      For those of you who have had celiac for a long time what do your IGA and TTG IGA Levels usually show on follow up blood work ? 
    • thejayland10
      Hello Everyone,   I used to be a lot less strict with my gluten-free diet. I have always eaten gluten-free but never only got gluten-free-certified or labeled products but the last few years I have been taking it a lot more seriously and only eat at dedicated gluten-free restraunts or things labeled gluten-free.     A recent blood test of mine showed slightly elevated IGA and TTG IGA but negative Endomysial Antibody which my doctor said is likely pointing to cross contact. I have no clue how this could be happening and I am trying to be super super careful now.   For example I used to always get Kroger frozen chicken which says gluten free on the package but when I reach out to kroger they have no idea and they said in the processing plant the clean the area after each batch but its not dedicated gluten-free facility.  Could processed gluten-free foods or even meats I am getting be making my levels appear slightly over the normal causing damage?     I am meeting with a dietician soon but curious on anyone insights or brand recommendations for meats especially

      Try DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam for curls, Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse for long-lasting body, or Aveda Phomollient for a soft, natural lift. Budget-friendly options like Giovanni Natural Mousse or Herbal Essences Bio:Renew also work well. Avoid heavy ingredients and check for hydrolyzed wheat protein if highly sensitive. Always verify labels for gluten-free safety.

      Honestly, with a 10x or higher level on a TTG-IgA score, there is really no other explanation but celiac disease, at least in my humble opinion.

      A high percentage of celiacs can't tolerate dairy and they react to it like they do gluten. I would suggest a trial of removing that from your kid's diet for several weeks to see if symptoms improve. Same with oats, even gluten free oats, contain the protein "avenin" which is similar enough to gluten that it causes a gluten-like reaction in about 8% of celiacs. Some cultivars of oats actually contain gluten.
