Thank you Lisa. It's nice to hear someone that went through similar things. Maybe this at least will help me through the next two weeks. I feel the same about Fibromyalgia and testing. In fact, if 1 out of 100 people have Celiacs and it causes so many bad problems and it's curable, why not just test kids when they are born or young automatically? I so feel... -

Can anyone tell me what my numbers mean? The one positive test, is that a test that is usually positive in Celiacs? Am I just slightly elevated? Immunoglobulin A : 128 (normal, range 70-400) Gliadin IGA Deamidated: 2.1 (normal, <20) Transglutaminase IGA Autoabe: 20.8 (out of range <15.1) -

What in all of this makes you say I most likely have it? Are you basing this on the test results or the symptoms or both? Which more? Thanks! -

Thanks and good to know I should wait a year if I want to get pregnant again but I think that ship has sailed. We tried for the last 3 years and I'm turning 42 in a few weeks, my husband is 45. -
Hi, I am new to these boards and am looking for some advice. I have been doing the Amazing doctor race for over 25 years now and the best anyone can come up with is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Fibromyalgia. I have been battling this illness for over 25 years now and I just need something to end. About every few years I see a new doctor who wants to figure...
