Does anybody have a recommendation for relieving sinus pressure? I am looking for a nasal spray, was going to try Flonase. I’m going to go look for a nedi pod but I was hoping to find a spray

If you want immediate relief pick up a spray that has real decongestant in it. Because addicts by them in quantities to distill the active ingredient from them for a high, you might not see them over the counter these days so you may have to ask for it.

The steroid nasal sprays like Flonase take two to three days to take effect, I believe.

Okay, thank you

If you have a Sam’s Club near you, they have Flonase and their own Member’s Mark brand that is much cheaper.

I use Nasacort 24 hr. I tried Flonase...but its scent actually triggered my allergies. I was told by a medical professional that Afrin can work short term.

you can develope a dependency on Afrin if you use it alot, that's why they say short term.

Flonase did the job, thank you all for your input.  I will keep Afrin in mind for next time though!

      Is Gliadin X recommended/safe for accidental glutening or where there is a risk of cross contamination? Or is there any other recommendation in such case? We travel alot to meet family and dine out as well. There is always risk of accidental glutening and cross contamination. Thanks.

      So, is their reasoning for doing another biopsy after you've been gluten free for awhile to get a comparison of before and after? In other words, there should be healing of the SB lining if you go gluten free for awhile if you have celiac disease?

      Welcome to the forum, @Tazzy11! Yes, your DGP-IGG test is positive. It means you could have celiac disease. But there are other possible causes for an elevated DGP-IGG count. I note that your TTG-IGA was not positive. The TTG-IGA is considered the chief celiac antibody test and a bit more reliable than the DGP-IGG. But let me ask you an important question. Prior to the blood draw, had you already begun to limit your intake of gluten? Also, were these the only two tests ordered to check for celiac disease? A physician should always order what we call the "total IGA" test (it goes by other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the scores for individual IGA celiac antibody tests, such as the TTG-IGA will be falsely low. By the way you spelled "coeliac" I judge you must be in the UK. There are several other antibody tests that can ordered when checking for celiac disease in order to get a more complete picture. Here is an article outlining the various tests:

      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. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.    Per this article: They will likely schedule an endoscopy to see if you have celiac disease, and for this they would want you to continue eating gluten daily until that test is completed.
