    Ravenwoodglass is right, positive IGA added to your family history and symptoms is pretty telling. I had a Celiac panel and the only positive test was the AGA IGA (it was over 60). The NP at the GI office told me I was negative for Celiac, but had some immune problem. I took the results to my PCP and she diagnosed me Celiac positive with the IGA and symptoms...

    You should definitely not be drinking pop if you have gastritis. It will definitely burn your stomach. The Prilosec is for the gastritis. That is the standard treatment for gastritis. It lowers the stomach acid content and, in theory, gives the stomach lining a chance to heal.

    Those were some of my symptoms before going gluten-free, but I haven't had them since the first couple of weeks on the gluten-free diet. Maybe CC somewhere? I have found that Align has helped me keep things more regular. I recently ran out and went a few days without it and I could definitely tell a difference. So, for now, it's part of my regular daily...

    I was recently diagnosed and have been gluten-free for about 2 months now. I developed some watery, yellow diarrhea today and I'm not sure whether I was glutened or have a GI virus/infection. I don't have any nausea, fever, etc. I did eat at our church dinner on Saturday and had some potatoes that looking back on it, may have had some gluten in the seasoning...

    As a kid I would be very irregular, only once every 3 to 4 days, but then I'd get bouts of D. As an adult, I would be mostly C and then 10 months ago everything went crazy and I was mostly D alternating with extreme C. I started losing weight like crazy and that's when we started looking for a cause. They checked everything. I've had scopes from both...

    I know you said you eat plenty of lean protein, but are you including good sources of dietary fat? Fat helps our blood sugar stay stable for longer. Each meal should have a balance of the right portions of protein, carb, and fat to bring your blood sugar up and have it stay stable until your next meal. Also, if you are having blood sugar issues after meals...

    I was just diagnosed and so I'm just getting started at de-glutening my home. I have a husband and 5 kids living at home right now that all are gluten eaters. The kids will all have to be tested, although none are symptomatic as of now. I am trying not to feel overwhelmed at figuring out what I need to separate and change. I found myself wiping crumbs...

    I was just diagnosed by my PCP based on my blood test results and symptoms. The NP at the GI office told me I didn't have Celiac, but my PCP (who has Celiac herself) took one look at my blood test and said, "you have Celiac." She said I didn't need to have an endoscopy unless I wanted one. She didn't feel the need to put me through going back on gluten...

    I felt that way at the beginning, too. I made myself eat. I also found that eating more whole foods and avoiding the processed foods made a difference in my appetite.

    What kind of test should my children have done? I was talking about this with my daughter and son this afternoon.

    Sorry, Jacksonville, FL :-(

    I was referred back to my PCP by the NP at the GI office. The NP had told me I did not have Celiac, even though my antigliadin IgA was very positive, because everything else was negative. My PCP took one look at my blood work and said, "you have Celiac disease." It turns out she has Celiac herself and is very knowledgeable about it. She said I could go...

    I'm in the same boat as you. All my tests came back negative, except the anti gliadin IgA, which was pretty significantly positive at 61 (>17 being positive). The NP at my GI office said I was negative for Celiac and that the IgA can indicate someone who has a problem with their immune system. She did not elaborate on this, but told me to follow up...

    I haven't been eating gluten for about a week now. Most of my GI issues are getting better. The D has stopped, much less gas, and bloating. I still am exhausted, have insomnia (can get to sleep, but wake frequently and very early and can't get back to sleep), and have trouble eating very much at all. I am having some throat/swallowing issues that are...

    Hello everyone, I posted in the pre-diagnosis forum, but didn't get any response, so I'm hoping someone on this board has some advice for me. These are my test results: TtG antibody IgA <3 reference range <5 negative Gliadin antibody IgG <3 reference range <11 negative Gliadin antibody IgA 61 reference range >17 positive Endomysial...

    I am wondering about this, too. I have been having GI issues off and on for 9 months. I have had a period of 4 to 6 weeks during that time when I felt great and I was eating gluten. Then, after a stressful event, I started with D, gas, and bloating again. My GI tested me for Celiac, but said I didn't have it. My tests were all negative, except the anti...

    Hello everyone, This is my first post here and hoping for some insight. I have been having GI issues for the last 9 months. They have consisted of abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite at times, weight loss of 40 pounds from August to February. I also have fatigue, sleep disturbance (waking very early, 4:30 or 5:00, and can't get...
