    Butter and fresh tarragon were once my go-to dressing for carrots, but my flaring sweet tooth recently pulled me in a slightly different direction.

    Ingredients:
    1 pound carrots cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    ½ cup freshly chopped parsley
    Pepper to taste
    Directions:
    Salt a medium pot of boiling water and cook carrots for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp and drain.
    Add carrots to a medium saucepan and heat with syrup, butter, and lemon juice.
    Cook until carrots are well-coated, about another 5 minutes. Season with ...

      Does Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endos

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      I think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet). think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and...
