    I think I might have gotten gluten from the molding agent when they took the impression for my crown. I'm not 100% positive since I didn't see the label for that one, but I had the weird rumblings in my stomach after that visit. Other than that, no other gluten. I have had multiple reactions to other chemical materials used in crowns and composite fillings...

    welcome aehills01 I'm so glad you were able to figure out what was going on with your daughter! ok don't take this the wrong way because I am far from perfect and don't want to sound self-righteous, but as a parent you have the chance to influence your children's lives every day. that is an awesome opportunity, and I'm guessing your daughter wouldn...

    just curious Irish, what age level and subject did you teach? You can only redirect and help so many times before it becomes a lost cause. sometimes students and people come around, sometimes they don't that's been a hard lesson for me to learn, but such is life

    here's a good Pub Med Abstract regarding AGA (they list it as antibodies against native gliadin) vs DGP: Open Original Shared Link that's frustrating that they won't test your total igA why don't doctors know if they use ttg iga they have to measure the total iga to make sure it's valid...argh any chance that you take any type of PPI or acid suppressing...

    my anxiety has gotten much better going gluten free! I think it's smart to ask for another blood test, but when you do, insist on a complete celiac panel if it has not already been done. that consists of: DGP iga/igg TTG iga/igg EMA total iga serum-this is a control test that makes sure enough iga is produced to validate the other iga results ...

    just reposting what I did on your other topic: Welcome! get a complete celiac blood test panel done. that consists of: DGP iga/igg TTG iga/igg EMA Total iga serum-this is a control test to make sure you are not iga deficient, and if you aren't it will validate the other iga results good luck! Edit: Ditto to what 1desperatelysavelady...

    hi susan, I know you've got a lot happening right now, but I would highly recommend this book in the future: Open Original Shared Link hmmm with acid reflux, I was told to avoid NSAIDs. if meloxican is an NSAID, and now he is on Prilosec, did he have stomach pain/reflux before the meloxican or was it brought on by that? Just curious

    geez this is turning out to be quite a process it bothers me when I can't figure something out, and I don't know why it isn't linking... Ok anyway onto the point: This is a screening test of only Deamidated Gliadin Antibodies, but in the "additional information" for this screen it states the following: A negative IgA result in an untreated patient...

    I can't get it to link correctly, so Plan B if you're interested to see what I'm griping about when you get to the search box put in Gliadin Antibody Profile, IgA, IgG, EIA Edit: If I completely sign-out of my account and close my browser, and then open the browser again as a guest, the first time I click on it the link it brings me to a search...

    little bit of a rant... ok so as I continue to research everything, I now have a good grasp on the difference between DGP and AGA and what they do and measure. One of the first things I read was this page by Dr. Rodney Ford: Open Original Shared Link he lays things out in easy to understand terms that I truly do appreciate I have to use LabCorp...

    this is a great thought! I am working on getting my food in check. yes, I need to eat at regular intervals, and I need to put good fuel in my body, but I hate it when it makes people uncomfortable if I don't want to eat. Listen, I'm not going to starve. As long as I have water, I'll make it for awhile. I tend to be an over-sharer at times i've...
  15. powerofpositivethinking
    so happy that you're getting answers!! i'd say those look like pretty positive results good luck, and I hope they are able to get her in sooner!

    I'm not sure what GIG and RIGA are, but if the endometrial is positive, I'm guessing that means antiendomysial antibodies or EMA iga. If your son's immunoglobulin is normal, I'm guessing that means his iga. If this is the case and that level is normal, that validates the EMA test. The EMA test is 98-100 specific to celiac. see pg. 12 of this report: Open...

    i got these pretty tasty Vitamin D tablets from Bluebonnet Open Original Shared Link would that help you remember to take them
  18. powerofpositivethinking
    welcome based on what you wrote, I think you should definitely get yourself tested! remember for testing to be valid, you MUST continue to eat gluten until all testing is complete. first you should request a complete celiac panel, which consists of: DGP iga/igg ttg iga/igg EMA Total iga serum-this is a control test to make sure you produce enough...
  19. powerofpositivethinking
    sounds like a good step to get those results if it was a few years back, it's possible you did not get screened with the newer DGP iga/igg antibody tests I would ask for a full celiac panel, which consists of: DGP iga/igg ttg iga/igg EMA total iga serum-this is a control test to make sure you produce enough antibodies for the iga testing to...

    i'm one of those people who has always washed my hands...all. the. time. pre-gluten free, and even more gluten free. YUCK is right
  21. powerofpositivethinking
    i'll have to take a look at that. thanks!
  22. powerofpositivethinking
    hmm that seems suspicious. especially if this was noticed visually without use of a biopsy because a lot of times it seems villi changes can only been seen through biopsy samples. did you get the full celiac blood panel? if so, what were your results? make sure you always ask for copies of your test results if you don't do so already
  23. powerofpositivethinking
    can you go back and ask for a full celiac panel? that consists of: dgp iga/igg ttg iga-already run ttg igg EMA-already run Total iga serum-already run good luck, and let us know if you have any other questions!
  24. powerofpositivethinking
    welcome you've come to the right place for questions and support! from what I gather, you have your follow-up tomorrow, so that is great! Please get a copy of ALL test results, and then if you'd like specific help, feel free to post them here. I'm going to guess that the test your daughter had run was the ttg iga. a comprehensive celiac panel...

    i have an idea for an upgrade in the future thanks for your replies, Peter and Irish!
