Thank you for your concern CyclingLady! Unfortunately my test was run through Genova and it did not include all of those different things, I think it just had the tTG IgA, the tTG IgG, and the total serum IgA, I think is what it was. It was through a ARNP in functional med and she assured me that those were all that were truly needed even though I had walked...

Thank you both Bartfull and Kareng-I will thoroughly read all of that info. I can't believe all of this stuff I never knew and just happily ate my way into being 30 lbs underweight and at risk of sudden death from a 6.4 hemoglobin. I am truly enjoying all this learning! Again, sorry to KBart for hijacking!

But what do you mean they don't work? Are you saying the foods that they tell you that you are sensitive to, you are not truly sensitive to? I get it that you guys don't believe in cross-reactivity, but I'm asking what is the root cause then of being intolerant of other things than gluten? I don't think you're being unfriendly but I think more elaboration...

Definitely sounds like Celiac to me, mind you I am a total newbie, but I have been doing COPIOUS research in the last couple months so know just enough to be dangerous. I would suggest finding a doctor or nurse practitioner who practices FUNCTIONAL medicine, they seem better versed in these matters and do better testing. I would also have your daughter get...

Thank you so much for the welcome bartfull! Yes I got the copy and all it says is celiac disease screen *9 ref range (0-19 -) and a million other things but none are like the iga type stuff so idk exactly what that screen was comprised of. I was eating full gluten for both tests, have never tried gluten-free. The very first blood test I did with that nurse...

I warn you this is going to be long so if you make it thru I soooo appreciate it! So my entire life I have been exhausted and always wanting to sleep and I always struggled with my weight and was anemic from an early age as well. When I say exhausted I mean extreme bone shattering I am going to fall over and I can fall asleep literally within 3 seconds anywhere...
