My wife and I are going on a Mexico cruise in 10 days. You can bet I will be very careful before and during this cruise as I want to feel my best. I don't plan to eat anything that even looks remotely questionable. I am so looking forward to some sunshine......and warmth...

Definitely contact the cruise company beforehand. Many cruise ships can accomodate a gluten free diet. 10 days may be enough time for them to ensure they have plenty of gluten free food. Enjoy your trip!

Please don't go on your cruise naively concerning gluten free accomodations. You MUST contact them ahead of time, usually 2 weeks. So probably better do it today. If you don't mind a plain piece of meat or fish, sauteed veggies, a baked potato, plain rice and plain fresh fruit for dessert, for all meals, you'll be fine. But unless you talk to them upfront, you won't likely get anything fun or different. They also need to understand exactly what your personal allergies entail. Some ships are better than others at understanding celiac. So you really must communicate with them so they get a heads up. Are you allergic to anything else? If you are also casein intolerant or soy or eggs or anything else major, they really need to know that so your meals don't become exceedingly boring. Cruise ships are capable of fantastic food, so don't worry. They can do it. They just need to know ahead. Hope you have a great time!

      Understood, and with any positive blood test the usual next step is a biopsy to confirm celiac disease, and this would be true even if the tTg-IgA is negative.

      ADA, if that applies to you, has specific procedures, guidelines, rules, and regulations for employers to accommodate employees with disabilities. Check with your company HR Dpt. As Scott has mentioned this would be a quick fix, with the protection afforded employees with disabilities through ADA there is no need for you to job hunt. Hope this helps.    Ps. Coeliac Disease is now a listed Disability in the U.S.

      Yes, the TTG-IGG was positive but not the TTG-IGA.

      Test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For someone with celiac disease who might have extreme villi damage the term "cross-reactivity" gets thrown around a lot.  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      This test was positive according to the original post, so the next normal step would be a biopsy: TTG IGG - 9 U/mL (0-5 range) @Brown42186 Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
