Why Not Wikipedia?

I was wondering if there should be a celiac wiki or if there should be updated info. on wikipedia?

This is because as I was trying to figure out what my condition was, I would frequent wikipedia sometimes for "food for thought". But never once was it mentioned that constipation was a part of the problem so all the while I thought even porphyria was a better explanation than celiac disease! Too many think that celiac is only related to diarrhea and nothing else it would be a great convenience if someone who knows how to edit articles to perhaps, edit the entry on celiac?

Thanks again

As you have seen Wiki is not the best of places for medical info. If you need to do searches for medically related stuff the National Institute of Health and WebMd are two examples of better places to go for information.

I have no idea how to edit stuff on Wiki, but I do know anyone can do so whether they really know their subject well or not.

Why don't you make an account and learn to edit? The idea of a wiki is that anyone can contribute, not that you ask people do do it for you. :P

Here's directions and there is a sandbox (meaning a fake test site) for practicing.

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      This might be helpful to you at this point:

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
