IGG Test Question
MommyBunny replied to MommyBunny's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks! I've read through the DH section already, especially right after my first breakout in late 2016. Still figuring things out, but our house is relatively gluten-free. I used to be a chef, so I'm extra careful with cross-contamination. And you're right on the sensitivity. If something says "may contain gluten", I can and will react to it. One slip... -

Greetings! I went gluten-free because I went on the Atkins diet.

I lost weight, and felt good, even energized. Then, I drank a glass of alcohol. I wound...
