An Update On Me

Hey there.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Wanted to give an update about the cruise and how I'm feeling. The cruise went very well and I only

got sick one time for several hours. This was the morning after I'd had four pieces of bread with dinner :blink:

For the most part I ate a slice of bread or two with every dinner, but not much else in the way

of gluteny stuff. Lots of meats, potato's and salads.

Actually the worst day of all was after we got back...we had pizza for dinner. I felt like crap and hurt all over the next day. Like a hangover but without the booze....

Interestingly, what I've discovered is...it's not just the amount of gluten that I eat that makes me sick,

it's also, the RATIO of gluten to other foods. If I eat a couple slices of bread along with a large piece of meat, potato's....cheese etc...I'm not likely to get sick. However, if I hadn't eaten the other foods, I

would get sick. In other words a sandwich might make me sick, however a piece of bread, along with

a big dinner, doesn't seem to make a difference. How weird is that??

Why are you eating gluten? You can't get better if you eat it everyday. Damage is done despite a lack of symptoms as well

Good question. Because I've decided to pursue an official diagnoses. I posted about this a couple weeks ago...

Hope you had a wonderful time on the cruise. I heard that the trip is awesome. I know you want an official diagnosis and so keep on eating the bread. They say it has to be enough gluten to equal 3 slices of bread a day. Good Luck.

Hi Jerry--welcome back! Glad you had a nice vacation. Do you have an appt yet, or are you going to hold off a little longer--I can't remember :blink:

I think I'm going to try to consume gluten for a few more weeks then make an appt. I went a couple weeks gluten-free...so I just want to be sure to give it enough time. j

      Celiac And Eggs

      By MommaBear82 · Posted

      I just wanted to point out that the QUANTITY of exposure to eggs in baked goods would naturally be much less than if you were to eat a whole egg. I think that's why they appear to be tolerated in baked goods, but not as a stand-alone food.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      I would agree. The tests do not indicate you have celiac disease. So, if you are convinced that when you eliminate gluten from your diet your symptoms improve, I would conclude you have NCGS.

      By Jack Common · Posted

      My old results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests as RMJ had suggested to do. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As trents suggested I ate 6 slices of wheat bread before the tests during the challenge. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As I can understand I don't have celiac disease.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By trents · Posted

      So it sounds like Global Foods has adopted the FDA standard for "gluten free" advertising.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By cvernon · Posted

      Agreed, I am disappointed in the recent GFCO findings as well and definitely don't hold them in as high of a regard as I used to. I did find on the Global Foods website after posting that their required ppm limit is 20ppm, which isn't as low as I had hoped. I'll email and report back. Thx.
