@jestgar thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. @IrishHeart - The problem that i'm going to have, other than the diet of course, is right now, nothing is really wrong with me. I'm healthy, have good energy, no real issues that i know of. I do understand that given time, i probably would have issues. but unlike many of you, i'm probably not...

I have a follow up visit, I'm not sure if he is going to re-test me or not. I guess i need to ask about periodic testing to ensure compliance. I believe i said i wasn't trying to eat small amounts of gluten. I am just the type of person who needs to know every detail about something. I'm not crazy OCD, but I'am a "need to know" person. i grew...

@tarnalberry thanks for the info, that's kind of what i was after. This may be a silly follow up question. but i was wondering. If the anti-bodies are bad, then why does the test say you are normal if you are under 19. my dr. said you need to be under 19, but i was @ 39 so is it ANY are bad, or just as long as they are under a certain amount? this...

I appreciate the extra info and time put in to give it. Thanks!

I do appreciate the info. And I'm not trying to be pain here My understanding is that this is a cumulative issuse and once off gluten, over time, your gut will heal. given that I am without issue, if i eat no gluten and let my gut heal, i fail to understand how eating (just for the sake of example) a burrito is going to send me over the edge for the...

I'm looking for a bit of advice on this issue. My biopsy's were "borderline", I have no issues when i eat gluten, in any amount. my only gastro issue, is acid reflux, which i didn't even know i had, my dr. told me i had a little bit going on. so my body at this point isn't telling me anything is wrong. my blood test however says my anti-body numbers are...

I was also just diagnosed and I am in the same boat as you. I'm very bummed about this. I keep telling myself, it could be worse and that in reality it's just a food allergy, it's not like it's cancer or aids or some type of automatic death sentence. it's something you can deal with even though it's inconvenient. And at the end of the day, it's probably...

sorry for the gender confusion, I am the dad I had milk allergy growing up and relatives with the egg allergy, but we all grew out of it. so while it's been a tough 2 years, we feel there was light at the end of the tunnel. she is starting to tolerate milk and items with small amounts of baked egg as the ingredients.. here reactions were severe at first...

Thanks for the responses. we just had our 2nd child and my daughter who is 2, has milk and egg allergies. between the 2 kids and the food allergies, I'm not quite ready to have yet another major life change, but i guess it could be worse.

When I talked to the dr's assistant, she said the pathology was such that they couldn't rule it in or out. I don't know much about the blood work aspect of it though. I didn't know if the blood work is a definitive confirmation, regardless of biopsy results.

I'm sure this is just denial talking, but I was wondering from those that have experience with this disease think about my diagnosis. I had an EGD done and the biopsy came back "borderline" and then a blood test was done. the dr. said my anti-body levels were 39 and needed to be below 19 I have NO symptoms though. I eat everything under the sun and...
