Wow, such good and practical advice. Thank you! I'll call the ped GI, and look for local support groups. An action plan is so helpful!

It was the TTG IgA. And she sent out to Mayo Clinic for a Celiac Cascade, so, I'm not sure what all that tests. I saw the TTG IgA on my chart online, but she emailed me about the genes. She is a good PCP, but it may be good to find a GI more knowledgeable. I live rurally, and healthcare is kind of a crapshoot. The only specialist on the celiac.org finder...

See next comment.

This jazz is so befuddling! So, my doctor did several tests. She says I have both genes for Celiac. But my IgA is <1.2. My Ferritin is low (an 8). My other numbers are okay...though I am on good supplements for Vit D and B12, b/c of prior low tests for them. She says my options at this point are to go to a GI, or go gluten free. I have many gastro problems...
