Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA This is a list direct from a Mod here named Mushroom. I did a C&P from my thread so as to save it to a Word document. I have previously been tested positive on the genetic...

An EGD is nothing in terms of testing,.....totally painless. I have had two of them BTW. You are doing the right thing by eating as much 'gluten' as possible. Do NOT cut back until you get the results. I think you are correct to go gluten-free regardless of the biopsy results, but you MAY turn out like I did. I went gluten-free for a year and a half...

That you very much for that added information. I tested low on B-12 one time, but I attribute that to my long term use of Nexium for GERD. I was on 40mg a day for roughly 5 years. I then cut my dosage to the 20mg pill against my GI docs wishes, and have done fine. Funny thing is my B-12 went up after going back to a normal diet, but I also realize...

Thanks a lot Mushroom for the reply. All I can say is I remember the GI doc saying he took quite a number of samples for biopsy. I would have to pull my paperwork to be able to comment further than I have. I am going to get the blood tests done next month, and it will be interesting to see the outcome. I hope that Quest Diagnostics handles these, as...

Mushroom,.....hate to bug you again, but did you see my last post? Would a week at most gluten-free fully, or partially impact my EGD biopsy results? Thanks again.

Obviously you are looking to take offense at what I said when it was not meant in that way. First off YOU start a thread titled "I'm Done." Sounds quite positive to me. Secondarily, I tried to show you what one test was about that you claimed to be unaware of, and then I went on to say what I HAVE seen in a few folks before. One of my best friends...

Gene test results 1/19/2011,........I joined here 1/21/11, and my EGD was done 2/9/11. Since I came here looking for advice on going gluten-free, I would say I 'may' have been gluten-free totally for possibly a week at most. I really appreciate the list of blood tests, and will get this done as soon as i can. You understand,......I just want to know...

Don't know how many remember me from awhile back, but I am in need of having a question answered. Little bit of history first. I was diagnosed with IBS a long time ago, and had symptoms that seemed to match. I ended up going to a functional medicine type doc a few years ago, and for some reason he ordered a gene test through Enterolab. It came...

Open Original Shared Link ANA as you probably know is looking for any inflammatory issues, too many to mention. One thing I have learned,.......when ANYONE obsesses on a health issue, and spends a lot of time doing research on their own, you are bound to drive yourself to distraction at one point or the other. This article leads to another article...

Sylvia,.....I tried it as well and had the same problem as you did. Hope you remember me from other threads! No altitude issues in Florida for sure.

Well I am bringing this thread back to life! Sylvia,.....I tried your pizza crust recipe after I finally rounded up the ingredients. While it didn't taste like the little NY style place I used to go, I was impressed for certain! I actually preferred it to the crusts I have been buying in all honesty. That is some sticky goo though when it comes...

I believe my insurance might let me go to LabCorp now, but it's not convenient for me in terms of location anyway. Plus my mother that lives in the same county as I do, has used LabCorp and gotten some wacky test results compared to Quest. This is certainly what I will be doing, but I am still going to wait for fall and cooler weather due to my...

No, I really only picked up the one to try and see what they carried. Unfortunately this is a small 'specialty' store, and they were short of stock, waiting for a shipment the day I stopped. I am going to try your pizza crust recipe for certain when I can round up the ingredients. I still have about 6 of the crusts I have been using which are vacuum...

Yes Sylvia,...the mixer had no issues at all. I'm glad I bought this instead of a bread machine. Clean up was easy, and no 'paddle' holes in the bread. Believe it or not the whisk did the job just fine, but I may try the paddle next time. I didn't even pay attention to what flours were in the mix, but what you said might have caused the same impression...

Well I finally got around to making it last evening. Everything went pretty much like expected, and it smelled good while baking. Came out of the pan looking good, and after cooling I sliced it. Last night I had my first sandwich in a long time that wasn't on heated bread per se. Overall it was OK, but I have to say I'm not crazy about the taste....
