Frustrated on the beach

Hello all I'm ranting here ?

Gluten Sensitivity is becoming worse as I age.  My initial diagnosis was borderline GS in 2014. At the time the food industry was totally unaware of gluten-free labeling or even cared. Now food chairs are labeling gluten-free but not all are actually gluten-free. I try to shop the gluten-free Logo but food items are very limited. I'm unable to tolerate gluten-free breads and Glutino Products. I'm frustrated and menu planning is a challenge. The cauliflower pizza crust can be problematic. Almond products are starting to bother my as well. Unless I eat a totally clean diet plain food Meat veggies and fruit very little dairy nuts are not an option. I just don't know were to turn.

Maybe you should listen to your body.  It seems to like meat, veggies, fruit and a little dairy.   Boring?  Maybe.  But feeling good trumps feeling bad on a traditional American diet.  

My diet is about as restrictive as yours.  But I can tell you that I am feeling really good.  No gluten exposures for almost two years.  My other autoimmune disorders are in remission. I am riding the crest of the wave and loving it.  

Hang in there!  Enjoy the beach.  I am riding my bike there tomorrow.  ?‍♀️

I am going through a bad bought myself and my stomach is only putting up with fish, lean soft cooked meats, eggs, turkey, and I am fine with nut milks or nut butters but not my normal nut based baked goods. >.< I also can not stomach veggies or spices right now.

Find what you body wants and eat that for now, just try to balance the nutrients if you or find a safe multivitamin.

I am having to make liver jerky for my vitamins and drink broths made by boiling veggies since I can not handle them right now.

I am in the same boat.  Lots of food sensitivities but I can eat fruit , most vegetables and meat which I enjoy.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?
    • jlp1999
      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
