    Thanks, ciamarie, I'll check them out! And I like the blog, too . Yeah, maybe the low-carb is just for big weight loss? Hmmmmm.

    I recently read this book, and I'm wondering if others here have read it. Dr. Davis makes the case that no one should eat gluten, as it (specifically wheat) has been modified so much that it's not fit for consumption. It's totally believable, and worth checking out. Any thoughts from those who've read it?

    I think you made the right choice...I recently read the book "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis. He makes a case for the idea that no one should eat gluten. Check it out! I, too, was having issues w/diagnosis or not, and this book helped me. I decided that I would give up gluten even if I didn't have celiac, for my overall health.

    That's what I'm confused about...if you have the genes and symptoms, is that pretty much celiac? Or, can you have the genes and symptoms, but have it be non-celiac gluten intolerance? My gut says celiac, but I guess I'll never know...? Do doctors ever make clinical diagnoses of celiac?

    Just a note on Lyme disease tests...they are VERY OFTEN false negative - especially the ELISA (the basic Lyme titer they do initially). The only way to ensure an accurate Lyme test is to test through IgeneX in CA. I was negative twice on the basic test, and finally tested CDC positive through IGENEX. These types of antibody tests (like Celiac...

    Whelp, y'all were right - it wasn't enough ! Got the results back today - just said negative serology... I know I'm positive genetically, via stool tests for antibodies to gliadin & casein, and feel very sensitive to gluten. I could not handle the gluten challenge - too many other health issues to contend with. Is it a good bet to assume...

    "The cell walls of Candida, the yeast responsible for oral thrush, vaginal infections and intestinal Candidiasis, contain the same protein sequence as wheat gluten and may trigger or stimulate Celiac Disease." I know it's a stretch, but in light of this quote, it could be possible, right (for a positive test)? Could this explain why some people test...

    I came across this thread while googling "candida and celiac link." I have a question: If I was extremely gluten-light before my blood tests, but have been dx w/systemic candida, is there a chance that could make my blood tests positive? In other words, since the candida seems to cause the same reaction, would it show up on the blood test (I do believe...

    Called my dr. yesterday(whom I love, and who has Celiac himself). He told me to come in and get tested right away, so I did (through Prometheus). From what I've read, most people think that's not enough gluten. I guess if it's positive it'll be clear, and if it's negative, I'll have to re-evaluate. At this point, I don't think I'm up for a gluten...

    Hmmm that's a good point. This is a tough one. I feel like i want to take advantage of the fact that I've inadvertently been eating gluten, since i plan on going totally gluten-free asap.

    Thanks for the welcome & info! I think i'm just going to try for it, since I've met my deductible and I have been consuming some gluten (even though not too much). If it's negative, then i can decide if I want to try it again w/more gluten. If positive, voila!

    Hello! New here. Don't know too much about celiac, but do have Lyme and other health issues... My gut (no pun intended) tells me to get tested for celiac. I have been tested for the gene - positive. Also, I have tested positive for antibodies to gluten & dairy via DianosTechs stool testing (not sure if this is considered reliable). Anyway...
