Maybe some of you already know this, but there is a "find me gluten free" APP for FREE!!!! I was recently on a road trip from Minnesota to the Carolina's. When we got to South Carolina, I thought to myself how much easier it would be to just know what places there were, and not have to keep calling each restaurant. So I searched in my Android Market and found it for FREE!!! Made my whole year!! It will search over 30 miles from your location, and let you know whether it has a gluten-free menu or if they are just willing to work with you. I was able to eat at all new places (I tend to default to the Outbacks and Red Robins I always eat at here in MN) the whole trip without getting cross contaminated or looked at like I had two heads when I asked about gluten-free dining. Hope this helps someone!! If you do get this app, be sure to "suggest" places so we can get it built up and have more and more options!! Yay!

Thank you so much! I just downloaded the app. I'm fairly new with having a smart phone (DroidX), so still learning how to use it and all the wonderful things it can do for me. This will be VERY useful.

You're welcome! I am still excited about it!! It's pretty easy and quick to use. Love/hate how popular gluten-free is becoming...love that people are aware....hate that some people think it's a "fad diet" and that they don't have to be careful. So, now we can find the places who know how important it is to us!

I downloaded that the other day. It was really good to see it and a couple others on there as well. My phone is more useful than most of the rest of my body so anything that will enhance my life with it is something I'll cheerfully support.

      Help Understanding Test Results

      By Brown42186 · Posted

      I added the normal ranges below. Yes, I had mostly quit eating gluten before the test was done last year. I have been consistently eating it since this past Christmas. I wasn't sure if the results could've been incorrect since I wasn't eating much if any at the time of the test. I have a GI appointment next week and was considering seeing if they'd retest me. Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGA - 4 units (0-19 range) Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGG - 3 units (0-19 range) Endomysial Antibody IGA - Negative Immunoglobulin A, QN, Serum - 211 mg (87-352 range) TTG IGA - <2 U/mL (0-3 range) TTG IGG - 9 U/mL (0-5 range)

      The elevated TTG-IGG could be caused by celiac disease but it can be elevated for other reasons as well. The centerpiece of celiac blood antibody testing is the TTG-IGA and apparently that was not elevated. When you had the blood draw done for the testing, had you already been cutting back on gluten?

      @Cathijean90 It's pretty common to suffer from symptoms for a long time.  I had symptoms for a decade before I was diagnosed and I think that is about average.  The problem is the symptoms are often vague enough to be attributed to other digestive issues and that was the case with me.  It was only after I found out I was anemic from routine bloodwork and the doctor referred me to a gastroenterologist that I was finally diagnosed.  Afterwards I was mad at myself for not figuring it out sooner. That being said, you do probably need to talk to your doctor and figure out where to go from here.  A dietician and online resources (including this site) can assist you with going gluten free and as long as you do that, I think you'll likely be okay and your body will heal in time.

      Welcome to the forum, could you please include the reference ranges for each test, as they vary from lab to lab...thank you!

      I'm having a hard time understanding my blood test results. I've dealt with stomach issues for a few years and was tested for celiac but had not been eating much gluten if any at all around the date of my test. Could you help me interpret my results? Should I eat gluten consistently then have them redone? Thanks! Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGA - 4 units Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGG - 3 units Endomysial Antibody IGA - Negative Immunoglobulin A, QN, Serum - 211 mg TTG IGA - <2 U/mL TTG IGG - 9 U/mL The bottom result for TTG IGG is the only one flagged as high, but does that mean I have celiac? Or is that just something else?
