    Okay, so I'm answering my own question here -- I just found this on the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness site: Does having non-celiac gluten sensitivity increase your risk of developing other autoimmune disorders?' Dr. Leffler: We don’t know 100%, but I would say that the fact that it doesn’t appear to share the genetic predisposition for...

    Thanks, Maureen. I appreciate your input. I know we're all on our own gluten-free journeys, but so much of our stories overlap, and it helps to hear from others fighting some of the same battles. I've looked at Dr. Osborne's site -- he's in the Houston area, as am I. I'm struggling enough at the moment with avoiding gluten, dairy, and soy. Once I've...

    I'm really frustrated with how, after doing a search and reading the first thread, I can't go back to the search results and continue. is there a way to do this? When I use the back feature on my browser, it doesn't go back there. Help!!

    Just curious: I've seen a lot of information about the connection between celiac disease and other autoimmune diseases. But I was wondering if there is also a connection between non-celiac gluten intolerance (NCGI) and autoimmune diseases? It's difficult to research this via search engines. Does anyone know?

    I really don't know about the complications of having two copies of the DQ2 gene, but can imagine they could be serious. I'm SO glad you have learned this while she's still so young. She's a very lucky little girl to have a mommy that is staying on top of these things and caring so well for her and the rest of her family. Tough question about what to...

    I agree ... Treatment is the same. I've already noticed that my reaction to gluten is more severe than before I stopped eating it. At least, I assume it was gluten cross contamination. No more eating out for me for awhile! It would be nice to know for certain if I actually have celiac disease. But, as I said earlier, I'm not going back on gluten. ...

    Thanks, Diana, I intend to! I'd like to ask another question. Does the fat malabsorption in the severe range mean that there is villous atrophy/damage? If so, wouldn't this be enough in itself for a diagnosis as long as the malabsorption isn't caused by something else?

    Hi all: I've been lurking here for about a month and finally decided to post. Thinking I may have a problem with gluten sensitivity, I did the Enterolab "poop" test (really gross, but had quite the laugh in the car on the way to UPS, wondering if they would ask me if I wanted to insure the contents! ). Here are my results: Fecal Anti-gliadin...
