Hold onto your hats! Here goes . . . .

I love that I have met some of the greatest people I know on this forum, and that they have become my friends.

I love that those friends are so supportive, so kind, so thoughtful, and that when they say they know what I'm going through, they REALLY know what I'm going through

I love my husband -- he is the most amazing man. He is the greatest.

I love my kids -- and my future son-in-law. They are loving, supportive (especially my son) and just as goofy as me.

I love my Mom & Dad -- they're just the greatest. I love it that they care enough about me to cry when they see me walk like I do.

I love my sister -- she knows me like no one else does. She also knows how to manipulate my kids better than anybody and she gets them to do the things I can't!!!!!!! :lol:

I love my brother-in-law -- when he, my husband, my son, my dad and now my future son-in-law get together, I laugh until my stomach hurts.

I love my nephews -- they are cute and funny and silly and SOOOOO loving.

I love the way my oldest nephew (age 10) gives hugs -- he gives full-out hugs that let you know he really loves you.

I love my grandmother -- she's 100 years old, and she still goes to the Bingo 3 nights a week, and goes to the gambling boat once a week and stays out until 4 or 5 in the morning!

I love my little Destiny -- she is the greatest little laid-back poodle!

I love our bigger dog Lucky -- he is REALLY protective of me.

I love my flower gardens. They are beautiful and have already started attracting the most beautiful butterflies.

I love that I have so much support navigating my new life.

I love that I can write about things that I love now. Thank you all.

Love, Lynne

I love it when I can wake up in the morning and know that I have another day with my wife and children. Another day to go to work, to breath in the Spring air, another day to .... live!!!

I truly thought I was going to die last year. Many of my colleagues, friends and family felt this way as well. Heck, I was actually starting to prepare for it to happen...but that's another story for another thread.

I stumbled upon the gluten free diet...in fact my wife suggested it, completely out of nowhere, and it worked! So, I also love the gluten free diet!!!!!!!!!1

I love that I'm now healthy enough to go out golfing with my hubby and this beautiful spring day.

I love it when we both have a good game, but can laugh at ourselves when we don't.

I love it when someone else loves to cook, and I don't have too :lol: Any of you cooks want to move close to me????

I love that all the spring birds are back and singing their beautiful songs.

I love when Sheba chases a jay and it sits on the post and scolds her.

I love that we made supper early this morning and put it in the crock pot before we went golfing :P

Yup......... I think that I really love life too! :rolleyes:

      Did you have any celiac antibody blood tests? Or just the gastroscopy/biopsy?

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      So a bit of background. Nearly four years ago, I began experiencing intermittent stomach issues, including cramping and constipation. However, what concerned me most was the significant weight loss. Despite being active, the rate at which I was losing weight prompted me to seek medical attention. Prior to noticing the weight loss, I weighed 165 lbs (74.8 kg), but over time, I dropped to 120 lbs (54.4 kg). After consulting with my doctor, she suggested the possibility of celiac disease or gluten intolerance. She referred me for a gastroscopy, and while the biopsy did not confirm celiac disease, the specialist concluded that it was likely the cause. Following the diagnosis, I adopted a gluten-free diet. Initially, I occasionally indulged in foods containing wheat, such as take-out, but my decision to commit fully to a gluten-free lifestyle was prompted by a particularly severe reaction after eating pizza. I experienced chest pains, migraines, shooting pains throughout my body, and severe stomach cramping and constipation. Since then, I adhered to a strict gluten-free diet for over three years, avoiding even trace amounts of gluten. Despite this, I continued to experience ongoing stomach issues and was unable to regain the weight I had lost. A few months ago, I unknowingly consumed wheat after purchasing a jar of mustard that contained wheat flour—an ingredient I had not previously needed to check. Halfway through my meal, I noticed hives on my arm. Though the hives resolved after about 20 minutes and the stomach discomfort subsided shortly after, I reflected on the fact that hives had never been part of my previous symptoms. This led me to reconsider my diagnosis. This incident raised the possibility that my symptoms might not be related to celiac disease but could instead be due to a classic wheat allergy. To investigate further, I began experimenting with foods containing barley, which I consumed without any noticeable symptoms. I then tried soup with actual barley, with no adverse reaction. This suggested to me that wheat, specifically, might be the problem rather than gluten or barley. Encouraged by these results, I tested myself with small amounts of products containing wheat flour and starch, including an entire pop-tart and crackers, and experienced no issues. It's been days since, and I have been eating some wheat products, still with no issues. However, I am still uncertain whether this means that even though I am not experiencing any symptoms, I may still be causing harm to my GI. I will be consulting with a doctor to undergo allergy testing, but I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice from others who may have experienced similar situations. How should I proceed from here?

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By trents · Posted

      Well, I strongly disagree that it was a comprehensive celiac disease panel. In addition to the tTG-IGA and the Immunoglobulin A, a comprehensive celiac panel would have included DGP-IGA, DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG. What he ordered was the most popular celiac antibody test available (and perhaps the best one), the tTG-IGA and he also, to his credit, ordered the Immunoglobulin A (aka, "total IGA"). The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test per se but is used to check for IGA deficiency. IGA deficiency can distort IGA test results for individual IGA test scores downward and create false negatives. You are not IGA deficient so that is not a problem in your case. Here is an article giving an overview of celiac antibody testing:
