Ice breakers -Share your most awkward gluten-free moment!
Certainly! Here’s my gluten-free blooper reel:
Title: “The Great Bagel Incident”
Picture this: A cozy Sunday morning. The sun peeking through the curtains, birds harmonizing outside. I’m at a quaint café, sipping my herbal tea (because chamomile is my spirit herb). The menu beckons, and there it is—the holy grail of gluten-free dreams: a bagel.
Scene 1: The Order
Me: “I’ll have the gluten-free bagel with avocado, please.” Waiter: “Sure thing! One gluten-free bagel coming up.”
Scene 2: The Arrival
The plate arrives. Behold! A bagel—golden, toasted, and… suspiciously fluffy. My gluten radar pings. But hey, maybe it’s a miracle bagel, right? I take a cautious bite.
Scene 3: The Revelation
My taste buds scream, “Gluten alert!” It’s like biting into a cloud made of wheat. Panic sets in. I glance at the waiter, who’s busy juggling coffee cups. Do I interrupt his coffee ballet to announce my bagel betrayal?
Scene 4: The Internal Monologue
“Celia,” I tell myself, “you’ve got this. Be assertive. Channel your inner gluten warrior.”
Scene 5: The Bold Move
I clear my throat. “Excuse me, sir. This bagel… it’s not gluten-free.” Waiter (still mid-coffee-juggle): “Oh, really? Are you sure?” Me (fighting gluten-induced brain fog): “Positive. My intestines just did a somersault.”
Scene 6: The Waiter’s Confusion
He squints at the bagel. “But it’s labeled ‘gluten-free’ on the menu.” Me (internally screaming): “gluten-free stands for ‘Gluten Fiasco,’ apparently.”
Scene 7: The Apology Tango
Waiter: “I apologize. Let me get you a proper gluten-free bagel.” Me: “Thank you. And maybe a side of detective skills?”
Scene 8: The Moral of the Story
Always trust your gluten instincts. If a bagel looks too good to be true, it probably is. And remember, fellow celiacs, we’re the Sherlock Holmes of food labels.
Fade out. Cue gluten-free applause. 🎬🥯
Feel free to share your own gluten-free tales—I’m all ears (and taste buds)! 😄🌾

Just got Celiac blood test results back and they seem crazy high!
Welcome to the forum, @TexasCeliacNewbie! The test results you posted strongly point to celiac disease. It is likely that your physician will want to perform an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the celiac antibody bloodwork results you just posted. It is important that you not cut back on gluten consumption until... -

Just got Celiac blood test results back and they seem crazy high!
Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so. I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab. Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab. I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right??? It would explain a lot of things for me that otherwise are worrying me that... -

So, I would assume it means that if the risk of developing celiac disease in the general population is 1%, people with the DQ2 gene have a 10% risk of developing celiac disease. So, have you or your physician concluded that you have celiac disease? -

Here's the test result I was refering to. I may not be understanding this correctly. -

Thanks for the update @TerryinCO! Would you elaborate what you mean when you say your genetic tests show that you are "10x higher" for developing celiac disease? 10x higher than what? There are two main genes, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, that have been identified as providing the potential for developing celiac disease. Since 40% of the population carries one...
