My Mom told me to read this Stone Soup comic in today's paper and it made me laugh! It was in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and I scanned it to share:

It's good the words out there, but it's too bad it makes it sound like eating gluten-free is a choice... like eating organic.

We have a long way to go.

Well, if it would e serious it wouldn't be very funnt.

We know we can't "forget" to order glutenfree but I like anything that makes people know the word Gluten.

      FDA says that most drugs are gluten-free???

      Thanks for this update, and it is scary that drug manufacturing is being outsourced to India, a country that is notorious for having very little, or extremely relaxed business regulations.

      NCGS Diagnosis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Just so you know GliadinX is not supposed to be used in place of a gluten-free diet, and may only be able to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach. Small amounts might mean some wheat bread crumbs on your scrambled eggs at a restaurant. I'm not sure how your taking it, but I can say that I used to get glutened ~30% of the time when eating out, but now if I take a couple of GliadinX shortly before I eat a restaurant meal I no longer have issues, even though I suspect that the cross-contamination issues are likely still present in the restaurants I'm at. It won't work with large amounts of gluten, which they disclose on their website--and full disclosure, they are a sponsor here, but that is not why I'm responding.

      No everyone with DH has issues with iodine, but some do, so it's good to be aware of this just in case you fall into that group.

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      @Parkrunner Your journey with undiagnosed celiac disease highlights how easily this condition can be overlooked, especially when symptoms are mild or mistaken for other issues. It’s frustrating that it took decades—and serious complications like osteoporosis—before getting answers, but it’s inspiring to hear how much your health has improved since going gluten-free. The fact that you’re running again, sleeping better, and avoiding medications in your 70s is a testament to the power of proper diagnosis and dietary changes. It’s also a good reminder that celiac can manifest in so many ways (like your arrhythmia, muscle cramps, and night sweats) and that food intolerances, like lactose, often go hand-in-hand. Your experience gives hope to others—even after years of undiagnosed damage, healing is possible. Keep enjoying that gluten-free, active life—you’ve earned it!

      Question

      By trents · Posted

      endomys is, aka, "EMA" and is a celiac disease antibody test. It was negative. gliaiga is, aka, IGP-IGA, is also a celiac disease antibody test. It was negative. TRANSGLUA is, aka, TTG-IGA, another celiac disease antibody test. It was in normal range. tranigg is, aka, TTG-IGG, still another celiac disease antibody test. It was high, or above normal range. immaqnt is, I believe, what is also known as "total IGA" and at 160, looks to be in normal range since it wasn't flagged otherwise. This is a test for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient then all other IGA test scores cannot be trusted as being accurate. You are not IGA deficient. Here is a primer explaining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease: Celiac disease blood antibody testing is not valid when someone has been gluten free or eating low gluten for a significant period of time. The IGA tests are more specific for celiac disease than are the IGG tests but your slightly high TTG-IGG test score could reflect that you have celiac disease and have had low level exposure to gluten over time or a recent exposure. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
