Wall Street Journal Article

First of all, I can't tell you a date of the article because a friend mailed it to me and no date was included.

"Choices Grow for Wheat-Free Diets"

It included Wal-mart and Whole Foods Market that through popular demand, companies are scrambling to redesign their foods for the gluten free market. It also quotes Scott as saying the people with Celiac Disease are bombarding company with questions about gluten. It also states that Celiac support groups now have 95,000 member, up from 40,000 in 2003.

Other non-celiacs are also choosing this diet because they feel it is healthier for them. The FDA isn't required to come up with a rule defining "gluten free" until 2008 under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act.

Slow, but progress. It would not hurt to have 95,000 people write their Congressman/woman and Senators and let them know how you feel.

Keep calling companies :)

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
