Thanks that makes me feel better, I am just overwhelmed at where to start because I guess it could be anything? I also just read an article saying strong probiotic in combination with digestive enzymes might help? Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi all, I posted before about this but I am getting worse... I am so painfully and horribly gassy! I cannot be in public places for fear of releasing an embarassing stream of gas.It is awful and painful and makes me want to cry. I have been getting small bouts of D as well. Up until about 3-4 weeks ago I was feeling a lot better being gluten free but...

Here's hoping bbdaily!! I really can't find any other things that would be causing this. Cross contamination is not an issue and I have cut out dairy. It seems to get worse as the day goes on too...

Hi, I have been on a strict Gluten free diet for about 10 weeks now and overall feel so much healthier and better! (YAY!) The only thing I have noticed in the past few weeks, is the terrible gurggling and gas(worse when I lie down or sit) I have been avoiding dairy and also got a food allergy test which showed no reaction to anything else (corn, eggs...

Well not really, I guess I was asking generally. I noticed a few things when checking labels. 1) Many labels say "contain soy and milk" for example so I am assuming that if it DID contain wheat it would say so. 2) What is the difference between this labeling and "gluten-free"? Are both labels safe?

Hi, I was comparing soup labels today and the some soups of the same brand will specifically say: CONTAINS WHEAT or CONTAINS SOY. After reading through a list of safe ingredients I assume it is safe if it does not also have the "CONTAINS WHEAT" disclaimer? Also, what if the same manufacturer has another soups that specifically says: GLUTEN FREE Is that...

Okay, I guess this goes back to my original question. How would I find the ranges used? Here is what the numbers look like: IgA - sensitivity 16.4 E.U .01 - 20.00 Then it goes on for each of the antibodies in this manner....is the range .01-20? I appreciate the help!

My test results are as follows (and true to doctor fashion, no one mentioned the need to be on a gluten-free diet prior to the test) IgA- 16.54 IgG- 17.29 AntitransglutiminaseIgA - 8.49 Immunoglobulin IgA - 121 Gliadin IgA - 12.0 Secretory IgA - 11.36 I do not have insurance and cannot afford a biopsy or more testing. When I am on a gluten-free...

IgA - 16.4 IgG - 17.29 Anti-transglutiminase Iga - 8.49 Immunoglobulin IgA 121 I wasn't sure how accurate this was since I was on a gluten-free diet beforehand. also have low ferritin levels which have not improved at all despite heavy supplementation. I do not have insurance and cannot afford a biopsy. However all of my GI symptoms (emergency bathroom...

I just got my tests back and was wondering how I figure out the reference ranges? Are they different in each lab? I got my numbers and the very last column says E.U and underneath is .01-20.00. Is this the range that was used? Thanks!
