Hi all, Celiac disease has been on my radar for a couple of years, and I have a new symptom I'd really appreciate opinions on. :) Sorry for the long back story! I'm maybe a little bit venting, but also the context is kind of important! The context - I was diagnosed with Sjogren's (another autoimmune disease) a few years ago based on fatigue, migraines...

Hi again! Just had some testing. Am a little confused and would appreciate input. My lab results were basically negative (deamidated gliadin abs, iga was one point above the reference range, everything else normal), but I had only been eating gluten again for 4 weeks after my doctor drew them after 2 months gluten free.

Hi Karag, I think it's awesome that you're being so proactive about your daughter's health.

Hi! This is my first post here. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. I'm in the diagnostic process for Sjogren's, which my rheumatologist is very sure that I have even though my dryness symptoms are very mild. (I am positive for SSA, the autoantibody associated with Sjogren's.) The symptoms I initially went to my GP with are...
