It looks like I'm on her list now. Anyway, I decided to sign up for some of the community sharing projects and recipe things they do (sorry, I don't have all the lingo down) . I'm going to give it my all to make any of those projects fit our Gluten-free Casein-free (and the rest of our evils free) to promote allergy/intolerance/sensitivity awareness. Care to join me? :D (read: HELP!) :lol:;)

Not sure how I can help although in things you send her you can quote some of the things we are doing in Hawaii with chefs and restaurant guidelines and classes for culinary students. Chefs tell me 10% of the guests not have some food allergy, mostly celiac followed by peanut followed by shellfish, so they know they have to get up to speed on it all.

Magazines love to write about hawaii!

good luck

Hmm, best of luck with that. Foodies can be some of the nastiest people when it comes to being tolerant of allergies and food intolerances. I learned that on the Jamie Oliver forum. One poor woman mentioned cheese allergies and they got nasty with her. I came to her defense in what I thought was a non aggressive manner and got shouted down as well. My favorite comment was the ding-a-ling who said "Just take an allergy pill". But then these are people who are insisting that school lunch programs use "free range" chickens exclusively. Yeah, that would fly in the US.

My point is, they tend to get really defensive. I think they somehow see those of us with allergies and intolerances as somehow limiting their future options or something.

Well, I know you can have a nut case on any message board but the way this is set up in the recipe area doesn't really encourage it. I am focusing my efforts in the area where it asks for comments from people who have tried the recipe and give their reviews. If people can say needs more salt or needs less pepper, I feel I can say works well with soy as a sub or if you don't eat wheat use the rice noodles instead of corm.

I first choose a defining name using Gluten-free Casein-free in the name. I am trying basic recipes at first and giving my ratings and comments. After I have some up I am going to start trying recipes that call for pasta or milk. I still encounter way too many people who think we are some frumpy, twig eating, hippie types. We have actually had people accept invites out of curiosity only to find out we were "NORMAL". "Your stove is newer then mine!", "You have air conditioning", "You have furniture"...it gets down right scary at times when you hear the confessions.

The stereotype needs to be broken and they need to recognize that we can also be the teacher, the lawyer, the mom/dad, the company president...

      Don’t understand lab results..Help please

      By RondaM · Posted

      Thank you for your feedback.  I was not eating gluten free at time the lab was taken.  Have been gluten free now for a week. How long might it take for symptoms to go away. Only issue I have is loose stool. thanks again,,

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Since you keep linking to the same site that has a focus on the microbiome, it's clear that you have a strong focus on the topic, but here it usually comes up in relation to untreated celiac disease, thus I've shared the research summaries that we've done over the years on how the two are related. Like many disorders, including celiac disease, it's clear that more research needs to be done to fully understand both SIBO and celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @RondaM! These two tests are celiac antibody tests and they both look to be negative: Endomysial Antibody IgA:  Negative t-Transglutaminase (tTG):  <2 We commonly refer to the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) as tTG-IGA.   This one is what we commonly call "total IGA" and is on the high side:  Immunoglobulin A, Qn  Serum :  417.  H Total IGA is not an antibody test for celiac disease per se but the reason it is run is that if it is on the low side (i.e., you are "IGA deficient") it can cause the individual IGA tests that are designed to check for celiac disease per se to be falsely negative. This is not a problem in your case. I do not know that there are any particular health concerns connected to having a higher than normal total IGA. Based only on these IGA tests it does not appear that you have celiac disease but it is unfortunate that only IGA tests were ordered. I would have been helpful to also include the DGP-IGG test. Some people who truly do have celiac disease just have immune systems that don't throw positives for IGA celiac antibody tests. But here is an important question. Had you already begun limiting gluten in your diet before the blood draw for the testing was done? If so, it rendered the testing invalid.

      What do you think of the contrary information on SIBO I shared which argues that the term itself is misleading, erroneous, and even harmful?   There are current patient-led efforts to get FMT approved by the FDA. Anyone interested in FMT should get involved.   Do you have a citation for this? The wiki I shared in my previous comment has a whole page on antibiotics, including dozens of studies and reviews concluding that the damage is permanent and compounds over generations.
