This is a bit of a information about me/explanation to the forum about one of my non celiac issues. Also a bit of an apology, to anyone I might offend or annoy.

I also have a form of Autism called Asperger Syndrome, and sometimes if not all the time I act a bit odd, respond in unique ways, or show a odd interest in things. I also tend to put odd perspectives, become a bit obsessed, and overlay misconceptions etc. Best way to describe my issue is if you have seen Big Bang Theory the American TV show. I am Sheldon, his character shows all the main characteristics of Asperger Syndrome but a bit exaggerated.  Feel free to do research on it if you wish.

This is just a bit of a explanation/PSA about quirks that might appear from me in ways I respond and interact with others. What brought this up is I recently was made aware that I unknowingly offended some people IRL in a group, and we had to sit down and go over this issue. You have to be BLUNT with me about my issues I do not notice them, and many times what seems completely normal from my perspective of interaction is not by most standards, I also do not pick up on ques and hints much, and take many things at face value and assume a lot. Just pull me aside and PM me if this happens here.

Just thought I would come about about this part of it

Try not to be too concerned. I am also in that group as are my adult children. Last nights BBT with Sheldon trying to decide on which game system to buy really hits home in a way that is much more humorous than was felt when dealing with it in reality.  It is the differnces in people that make the world more interesting. Embrace yours without apology.

The more people feel free to be who they are, the better, I say! Go forth and express whatever way you see fit. I like that you claimed your space.

I follow your content so your blunt style is not a deal breaker for me. Perhaps we all need a little Sheldon in our lives.

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
