I admit it, I am jealous!! A week without worrying about finding gluten-free food! And SMORES!! (need I say more??) My dd just left for camp. Her grandmother is taking her up there.

I wish I could go!

Anyone else sending their child to a gluten-free camp this summer?

PS, my oldest dd (not gluten-free) left fot Tennessee this morning with her choir! I am down to 2 kids for a whole week!

It must be the Great Gluten Escape Camp! We haven't sent the kids yet, but definately plan on it for next year when my daughter is a bit older. I'll bet your dd has a blast....you'll have to report back and let us know how it went!

My eight year old daughter is off to gluten free camp for a week in August. The local Celiac Association puts it on every year (this will be her first). They have a professional chef as the camp cook and I admit I am jealous too!

It's great to see that these kids are able to get involved without any worries.

We have a gluten-free camp in Texas and I can't wait. It starts at age 7 and my ds is 5 so we have a bit to go, but I know that he will love it when the time comes.

      Don’t understand lab results..Help please

      By trents · Posted

      If gluten is the problem or the only problem I should say, your stools should have normalized by now. But many in the gluten intolerant/gluten sensitive population are also dairy intolerant. Try eliminating dairy from your diet and see if the issues improve.

      Thank you for your feedback.  I was not eating gluten free at time the lab was taken.  Have been gluten free now for a week. How long might it take for symptoms to go away. Only issue I have is loose stool. thanks again,,

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Seeking Advice about Fecal Transplant to Treat Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since you keep linking to the same site that has a focus on the microbiome, it's clear that you have a strong focus on the topic, but here it usually comes up in relation to untreated celiac disease, thus I've shared the research summaries that we've done over the years on how the two are related. Like many disorders, including celiac disease, it's clear that more research needs to be done to fully understand both SIBO and celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @RondaM! These two tests are celiac antibody tests and they both look to be negative: Endomysial Antibody IgA:  Negative t-Transglutaminase (tTG):  <2 We commonly refer to the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) as tTG-IGA.   This one is what we commonly call "total IGA" and is on the high side:  Immunoglobulin A, Qn  Serum :  417.  H Total IGA is not an antibody test for celiac disease per se but the reason it is run is that if it is on the low side (i.e., you are "IGA deficient") it can cause the individual IGA tests that are designed to check for celiac disease per se to be falsely negative. This is not a problem in your case. I do not know that there are any particular health concerns connected to having a higher than normal total IGA. Based only on these IGA tests it does not appear that you have celiac disease but it is unfortunate that only IGA tests were ordered. I would have been helpful to also include the DGP-IGG test. Some people who truly do have celiac disease just have immune systems that don't throw positives for IGA celiac antibody tests. But here is an important question. Had you already begun limiting gluten in your diet before the blood draw for the testing was done? If so, it rendered the testing invalid.
