This forum is so wonderful. You are all so helpful - it has made my transition and healing go so smoothly. I can't imagine going through this without resources like this forum.

A million hugs to you all!

An update on my journey:

I went Gluten Free just about 2 months ago.

Made a few mistakes along the way but for the most part the changes to my body and mind have been phenomenally good! I won't bore you with the list, but if you ask I'll tell.

Just this week I discovered that whenever I have milk, I have been getting headaches and some stomach bloating and discomfort.

This is a new problem - I have never had trouble with milk in the past.

Yogurt and cheese are still OK, thank goodness!

After researching on this site I believe I need to go lactose free for awhile. I'm starting that today.

Hopefully this is just part of the healing process, but if I need to go lactose free for life I know that things will be ok, thanks to you guys :)

Anyway, I can't express how grateful I am for this forum and the people on it.

This is the first place I go when I have questions, am scared, or just needing reassurance...and I've never left empty-handed.

Peace to you all and Happy (USA) Thanksgiving!

I am glad that everything is progressing well for you.

After several months, I too had problems. I gave up dairy for a few months and after that, I had no problem.

I think that after you eliminate the gluten, smaller voices can be heard. In your case and mine, dairy.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
