I was diagnosed with celiac disease and lymphocytic colitis almost two years ago. This is the first time I am using this site. Are there any support groups in Gainesville, FL or nearby? Sure appreciate any ideas. Thank you.

Thank you for your response and for the information, Feeneyja. 

This is my first day blogging on this site. I have a  lot to learn about how to navigate this site.

I just happened to notice that my topic was approved and saw that you responded. I didn't get an email notification. What do I need to do to set up notification when someone responds? I just added myself as a follower to this blog because I didn't know what else to do. Can you help me out with this, please?

Go to your profile (by clicking your picture) .  wait... be right back

 

Had to go try it - go to top right of any screen & see your name.  Click the little arrow next to it.  Then account setting then notification settings.  You can also choose to "follow" a discussion by clicking the "flower" in a circle next to the title.  But you set how you want to be notifies in your profile account settings

      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?

      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:
