ARCHIVED I Don't Understand My Blood Test Results Help!

Ok, I just want to make sure I understand what you are saying. If my Immunoglobulin A result was not high, then the test would have been inconclusive? -
ARCHIVED I Don't Understand My Blood Test Results Help!

I wasn't gluten-free leading up to my test. I was tested 3 months ago and my doctor says that the high Immunoglobulin A test result indicates a gluten intolerance.

ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Lite Beer
jjbrigade replied to jjbrigade's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have tried ciders and I am fine with those. I've had omission, and I don't remember any issues with that either, other than the fact that I didn't like the taste. Now when I drink I just go for mixed drinks. Most rum is gluten-free and I haven't had any issues with that. -
I am having the same problem. I can't figure out if I'm just eating something wrong, or if it's due to cross contamination.

Yes, I have tried the New Planet. It is better than most, but still not like a "light" beer. I honestly don't think there is such a thing out there! I tried New Grist, which I think is the closest thing I have been able to find to a light beer. I may just have to go with that until someone starts making new ones. Gluten free foods/beverages are getting to... -

I've been reading all about these test results and I don't understand what I have. There seems to be different wording for some of the tests and I don't understand my results. I know one is high, but does that mean I've got Celiac Disease, or just a gluten intolerance Do I need to get the biopsy done? I've been gluten-free for 3 months now, would I need... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Lite Beer
jjbrigade posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello everyone. I'm new to this site and newly gluten-free. I have been trying different types of beers to see if I can find one that tastes like Bud Lite or similar brands. I don't like dark beers, and I was hoping there was a beer that tasted closer to a lite beer. I have tried Redbridge, but it has an odd flavor to me. I've had ciders, but I'm sick of...
