I have never had a problem with the gluten free pasta either.. we have been using de boles since they have it at the walmart for like 2 dollars cheaper than what i can get at the health food store...Maybe i havent had a problem with it cuz my boyfriend sean does all the cooking?? :P Honestly i gave up cooking when i went gluten free, cuz i couldnt get anything to turn out right, from pies, to just food, nothing was ever "good" so now he cooks, and i am starting to enjoy food again!

You'll get the hang of it! I have some foolproof recipes for dinner that are yummy if you'd like to try returning to the kitchen.

Ok, i've been off gluten and dairy for 2 mo and i'm trying to wean my 11 yo off gluten, and i've also recently had some testing which put me off rice and almond - so tomorrow i'm going to try to make something (?) with corn elbow noodles, a cream sauce made from coconut milk flavored w garlic and mustard powder, and a little shredded vegan gourmet cheddar

So if you folks remember, I made it and it was . .. ok. Kid wouldnt eat it except on top of his hot dog, and i found it edible but not exciting.

Well, this morning I was cooking up some new uncured turkey bacon and suddenly thought about how some people are now breading and deep-frying leftover mac-n-cheese . . . so I took my frozen leftover portion of my experiment out of the freezer, thawed slightly, sliced and browned in some shortening in the bacon pan . . . ooh, it was good! It was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside and creamy and slightly salty . . . how funny!

What a neat idea Cara! I'll have to remember that. When I make grits, even if they are lumpy, I save the leftovers and add a little breakfast meat and fry the grits the next morning. It is fun to experiment with cooking!

Sorry the original didn't turn out as planned, but it sounds like you made the best of it! B)

      Keep us posted and let us know the results of the biopsy. Your case is atypical in a way in that you have this high DGP-IGA but normal TTG-IGA so knowing how it turns out will give us more data for similar situations that may be posted in the future.

      Fair enough! I very easily could have misread somewhere. Celiac is very confusing lol but I should know in a little over a month what the final verdict is. Just thought chatting with people smarter than myself would get me in the right mindset. I just thought that DGP IGA was pretty high compared to some stuff I had seen and figured someone on here would be more willing to say it is more than likely celiac instead of my doctor who is trying to be less direct. She did finally say she believes it is celiac but wanted to confirm with the biopsy. I did figure it wouldn't hurt seeing what other people said too just because not all doctors are the best. I think mine is actually pretty good from what I have seen but I don't know what I don't know lol. Sorry lot of rambling here just trying to get every thought out. Thanks again!

      No, you don't necessarily need multiple testing methods to confirm celiac disease. There is an increasing trend for celiac diagnoses to be made on a single very high tTG-IGA test score. This started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was extreme stress on the healthcare system there and it is spreading to the US. A tTG-IGA score of somewhere between 5x and 10x normal is good enough by itself for some physicians to declare celiac disease. And mind you, that is the tTG-IGA, not the DGP-IGA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac antibody testing, the one test most commonly ordered and the one that physicians have the most confidence in. But in the US, many physicians still insist on a biopsy, even in the event of high tTG-IGA scores. Correct, the biopsy is considered "confirmation" of the blood antibody testing. But what is the need for confirmation of a testing methodology if the testing methodology is fool proof? As for the contribution of genetic testing for celiac disease, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease while only 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. That is, if you don't have the genes, you don't have celiac disease but you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Okay yeah that helps! To answer your last bit my understanding was that you need to have multiple tests to confirm celiac. Blood, biopsy, dna, and then I think symptoms is another one. Either way I think everything has to be confirmed with the biopsy because that is the gold standard for testing (Doctors words). You also answered another question I forgot to ask about which is does a high value push to a higher % on those scales. I truly appreciate your answers though and just like hearing what other people think. Digging into forums and google for similar stuff has been tough. So thank you again!
