Hey everyone! I wanted to share an email xchange I had with a company that imports and distributes a most wonderful fruit bread. It was the best communication I've had so far.

Dear Sherri,

Thank you for inquiring about the Matiz Fig Bread. The ingredients of this

product are: figs, walnuts, honey, granulated sugar, essence of vanilla,

and cinnamon. I too have celiac and have been enjoying this wonderful

product for a couple of years now. Also, for future reference, none of the

Matiz fruit breads - Apricot, Date or Fig, contain any gluten.

I would be very much interested in participating in your discussion board.

What are the requirements?

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Warmly,

(I took out her name for privacy sake)

I suggest you all try the Matiz fruit breads if you can - they are so great for killing a sweet tooth, they are healthy, and they'd be great to take to parties for eating with cheese (for those of you who get to eat cheese, lucky monkeys).

p.s. I know there's probably no gluten in oats, but didn't feel like wording that the long-way-round.

That sounds really good. Where do you find that bread?

My food co-op has it; it lives with the cheese. Or you can probably order it online.

Awesome. I'll look for that next time I'm at my co-op.

      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?

      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.
