  1. Mrs. M.
    Thank you all very much for your responses to my questions. It is helpful to know that I am not way off track here. I will hope for a useful conversation tomorrow with the GI doc.

    In February of this year I was "diagnosed" with Celiac disease based on a positive ttG IgG. My doctor said this result was enough to make her convinced I had celiac disease and she said I should start on a gluten-free diet, which I did. I have been following a gluten-free diet for the past 8 months, and have not intentionally eaten any gluten, although I...

    Thank you. Kimball is the lab I spoke with. I like them because they have certified genetic counselors and I know I can trust their results and quality of service. I just don't think my husband will fork out that kind of money for a test he doesn't understand (and a disease he doesn't understand). I will check out the My Celiac ID as well. You might want...

    I am looking for recommendations for laboratories that do diagnostic genetic testing for celiac disease. My doctor says I have celiac disease based on a (slightly) high TTG-IgG. I have been gluten-free for a couple months and feeling a little better but never had severe symptoms. I am interested in genetic testing for two reasons: (1) to lend support...

    they were corn tortillas (I know enough to request them instead of flour)... but afterward I realized the tortilla chips could have been contaminated if the restaurant also makes tostada shells.

    Hi- I am relatively new to the world of celiac disease (diagnosed 2 months ago and following gluten-free diet since then). Yesterday I had significant stomach cramping starting in the early afternoon and I am trying to figure out what I ate that caused the problem. I think all of my food yesterday was safe, so I am wondering whether this could have been...

    I have been following a gluten-free diet for about 6 weeks, after learning that I have (mild) celiac disease. Right away after starting the diet, I felt much better (no bloating/discomfort after eating). But lately I feel like I have more bloating again--hard to tell whether it is as much as before, and it comes and goes. I never had severe digestive symptoms...

    I started on a gluten-free diet last month, after being diagnosed with celiac disease. I have had Raynaud's syndrome for years. I know the two can be connected, but I am surprised (not happily) that my Raynaud's symptoms seem much worse ever since I started the gluten-free diet. I know it is winter but our weather is very mild. I am now getting white fingertips...

    I just noticed on the labels of all my gluten-free flours and xantham gum that they should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Is this necessary if I use up the flour relatively quickly? The bags of flour are all so small that it seems like it will be easy to go through them pretty fast. We have a cool pantry and our house stays pretty cool all year...

    Thank you for the advice. This fits with what I am thinking.

    I was diagnosed with celiac disease a few weeks ago. I have mild symptoms consistent with celiac, and positive lab results. I am concerned about the risk to my kids, which I understand is empirically 10%. My oldest daughter, who is 8, just got tested. Her lab results (TTG IgA and IgG) were normal. This is the only testing recommended by her pediatrician....

    Hi- I am new to the gluten free diet. I am eating a lot of rice (and enjoying it) and my friends are suggesting that I get a rice cooker to make it easier to prepare. Meanwhile, my husband wants to get a pressure cooker (unrelated to my gluten issue). I would like to have as few appliances as possible. Can I use the pressure cooker for rice, or would I be...

    I was diagnosed with celiac disease a couple weeks ago. I have been reading about this condition and trying to figure out whether my 8-year old daughter might have it too. She has frequent stomach aches and also has a very itchy rash on her elbows and knees. She has complained of itchy knees for the past year. The rash is red and bumpy. I have always thought...

    I am new to this forum and am looking for help with my recent lab results. My doctor tells me I have celiac disease based on two blood results (that's all that was done): TTG IgA: normal TTG IgG 1.41 (standard <0.9) One of my questions (apart from the bigger question of whether I really have celiac disease (see my first post) is whether this...

    Hi- I am brand new to this group. I recently had a blood test for gluten intolerance and the results came back as follows: tissue transglutinaminase IgA 0.41 (standard <0.90) tissue transglutinaminase IgG 1.41 (standard <0.90) I asked my doctor what this meant and the reply was: you have celiac disease. You should start a gluten-free diet now...
