Since I am in the process of learning new things, I am opting to learn a programing language. I am toying with  C++ or  Python much later but to get a basic understanding of loops and such I am opting to learn from a book called php,javascript and mysql. Anyone on here have scripting or coding experience? I already know HTML, and I am looking to  move from desktop support to coding. Any advice from those who are experienced in this your help is appreciated greatly.

I don't have any helpful advice, and know nothing about coding or programing or any of that. But this year I made a resolution to better myself in some way. My husband got my kitchen knives for Christmas and I have spent some time watching videos and reading, trying to learn to use them more appropriately. I picked up a gardening/farming book at the library so my husband and I can attempt to be better with our garden and get new ideas for next year. I have also decided to finally stop making excuses and attempt to learn German. So good for you! Best of luck in your journey. I think we should all continue to strive to improve ourselves, even in small ways.

I did some programming but that was years ago and I forgot most of it.  I think if you learn Basic you can get most of the concepts from any language.  Although Java and and some other languages include instances and such that are used in newer Windows type operating systems that I am not sure they have in Basic.  So maybe Java would be a better introductory language.  Basic is just more "Englishy" though so it's better for beginners to learn on.

      Awaiting diagnosis

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
