Hi all new here. Just saying that i take pea protein powder each day. It has no wheat, gluten, soy, diary, artificial flavours or preservatives etc etc so is a gr8 alternative to whey/soy protein and is pretty cheap too (can get a kg for $20 or so on ebay).

Cya.

Sam.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had a doctor for a few years too long who would always begin any response to nearly any question or comment I had, especially if I requested any type of test, with: "Mr. Adams, it looks like you've been doing some Google searches..." He never took me seriously, even when my total cholesterol levels were routinely over 300 and my father died in his 40's of a heart attack. Needless to say, I switched doctors and now have one that is in my corner.

      Sounds like your doctor is not very knowledgeable about celiac disease and may not be supportive of your efforts to run this down. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of ignorance in the medical community with regard to celiac disease. He/she may not even know what tests to run. Those of us who have been on the celiac journey for sometime have come to realize we need to be our own advocate and need to be appropriately assertive in order to get proper testing done. So, when the day comes for the appointment, here are some recommended tests you should discuss with your doctor that are celiac specific: At the bare minimum, the doctor should or: 1. total IGA. This test checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, then next test, #2 below, will give falsely low scores and may produce a false negative. 2. tTG-IGA This is the centerpiece of celiac disease testing and is the most popular test run by doctors. If  the doc is willing, ask for these in addition: 3. DGP-IGA 4. DGP-IGG 5. tTG-IGG These five tests would constitute a fairly complete celiac panel and give fuller picture. What one test may miss another may catch. Here is an article giving an overview of celiac disease blood antibody testing, the relative sensitivities and accuracies of each test. The one test mentioned in this article I did not include in my list is the EMA which is not used often anymore. It is expensive to run and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA. One other thing to be aware of and that is if there are positives in the antibody testing, you likely would get a referral to a GI doc who may want to do an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the antibody testing results. You would needs to still be consuming gluten for this one as well.
