Seems like something has changed with the format on the forum -- there used to be a Google search field and now I can't find it anywhere! All I can find is a small search box at the top right. Anytime I search for ANYTHING in that field -- nothing ever comes up. Always comes back "no results". Please help! Seems like I remember the Google search box being on the left maybe down about a 1/4 page??

The Google search is not available directly from the forum pages.

Check that you are using the correct scope with the search. It is sensitive to where it is launched from. If you are in a topic, it will by default search only that topic. If in a forum index, by default only that forum will be searched. You can change the scope with the pull-down menu in the right side of the window.

To the right of the window is an icon that looks a bit like a gear. Click it to access advanced search options, which include using Google to search.

Thank you. Is that a recent change? The Google search used to always be there whenever I first would pull up the forum? Now it seems I have to take extra steps to get there.

Upgrades to the board in January improved the built-in search function.

It takes exactly one extra click to get to Google if you prefer that search.

Is the non-google search still available? The only search I see is "search forum via google", and that doesn't have options like the other. What am I missing?

I think the google works much better for the forum. Just my opinion.

Under the Google search there are little letters that say" Advanced Search".

      Awaiting diagnosis

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
