My Dr. only did an Endoscopy, and did a bi-opsy, he never did bloodwork..

is that enough to rule that it DEFINATELY is Celiac Disease?

if it was negative then no because a biopsy can miss damage. There may be sporadic or no damage yet. It can rule in celiac but it can't rule it out.

If it was positive then you HAVE celiac. Doesn't matter about blood work

Are you really freaked out by the dx? It's ok. It won't be that bad once you find the foods you can eat. Outback Steakhouse has a gluten free menu!! We've eaten out there dozens of times. You can download it, or just go to the restaurant and ask for their gluten free menu.

Thanks guys!

yes, i'm a little freaked out... I think that i'm under a lot of stress this year (which is what I think brought the disease out).. my mom had celiac as a baby, but I NEVER did... so it was quite a shock when my dr. was trying to rule everyting out, and was mearly expecting to come up with "IBS" diagnosis, and came back and said "we found someing we didn't think we would find... Swelling in the intestines"... i was SHOCKED...

an dit's a major lifestyle adjustment 2 weeks before my wedding.... I have TOO much on my mind right now... and NOW trying to go to Trader Joes and stock up on foods that I CAN eat... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

but my fiancee is being REALLY supportive, and he is even willing to eat the Brown rice pasta with me!! (he is from a huge italian family, and I was more nervous about HIS habbits having to change... but he's OK with it!)

Thanks for all the help and support.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
