I am a Registered Dietitian who was diagnosed with celiac at the age of 58, (1 year and 4 months ago). At the time, my GI doc informed me that the TTG was 250+ which he said could be in the thousands. One year after diagnosis, my TTG was down to 114.5. (Disappointing because I am very strict and have NEVER eaten anything knowingly with gluten since diagnosis.) I waited another 4 months and repeated with a result of 109.2. (devastated.) I eat whole foods. Has anyone else had this much difficulty reducing TTG on a strict gluten-free regimen?
