testing is complete . That said ... I had active DH lesions well into my second year gluten free.The fact that I was undiagnosed for an extremely long time and am super sensitive are major factors that contributed to this I am sure .
  23. cahill
    Irish my lovely good to see you ,hope all is well

    I have seen a dietitian twice once for celiacs and once for diabetes. When I saw her for my diabetes she was helpful,, not so for celiacs
  25. cahill
    As someone with DH, the idea of intentionally placing iodine on my skin makes me shudder
