Hi all! I am a pretty newly diagnosed Celiac, Found out July 2nd. 

 

Are any of you in the Middle Georgia area, Like Warner robins, macon, area? I am looking to meet some gluten free friends! I have only met two other celiacs so far and they live very far away. It would be nice to chat it up with you guys and make some friends that know what I am going through and can give me some advice! 

 

Excited to see if any of you live nearby!!

Hello Kayla!  I was diagnosed a few months ago.  I am in WR!  I have been looking to meet up with other celiacs in the area but until now have had no luck finding a group or even a person.  I was excited to see your post!  Thank you Google search! lol  It would be SO nice to have someone local to talk to who 'gets' it.  To be able to share new gluten-free finds/recipes, share the excitement of good days and complain about the bad things...would be amazing!  I have great support from my husband, but its just not the same thing.

 

Hope to hear from you soon!

Omg!! Dayla! SO hope you get this! I never got notified of your response on here, just logged in today and finally saw it! Hope you are still wanting to meet up! And hope your recovery from celiac damage is going as well as it can be! I would love if you and I could get a meetup group started in the area or something! I am making it my goal to get a group like this in the area up and running, not just for us Celiacs but also for others with food intolerances, food allergies and other autoimmune diseases. Hope to hear from you soon! And sorry that it took so long for me to reply!

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:
