    Thanks for posting this, nasalady. Interesting quote - "For the first time, researchers found an increased risk of autism spectrum disorders in children whose mothers have celiac disease, a digestive condition in which people cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Autism spectrum disorders include a range of neurological...

    It depends on the reference range listed on your lab sheet. However, my guess would be if you are 118 then you are not deficient.

    The Celiac Survival Guide ( Open Original Shared Link ) from The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (www.celiaccentral.org) is a great resource. Also, great information from the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) on getting started can be found here: Open Original Shared Link Information on reading labels, safe foods, etc: Unsafe ingredients:...

    There are two genes that have been highly associated with Celiac - HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. Of diagnosed Celiacs,95-98% have one or both of the genes. However, about 30-40% of Americans have one of both of the genes. Best estimates are that 1 in 133 (just less than 1%) of Americans have Celiac. So, having the gene does not equal having Celiac. But, if...

    The good news is your doctor ran the full panel, so you were as thoroughly evaluated (via bloodwork). You are not IgA deficient, which increases the accuracy of your IgA based tests. Keep in mind: -some people with Celiac do not test positive on the bloodwork, and only test positive on the biopsy -some people have a problem with gluten that does not...

    If you aren't interested in adding things (with any flour blend), then you may be interested in mixes.

    The website has a recipe for everything you could imagine, using that flour. Click on Recipes.

    Most people do fine with the gluten free flours. Some find that they prefer some over another, and some cannot tolerate certain grains. www.betterbatter.org has a versatile gluten free flour, and The Gluten Free Pantry has many great mixes.

    Do you have your pathology report from your biopsy? It may be helpful to find out the reference range from your lab for the tTG.
