It was as follows: "These were my first results by the GI doctor done in June: Prometheus Celiac Serology: TEST RESULT DGP IgG: + DGP IgA: - TTG IgA: - EMA IgA: + Summary Interpretation: Results support a diagnosis of celiac disease; serological markers for celiac disease detected... -
ARCHIVED Generic Singulair
amahones posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The FDA recently approved a generic version of Singulair (Open Original Shared Link). Singulair was gluten-free from what I understand but I'm trying to find out if the generic version that I have is.

I don't know how to describe my skin problems but I'm fairly certain they're eczema (looks like eczema, and has been diagnosed by many, many dermatologists as eczema.). I just looked at some pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis and it doesn't look like what I have. I have read that Celiac disease can be correlated to eczema... -

Hello, I'm new to this whole Celiac thing but have had stomach issues for almost my entire life. At 30, I've finally started to have them looked into. I had a Celiac blood work panel done by a GI doctor who was extremely unresponsive and won't explain anything to me. I do have an endoscopy scheduled with her for September, though. My PCP also tested...
