I think I am a bit confused about something. I have read some posts where some of you have said that you got positive blood test results, but wanted to get an endoscopy for a solid diagnosis. What else would make the celiac panel positive beside gluten intolerance/celiac? Would it be possible to have positive blood work, and not have any issues with gluten...

Bless your heart..I said a little prayer for you and your son! I wanted to tell you that if you want to take him off casein and gluten, you could start him on a special formula called Neocate. He can even get it via feeding tube if it came down to that. Both my boys are on it, and I know plenty of people who have children that are even tube fed that are on...

Hi, I have been through some similar things...I also had problems that sent me to the neurologist, but it wasnt the same symptoms as you experienced..mine were more severe tingling, like my whole body was vibrating all over, and numbness, things like that...I also had to have emergency gallbladder surgery, and the diarrhea can caused from having the surgery...

I think if it were me, I would just do what someone else had said and cut the part with the sticker on it off with a knife and be done with it! Then I would rinse it after that... Sabrina

I worry about GM foods too! Are they allowed to GM organic foods? Maybe if they arent allowed too, we should just stick to organic flours...wish I knew more about it, but to answer your question, YES I worry about those types of things sometimes..Im a worry wart though! Sabrina

Hey guys..I noticed a thread on here that said something about the St Ives apricot scrub having gluten in it...WELL, I usually use that, but last time I bought exfoliator I saw the Equate (walmart) brand so bought that instead because it was a little cheaper. From what I can tell, the ingredients look safe. I dont have the bottle in front of me right now...

How can I get the testing done to determine if I carry the gene for celiac disease? I think Id like to do that if its not TOO expensive. Thanks Sabrina

Okay, stupid question #1- When you get tested for celiac via blood testing, will it also show up positive if you just have the gluten intolerance, and it hasnt escalated to celiac? #2- Well, there WAS a question 2, but apparantly I am having a brain fart right now and cant think of what it was. Maybe I will think of it later! Sabrina

I am also extremely tired ALL the time. Its really hard because I have two small children to take care of, and they are only 13 months apart! Also, the brain fog thing has been a BIG issue with me over the last few years. I couldnt even remember my youngest son's name the other day when I was showing a friend of mine pictures of my boys! Talk about embarrassing...

Yes, not knowing is definetly not fun. I am wondering why your doctor told you to go ahead and go gluten free before the testing. From what I understand, you shouldnt go gluten free until after your testing is finished because it can alter the test results...I would bring this up to him/her. Maybe someone else will chime in on this, but Im pretty sure that...

Another thought, dont you have to use milk to make all those things? Could you possibly have a problem with milk? Just throwing that out there... Sabrina

Its just so aggravating because I dont know what could be causing it..and even more aggravating that the stupid doctors office didnt bother to call me and tell me about it, so I still may be consuming, or still may be around whatever is causing the allergic response. I had to CALL them and get them to mail me my results because I had not heard anything. UGH...

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I was also having alot of neurological symptoms..I still havent been diagnosed with Celiac, but I have the symptoms, and plan to do more testing. I was seeing a neurologist before I got pregnant with my son, and he also almost diagnosed me with MS. Then, due to alot of different blood tests he ran, he said he wasnt convinced...

OK, I see. Well, I guess I better get whatever is causing it under control. I am actually on 2 daily prescription antihistimines, so I dont understand why my IgE is so high...I am also going to be seeing an immunologist next month, so maybe he can help...Only a few days back on gluten and already I am more irritable, and extremely gassy!! Also already getting...

Oh by the way...could it be possible that it was the gluten causing the allergic response, but not enough of it in my system to cause a postive celiac blood test?
