Does anyone know of some celiac friendly restraunts in Destin ?? I will be down there for several days and would prefer to not have to cook every night. Does anyone here have any positive (or negative) experiences at any restraunts in that area??? Any help would be appreciated!! (Notice I said Celiac friendly- I have learned that just because a restraunt...

Thank you for the help!

Just got my numbers sent to me. The number is 1:40. I am not sure what that means...?

Thanks! I have an appointment tomorrow to have some blood work done. Hopefully I will get some answers

Ok, So I just got an actual lab report sent to me. ANA Reflex says POSITIVE A. ANA Titer says 1:40. ANA pattern says SPECKLED. From the research I have done, (which may or may not be accurate) a titer of 1:40 does not seem extremely positive. But I am not sure why it says POSITIVE A in big bold letters beside ANA Reflex? Everything else says negative, so...

No I do not know what my ANA number was. It just said positive. Not sure what that means. It says that my ANA pattern is speckled. Not sure what that means either

I found out a few months ago that I have celiac. All of my blood tests were extremely positive. I also had a positive Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test. Could anyone possibly know what this means? Could that test be positive because of Celiac? Or would it mean that I could possibly have a totally different autoimmune disease? My doctor isn't much help...

I was dx with celiac 6 weeks ago, and I have my first family fathering since diagnoses tonite and am super scared...So far, no one has really taken my dx seriously. (this is not the same side of the fam that I inherited the celiac gene from, so I am the only one on this side who has it) I am worried that they are just going to think that I am paranoid...

It does sound like you have symptoms of celiac. I would get tested. A blood test can change your life. But it is really up to you. Many people on here are unofficially diagnosed and do extremely well with a gluten free diet. However, just KNOWING is kind of nice, and would probably make it much easier to stick to the strict diet in the long run. If you do...

thanks, that is a good idea

My brother has a milk allergy. He can use the same cookware as others, as long as it has been washed. And he is pretty darn sensitive. He has had severe emergency reactions before. He cant touch milk or smell anything with milk in it. But the cookware thing is no issue for him. However, I am no expert-Im just saying what I know from his experience. I would...

I didn't get the endo and biopsy. My blood test results were enough for me. Sometime I wonder exactly how much damage there is in there..but I do not wonder enough to get the endo done lol It is up to you. Chances are, if their blood test results were positive, they have celiac. ESPECIALLY since you have a family history

Im a righty

Oh, and one mroe thing I forgot to mention....Whenever I start feeling faint and lightheaded, I start shaking all over.... This isnt an everyday thing. It probably happens 50 percent of the time. Yesterday, for example, I was fine. The day before...not so much But there is a pattern...the days where I am extremely thirsty and going to the bathroom...

That is horrible! I am so sorry about your bad experience! Rest well and get better
