Understood, and with any positive blood test the usual next step is a biopsy to confirm celiac disease, and this would be true even if the tTg-IgA is negative. -

ADA, if that applies to you, has specific procedures, guidelines, rules, and regulations for employers to accommodate employees with disabilities. Check with your company HR Dpt. As Scott has mentioned this would be a quick fix, with the protection afforded employees with disabilities through ADA there is no need for you to job hunt. Hope this helps. ... -

For someone with celiac disease who might have extreme villi damage the term "cross-reactivity" gets thrown around a lot. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an...

For someone with celiac disease who might have extreme villi damage the term "cross-reactivity" gets thrown around a lot. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. -
