Handy Gluten-Free Foods to Take Along When Traveling
NeedAVacation2 commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Travel
We travel with those sealed pouches of tuna or salmon (flavored or unflavored). They don't take up much room, and they provide a heartier addition to the above mentioned snacks. You do need some kind of utensil, but it's not hard to find a plastic fork if you don't have one on you. -
ARCHIVED Help Interpreting Child #2's Blood Test Results
NeedAVacation2 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi again. I'm back with my younger daughter's blood test results. (I started a post a few weeks ago about our older daughter who had very positive blood test results but a negative biopsy and negative results for the DQ2 & DQ8 genes). We decided to go ahead and ask the pediatrician to do a Celiac panel since our house is quickly becoming gluten-free... -
ARCHIVED Postive Blood Test, Negative Biopsy And Genetic
NeedAVacation2 replied to NeedAVacation2's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The thyroid tests are the TSH and T4, correct? If so, her ped. tested those and both came back in the normal range, though on the low end of the normal scale.

Thanks for all the quick responses. She is going to call to try to get copies of her test results so she can compare and have them for her medical records. We were not given numbers, but I got the impression from the pediatrician that the first blood test came back solidly above normal. I was told there was no question. This most recent one was "just slightly... -
ARCHIVED Postive Blood Test, Negative Biopsy And Genetic
NeedAVacation2 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello. This is my first post though I've read a few before registering. We are baffled by my daughter's test results and getting quite frustrated. She's 19, and after getting very ill last semester, her doctor ran a bunch of tests. The only one that came back positive was for Celiac. I don't have the numbers, but apparently it was convincingly high ...
