hi. My name is robbie, and my wife is gluten intolerant / has celiac disease. I also have a cousin with the same condition. But whereas my cousin is very disciplined and keeps away from gluten-based foods, my wife is not as disciplined. Honestly, it really irritates me. I know it is easier said than done, but I feel that celiac disease is not a sickness, but a condition. She should work around her condition, accpet it.

By the way, i am also from the Philippines. It is tough. There are not as many people with that condition here in the Philippines.

But I see celiac disease as a condition, not a sickness. One must accept and be strict with oneself.

Sorry I did not see your post sooner! I agree it is a condition and you do have to be strict with yourself. Since I have been here I am noticing Philippines does not have strict laws about listing gluten in foods here so it is some trial and error for me.

Hi Kakaiba,

I’m a New Zealander and I’ve lived in the Philippines for 16 years.  It has become obvious over some years that I have celiac disease and I have gone gluten-free which is really hard here.  I mostly cook at home.

Good to know there’s a few others that we can share our stories with here. I’ve had DH twice in 9 years and developed gut reactions in the last 3-4 years but I’ve had gradually increasing peripheral neuropathy for nearly 30 years and it seems that celiac disease might be the cause.  Doctors have never understood it and I prove negative for all other known causes.

Ive had positive genetic tests (DQ2.2) and (false) negative serology as I was gluten-free at the time.  I need to find a doctor, pref in Makati that understands celiac disease.  I would appreciate it if readers could recommend any doctors they know who have solid experience with celiac disease.

Thanks

Geoff

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results?

      By trents · Posted

      I don't see the reference ranges. There is a very short time window for editing posts so if you tried to put them in your original post, it probably didn't work. Start a new post instead with the scores and reference ranges together.

      Sorry about that, I just reposted with the reference ranges. I clearly don't know what I'm doing! : )

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By Jessica H · Posted

      Hello! I'm a new member, 39 years old, just figuring out based on my symptoms through research that I may have Celiac Disease. I took an Everlywell screening at home last week and yesterday had a Celiac panel done at my doctor's office. The results came in today. Are these numbers a pretty sure sign that I have Celiac? My doctor hasn't reviewed the results of the lab yet but I know these are all high. I'm just so worried that I've done so much damage to my body. My symptoms have been pretty mild but are becoming more noticeable over the last year. I just hope I can repair what damage has been done. This is all so new to me. Thank you for any information. Gliadin Deaminated Antibody IgA (Normal Value <7.0 U/mL) - 21.0 Gliadin Deaminated Antibody IgG (Normal Value <7.0 U/mL) - 19.0 Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Ab (Normal Value <7.0 U/mL) - 128.0 Tissue Transglutaminase IgG (Normal Value <7.0 U/mL) - 27.0 Immunoglobulin A (IgA) (Normal Range 70-400 mg/dl) - 167.0

      Welcome to the forum, @Jessica H! We can't comment as you did not include the reference ranges for the various tests and there are not yet industry standards for the various celiac antibody tests that are available. Each lab creates the tests a little differently and uses their own scales. So, can you repost the info but with the reference ranges this time?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By larc · Posted

      I don't take any medicine for Afib since it only happens after exposure to gluten. My cardiologist doesn't agree with me. My feeling is that since I get Afib and higher blood pressure after accidentally ingesting gluten if I took medicine for it it would only mask my symptoms of gluten exposure.
