Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any real-time chatrooms out there. Would be fun if there are any.

Thanks a million.

Yes. The celiac board at delphiforums.com has scheduled chats I think Monday & Wednesday nights. How many people show varies, but that's the only live chat I know of.

I run a yahoo site for celiac and have the capabilities of having real time chats. We have done a couple before. It is just very hard to schedule them because of time zones and such. If anybody is interested I would be more than happy to allow the use of the one there.

Just let me know.

ha Upon posting that the other day I was looking at my group features . They have taken out the chat feature! <_< So sorry to get hopes up. You are still more than welcome to check the group out reguardless. We have a message board and post questions and support just like this one only on a much smaller scale :) I have 485 Members currently.

Somebody could start a room in Open Original Shared Link if they wanted to. Keeping it open on a regular schedule makes it easier for visitors to frequent the room.

      Awaiting diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      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.
