Hello Everyone,

Over the last week or so meat has become repellent to me. It smells bad, looks funny. Looking back it seems that I have been unconciously choosing other foods like eggs and peanut butter for most of my meals for several weeks. Also my low blood sugar is not reacting to skipping meals or just eating fruit and coffee. I know this can't healthy .........

What the heck is happening to me? Why does meat smell bad to me? Do I need another vitamin or should I just go vegetarian?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you RA

You preggers?

I rarely eat meat and when I do, it's fish. I think since it's been so long that I've eaten much meat, it NEVER smells good to me. I'm basically an ovo-vegetarian, (occasional fish too), but my kids and dh love steak. I had to hold my breath while I put it in the oven last night because the smell makes me want to vomit!

Don't know if that helps :P

I was vegetarian for eighteen years before being forced to go gluten-free. I was lactose intolerant for about ten years. Even with my further restrictions, I can't bring myself to eat meat. The funny thing is, people look at me more strangely for the wheat that I can't have than for the meat I choose not to.

I've been a vegetarian about 14 years. My husband eats meat, and I would say only fish smells bad to me. It all looks pretty bad, though, and I don't want to eat it.

If the smell's turning you off, then maybe you should look into some gluten-free vegetarian cookbooks. There are a bunch out there, and then you wouldn't have to worry that you're just having coffee and fruit. If most of your meals have been based on meat in the past, it can be a considerable transition. If later on you decide you can have/want to have meat again, then at least you'll have learned some new, interesting side dishes.

Thanks everyone, I think I will check on-line for some good recipes and just go vegetarian for a bit and see if this passes. I wonder how humus tastes on rice cakes?

Celiac-mommy, no I'm not expecting. We love babies but the next one in our house better be a grandchild! :D

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.

      With NCGS there isn't villi damage, so it would not be detected via an endoscopy/biopsy. There also may not be high levels of tTG-IgA or tTG-IgG (sometimes they can be elevated, but in the normal range), but these blood tests may be slightly elevated or even high in people with NCGS: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide), but, you can still have it even if all of these tests are normal.

      That all makes sense thank you.    I was within normal ranges - a little on the lower end.  So, the NCGS would still show positive biopsy?
