During American Gladiators (NBC), there was a commercial for a Kenmore refrigerator-- the mother was asking why everything in the house couldn't be in the right place. In this type of refrigerator, everything was in the place it belonged-- look when the kid opens the drawer. I believe there was a box of Wheat Free Van's waffles!!!

Would that be a first, a gluten-free product in a mainstream, nationally advertised commercial?!?!

Yes! We noticed that last night. The husband/dad in the commercial is also wearing an identical shirt to one that my husband has. :D

I saw it too last night. I can't even remember what I was watching- but I am not sure it was a major network. The first time I saw it I thought I was seeing things- a little too much gluten-free food on the brain...and then I saw it a second time!

I saw it too!! I know it's strange, but I got so excited!!! I was actually googling kenmore so I could call or email them and tell them that I appreciated the placement, you know, create more awareness, and I found this thread...

So I actually called the customer service number (I couldn't find an email address) and thanked them for the product placement. The guy I spoke to seamed kind of confused, but said he would pass along my appreciation. I think we all should call. Let them know that we appreciate it. Here's the number: 1-800-469-4663

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
