I lost my job Monday. I received a severance at leat, but it won't be easy to find something new. It was really awful for several months. A re hostile workplace situation with no accommodation of my illness. I can now focus on my health instead of the fear of job loss, but this really sucked. All of you out there hang in.

I'm sorry to hear you lost your job but it sounds like the place was pretty toxic. Glad you were able to get a severence and I hope you can find another better job soon. Hang in there, you never know this time next year you may look back and say losing that job was the best thing that ever happened. I do hope so anyway.

So sorry to hear that. It's such a rough time right now. It sucks that work places make it so difficult for celiacs.

Are you really 6ft6? My brothers are 6ft4 and that's tall. :lol:

Somehow I ended up 4'11" and guess what the doc thinks? Undiagnosed celiac as a kid caused my growth to be stunted. I was super tall in the 5th grade. This height actually. Then I mysteriously stopped growing. Now we know why.

      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.
