Is Everyone Wearing Something Green Today?

I'm not sure if everyone saw the previous post about this. A bunch of us were going to wear green today, the official color of celiac awareness, in a tribute to Bette Hagman who passed away this week. I tried to get my non-celiac friends and family to wear green today to no avail. I guess if you don't actually have celiac you don't realize what a big deal it is. My husband is wearing a green shirt because he wouldn't dare not to. :) Throw on something green today, a shirt, hat, necklace, etc and promote celiac awareness!

John is wearing green today, but I had to minimize my green to a bracelet since I had to go to clinic today.

I wore a green t-shirt to my CT Scan today. Has anyone heard if they are doing any sort of memorials for Bette?

Just a quick update. I am happy to say that two of my (non-celiac) coworkers came in wearing green! I haven't heard about any memorials. I am also part of the NYC celiac meetup group and I know on there they are encouraging people to make one of her recipes.

I am wearing green today!! I LOVE so many of Bette Hagman's recipes and I couldn't resist showing my support for all she did for us!

So where can I get one of these bracelets?? I missed something!

So sorry to hear that about Betty. Where does everyone get the Celiac Awareness bracelets from? I just posted about that wishing we had them. I am newly diagnosed (3 months ago) so am still learning a lot about all of this.

Thanks

      Are Good & Gather Products Safe?

      By ZandZsmom · Posted

      Are you using the same mixer that you used for your gluten containing baking? That could be your culprit.

      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
