    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.
  11. Marc49
    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...
  14. Marc49
    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....
  16. Marc49
    Thanks for all of the info folks,.....I'm going to call Quest soon and see exactly what they offer. I have to use them due to my insurance, but I prefer them anyway. I need to know what to ask for, as my doc will probably roll his eyes and ask me why I don't just stay gluten-free. On the other hand if I know exactly what I want done, he always goes...
  17. Marc49
    Thanks a lot for the information. I presume this is a mainstream test, and is simply a blood draw? Where I live I use Quest Diagnostics for all of my blood work. Also looks like I need to 'gluten' myself a bit longer than I was thinking before testing.
  18. Marc49
    Thank you very much! I already have one of the pizza pans she mentions with all the holes in the bottom,.....also have several stones. Guess you can tell I like pizza! Actually come fall here and I do my 'challenge' per se,.......I am going to get a pie from my old place about three times a week! I drink a glass of wine myself from time to time...
  19. Marc49
    And surely you are going to give me that pizza crust recipe, or a link,.....right Sylvia? I don't have issues with beer in Florida, but I also have never seen any gluten-free beer around here. That was another thing I had to give up!
  20. Marc49
    I'm sure others might be interested, but that isn't my issue. I'm just trying to find a good recipe that I can make myself. I have been using the 12" crusts from Venice Bakery, and they are the best I have tried to date. I prebake the crust at 450 for 5 minutes after brushing it with olive oil. Then I put on my sauce and toppings and put it back in...
  21. Marc49
    I wish you luck with this. I had a similar problem, and still do but it doesn't seem to be connected to gluten since I have been gluten-free since the first of the year. Mine is very minor and only seems to occur on my forearms or bicep area. I'm a fairly hairy guy, so that doesn't help I guess. I never had a problem with acne or anything else until...
  22. Marc49
    That was the reason I considered the olive oil and Italian seasonings. Being as I am not a baker yet,.....I better stick with the base recipe for now. Sylvia, I know you like olive oil, so my question is have you ever used it in baking at all, or is it not suited somehow? Personally I love the taste of olive oil, and generally use it with some...
  23. Marc49
    I'm still considering using olive oil, and putting some basil and oregano in it. Do you folks think that would ruin it? LOL I guess I should just follow the directions for my first try though! Guess I'll use the whisk, and see what happens. Good thing is I live out in the 'boons' per se, and I left part of my acreage wooded. I have all kinds...
  24. Marc49
    Yes,.....I read it again. I guess I missed the part where it says to let it 'rest' for an hour! LOL You can see where it says to use the whisk attachment. I figure a whisk is the same as a whip,.....right? I'm going to try and make it late afternoon if I get enough of my chores done.
  25. Marc49
    That gene test meant absolutely nothing to me,.....I simply trusted what my doc told me at the time. I also don't understand now, why he didn't order a blood test. He simply took the borderline saliva reading and went straight for the gene test. At that point he told me I should go gluten-free. Then I got the endoscopy and nothing showed up at all....
