Hey Everyone!

I am just posting to encourage people to travel and to not let celiac get in the way. I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with celiac in June of 2006, so about 7 months ago.

I am currently studying abroad in London and have traveled in Europe. It is very very possible!!! So far I have been to England, Scotland, Belgium, Sweden and Denmark.

I have successfully eaten gluten free in all of these places and haven

this is so great to hear, because I'm going to Spain for 6 weeks and I have been so nervous about it, but I had also heard that Europe was easier than here. the organization that set up my housing said they found the perfect family for me that was "very familiar with the diet" so I think things will go just fine. ^_^

As an avid traveller, I can thoroughly recommend UK and Australia for gluten-free dieters! I have always found the US very difficult to negotiate. After the language barrier, there is the general community's lack of knowledge. There are excellent (exceptional) products available in specialty stores etc, but the average traveller doesn't usually have access to, or find these, especially with a tour for example. You will find waiters and waitresses and chefs are more likely to know about it here (although I still get the occasional 'blank look').

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.

      She finally has her appointment today. They said in their opinion it’s likely celiac. But repeated the bloodwork today. Her frost bloodwork was weak positive 5.3 (4-10 is a weak positive) Dr wanted her own labs. And they will be calling us to schedule the endoscopy.  They told her to keep Eating gluten. She has been eating is again for the last couple weeks.

      Agreed. Dairy is just as bad as gluten for me.
