My Vit D went from the low end of insufficient (on supplements for years) to the high end of sufficient (without any supplements at all) after just 6 months gluten free. My antibodies were all down to almost nothing as well. I was so happy that I wanted to frame that lab report!

I was just in to see my doctor today about a similar issue I'm having. Just over 2 weeks ago I suddenly started having GI symptoms and initially assumed an accidental glutening.,,,Then I started to worry thinking perhaps something else was going on b/c it seemed soooo long to still have symptoms. My doc assured me that it can take some people weeks...

Thank goodness! I thought it was just me!

I think if your labs are positive AND you know you feel better gluten-free, the single biopsy was simply not enough to provide an accurate diagnosis. My blood work was positive and 2 doctors diagnosed me with celiac disease. I was actually the one that insisted on pursuing an endoscopy. I was not happy that in the end he only took one biopsy though (and...

My understanding is the IgA deficiency will not change. It is what it is. BUT I'm certainly hoping that my overall health will improve as my gut heals and this will make me less "sickly".

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I read this and ran to check my cans of tuna again...they read gluten-free! They do contain soy though. Hope you feel better soon.

We tried them and my kids really liked them. Unfortunately, my store stopped carrying them for some reason.

Wow, look at the difference in your eyes alone!

I was thinking the same. The IgA tests in the celiac panel would not be accurate if your total IgA is low or deficient.

I keep crackers and protein bars in my car. And it has definitely come in handy at times!

I have anxiety with OCD also and have been gluten-free since November (other than accidental glutenings early on). I had really hoped that going gluten-free would relieve my anxiety symptoms but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. Its a terrible cycle for me of stress= anxiety-> insomnia-> exhaustion-> anxiety -> etc. I want to get off this...

Darn! Sorry I missed this. Weekends are crazy busy with my kids and all of their activities. I can't seem to access the transcript. When I click on the pdf link, I get a message that says I don't have permission to view it.

Type 2 is not autoimmune. Open Original Shared Link In rereading my earlier post, I see that my response was pretty unclear. What I was trying to say is that I am not sure if there is any connection between celiac disease (autoimmune) and Type 2 (not autoimmune). Sorry for the confusing post earlier Dealing with both diets together is...well...

Type 1 is autoimmune. Not sure about Type 2 and celiac disease. Are you sure you have Type 2? It's baffling but there are still a lot of doctors out there who mistakenly diagnose Type 2 simply because you are an adult at the time of diagnosis.

Or get a new pediatrician. I'm thinking about it but my options are limited and not necessarily better. This morning I was able to get the office to agree to test one of my kids (b/c she's always constipated) but I still have to fight for my other kids b/c they don't present with "symptoms". What a joke.
