ARCHIVED What To Do Now?
Lisa replied to angelschick's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/lofivers....php/t8494.html Here is another thread regarding low cholesterol. It's a bit dated (2005), but the information may be somewhat current. -
ARCHIVED What To Do Now?
Lisa replied to angelschick's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I do not think that there is a connection between high cholesterol and celiac diseasse. There may be a connection with a distressed liver. Gluten free processed food a often high in fat and can effect your cholesterol levels. What is your history of testing regarding Celiac If you have not already done so, a Celiac Panel with a return to the gltuen... -

Lisa replied to TiredofTums's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Linda, Hopefully you're on the right track. Glad to help. After the first of the year I will be starting a Support Group in my area. I am about an hour and fifteen minutes from you. So not so far.

It might be a good idea to retest a Celiac Blood Panel to make sure that you are not getting any hidden gluten into your diet. Refractory Sprue is indeed rare. It would not be unusual for someone to take up to a couple years to heal. And, also for some, an occassional glutening could set healing back for a good while. It's good that your doctor...

I was diagnosed through a biopsy before I knew anything about Celiac Disease. I have no personal experience with Enterolabs. I think it's a great letter! As a common discussion here, I look forward to Dr. Fine's response.

It's a lot to take in, trust me!!! We have members with different levels of sensitivity. In the beginning, a good thought is "if in doubt, don't". Keep your diet simple. And, add new things slowly and deliberately.

ARCHIVED Suspecting Celiacs
Lisa replied to RDuBb2k1's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello and Welcome! You might have an allergy to wheat and perhaps a gluten sensitivity. Celiac can be diagnosed by a Serologic Blood Panel: Antigliadin antibodies (AGA) both IrA and IgG Antiendomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA Total IgA level. Generally, a good test is a positive... -
ARCHIVED Just One Bite?
Lisa replied to bigbird16's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It's not the amount of gluten that makes you sick, it's the autoimmune reaction to the gluten which makes your body attack itself. -
The potential risks could be life threatening eventually. No, you won't die from a piece of cake or slice of pizza. If you are officially diagnosed with Celiac, it's an autoimmune disorder. It's not the amount of gluten that will hurt you, it the fact that the gluten make your body attack itself, thereby causing damage. You may not be symptomatic...

Just wanted to add that the Celiac Associations consider McD's fries and hashbrowns to be safe for Celiac to consume. The McD's website does indicate wheat, but the processing is said to eliminate the danger for Celiac. With that said, some do, some don't. I do. There is a number of previous thread regarding McD's French Fries and you can find...

ARCHIVED Made In A Facility With Wheat? And Kisses
Lisa replied to HopeMum's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
This is a personal choice. Some very sensitive celiacs may respond to the chance of possible cross contamination during the manufacturing process. Frito/Lay products mentioned here frequently, although some contain no gluten, many here react. On the other hand, it often is a CYA statement. Due to the fact that many companies do not have the resources... -
Well LynsiMarie, it's nice to meet you! And you most certainly DO have a full house. Let us know how your test come out!

Just a little note ....I think if you choose to use www.celiac.com in your letter, it might be best to get a "release" from Scott Adams, owner of the site. He has proprietary rights to the site.

Your brother might be busy with other preparations. Ask him how to reach the caterer and contact them yourself. Check and see if they can prepare a separate meal without gluten (au jus or seasonings) plain veggies or whatever is on the menu. It won't be as good, but it won't make you sick. I always feel better when I am not depending upon other interpretations...
