My doctor's office called me today and told me that I officially have Celiac disease. I'm not surprised in the least and hopefully going gluten free will alleviate the itchiness I have been having. I've got lots of research to do not to mention buying gluten free foods. I know I should stop eating gluten free now, but hubby says to wait until the weekend so that I can have the foods I like for a bit longer. Oh well I'm glad I found this board and look forward to reading new posts.

Welcome to the board! I am sure you will begin finding yourself feeling better than ever soon.

However, I would not wait to the weekend. I would stop eating gluten right now and never look back. Once you see how much better you feel, probably in ways you never anticipated were even related to gluten, you won't even think about "cheating".

Best of luck.

I have to say I agree with your husband. Enjoy eating the foods you love for the weekend b/c you will need to be gluten free for the rest of your life. If you can deal with the consequences, go for it!

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By Connie Smitj · Posted

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I  had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?

      Help Understanding Test Results

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, am I missing something? For the TTG-IGA normal is anything 3 or less and his score less than 2. I think that one is in normal range. @Brown42186, if the GI doc is not interested in doing an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining based on the elevated TTG-IGG I would request a repeat on the bloodwork now that you have resumed gluten consumption again.

      Interesting for sure. Have you heard of potential cross reactivity to casein (dairy), corn, milket, iats, rice, and yeast?

      Thanks for all the info! I'll see how my appointment next week goes. I think I'm going to push for having a blood test done again since I've been consistently eating gluten and go from there.
