Howdy folks,

I thought I'd drop by and leave a status report..

Let me see, in the last month, I've turned 47...gone to Reno...had a kid graduate from High School and reached a major milestone with my company(Now eligible for early retirement). I really want to tell you who it is and rag on them, but I'm not going to:)

Lots of stuff going on.

Our trip to Reno (one of the gambling Mecca's in the western US, like a mini Vegas for those who don't know) was fun...except for one small problem: I couldn't find anything to eat! Those casinos want to give you nothing but fast food, so you'll rush back out and gamble away your money.

Luckily I'd stuffed a huge jar of mixed nuts into my luggage, cause that was dinner for a couple nights.

Breakfast is always easy...eggs,,bacon hashbrowns...but dinner is always tougher.

This last weekend we had a graduation BBQ for my youngest daughter. We had company for a couple nights and I ate like crap. I felt like crap too, but it wasn't from eating gluten...it was from eating...all the gluten-free junk food I could find. You know the old adage...you are what you eat..It's true! Plus the stress of having company doesn

Good for you! Thanks for the update, and congrats to the high school graduate!

After two and a half years gluten free (and a few other things free) lately I've had a strange new sensation in my intestines... they're QUIET... :o:blink::lol: I haven't had real pains or troubles for a long time, but now suddenly there's this odd feeling of calm. It's like until now, even though it wasn't painful, I could always feel my intestines working, and now I can't any more, though they are working, quite regularly, too, thank you very much! :P

Just so you know...even when you think you're an old hand at this, and everything has levelled out, there can still be surprises...

Wondered why we hadn't heard from you much lately. You sure have been busy. It will be interesting to hear what the dermatologist has to say about your mother. The same thing has been happening to mine. Congrats on your son's graduation. Remember age is only a number. Wendy

Glad to hear you are doing well and keeping buzy and gluten-free. Sometimes our 'miraculous' return to health can be enough to wake up our family members. It definately was a deciding factor in my DH getting tested and then following through on the diet after a low positive. Hopefully the same will occur for your family.

      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.

      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.

      So it sounds like Global Foods has adopted the FDA standard for "gluten free" advertising.
    • cvernon
      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.
    • trents
      Never heard of them. They give an email address so if I were you I would contact them and ask those questions. It would be wonderful if they had tighter requirements than GFCO in the sense of more frequent batch testing and even random testing. Recent news articles on this forum from back in this summer have revealed that GFCO is letting us down.
