I'm overwhelmed with information, and I'm hungry!!! My girlfriend found the Healthy Choice chicken rice soup, and made some gluton free brownie's for my B-day that I munch on....ummm banana's, apples. I had been gluten-free for a week and was so amazed at the results!!! Wow Wow Wow......and finally ...Wow! Then we went for Sushi last night we my daughter and boyfriend. I have been so sick! Every symptom has come back with a vengence.

PS: I'm not diagnosed , Dr. told me to try to gluton free and set me up for the GI consult. Now I wonder if I need to continue killing myself to get the positive test???

Confused and overwhelmed.....and hungry

To get accurate testing for celiac you need to be eating gluten... Your doctor is wrong by telling you to go gluten-free then see a GI doc.. He's got it A__ __ backwards......Plus I assume you are an adult& you tried going gluten-free & felt instant relief when not eating gluten.Then you went to a sushi place & got sick... That should help you make your choice..

Not everyone needs a stamped certificate stating you need to be gluten-free... It' s your choice to get tested or not be tested... With children they need to be tested & dx'd for school...adults can make their own choice ...

If you are gonna get tested than you got keep eating gluten. If you stop eating it the test can come back negitive. So decide if you want an offical dignostic. If not you can do a gluten challenge but that can be negative to.

Thats up to you.

I would 'like' an official diagnosis so I would know what to do with my kids (who are very young still), and to convince my mom and sister who have problems and are stubborn to get tested. But honestly I feel so much better I don't want to go back to gluten or the ridiculous cost of testing.

I haven't tried sushi yet, I believe not all rice is gluten free, most soy sauce is 60% wheat also. You actually have to buy soy sauce thats gluten free (kind of messed up that soy sauce is mostly made of wheat normally).

Sushi is hard. Not only do you have to avoid the regular soy sauce, but some of the other sauces used in the sushi also have gluten. Like the sauce they use on the smoked eel (which was my favorite before going gluten-free). And teriyaki sauce can have glutent too. Doesn't leave much options except for lots of edimame :)

Most soy sauce has wheat unless you buy gluten free Tamari soy sauce, which is 100% soy. But not all Tamari sauces are gluten free, so make sure it says so on the label.

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By Brianne03 · Posted

      My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac; my results are questionable and I have an appointment scheduled to see a GI doctor to further discuss. I have so many odd, ongoing symptoms that could possibly be gluten related, although who really knows!! I am considering going gluten-free whether a Celiac diagnosis is confirmed or not, just to see if there are any improvements with my dermatitis, mouth sores, aching and chronically cold hands, tingling in hands and feet, random joint pains, etc.  What are the advantages vs. disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis? For instance, will it affect life insurance policies, medical insurance rates? What have you personally experienced with or without an official diagnosis? I'm almost afraid there will be more hinderances and hardships if an official diagnosis is given, but maybe I am way off base and missing the positives altogether. We are located in the US. Thank you!

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Thank you all for the reply posts.  Yes, the constipation has abated.  I am not sure whether its due to having changed to a gluten-free diet or not, but I do think that there is a reasonable correlation.  I know that I will get over this eventually, but I am finding it hard not to lament missing all of my favorite foods that contain gluten.  Certainly, my health comes first... I guess I never realized how many things contain some element of wheat.  My sister has been living with celiac disease for most of her life, so I have someone who will share her favorite recipes. The next step for me will be my appointment with a Gastroenterologist for the Celiac Team... I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?
