We went to Da Luciano's the weekend after Thanksgiving and it was great. They have a whole gluten free menu and I saw someone holding one at almost every table. We ordered pizza and the kids really liked it. The gluten free pizzas are personal pizzas so everyone got to order their own. They also have a gluten free cannoli which DD really liked. She still is talking about it. I tasted a little bit (that is all she would let me take LOL) and it was really good! The only bad part was that we had to wait a while for our food, but it was really busy. Every table was taken in the restaurant and there were lots of people waiting (luckily we came before them) I will definitly make reservations next time.

This is a great restaurant - I recommend anyone who has celiac in IL to check it out. The food is excellent and it's a wonderful family business.

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By Philly224 · Posted

      Labcorp on demand has the test for 120 bucks which is pretty cool, that's what I did last time so I'll probably do that's again. I've been eating gluten for over a year again, if I increase my intake for two weeks and retest is that long enough?

      Yeah I suggested doing another blood test and they basically said no they don't want to do it until after the diet which makes no sense to me either. Maybe I'll just pay for it myself.

      As Scott said, if you go on a gluten free diet ahead of testing you can expect the test results to be negative. If you remove gluten from your diet, the inflammation in the lining of the small bowel will subside, antibody levels (what the blood tests are checking for) will drop and the mucosal lining will experience healing such that a biopsy will be normal. So, it makes no sense to me to start the gluten free diet now unless your doctor wants to see if the weak positive disappears in response to a gluten free diet. Your Marsh 1 score indicates little to no damage has been experienced in the lining of the small bowel to this point. Two slices of bread daily might not be sufficient to produce unequivocal test results. Recently revised "gluten challenge" guidelines are recommending at least 10 g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks leading up to the day of testing, whether it be the blood antibody testing or the biopsy. It makes more sense to me for you to increase your gluten intake for several weeks and get retested. It is not likely that doing so for that limited amount of time will produce any serious health consequences but may give you unequivocable test results and more clear direction. If you decide to do this, make sure that in addition to the tTG-IGA test, you request a "total IGA" test order to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, your tTG-IGA score will be artificially low. Those are, at the very minimum, the two tests that should always be ordered when a blood draw is done check for celiac antibodies. There are other tests which can be ordered as well that check for evidence in the IGG immunes response spectrum. Here is an overview:
