    I am also lactose intolerant, and I haven't had any dairy since being a small child and my mum found out and put me on soy milk. I try so very hard to eat exclusively on my own and I use a separate shelf/utensils/toaster/bread board etc it's so very frustrating

    I was only diagnosed in March 2021 so I'm still finding my way thru

    How do y'all cope with the 'gluten poops' ? And the 'gluten farts' 🤭 sorry gross question but I had to ask. I have found that my number 2's have a very distinctive smell compared to normal number 2's, and it also looks different (yes I've looked lol) I don't know if anyone else has done this, but mine seems to have this greasy/oily kind of look to it, an...

    Absolutely! Funnily enough I trust my mother-in-law's cooking more than my own parents! Only because she bakes for a cafe in Wellington and her cookies that are gluten-free get sold along with all the other baked items she sells there, so she's really 'on to it' and I've eaten meals at her place and she's really gone the whole 9 yards to make sure everything...

    Where I live, getting a new Dr is like having yr toenails pulled out one by one lol they are very few and far between and my Dr is considered to be one of the best in my region, so I have to consider myself lucky I am under her and just do my own research when I need to and ask others, like on here, for their opinions and puzzle things out that way. At least...

    So it turns out that I do indeed have Coeliacs. I carry the genes and all the other blood work was conclusive that it was Coeliacs. Nice to have an answer, but again my Dr isn't the most on to it. When I get 'glutened' I get all the nasties, diarrhea, bloating, wind, stomach cramps, headaches, muscle and joint aches, fluid retention (bad!) Like so bad I can...

    I have been gluten free for almost a week now and I have felt so much better. Unfortunately, I ordered a gluten free pizza from Dominoes and I know it was a risk but I took it anyway. BIG mistake 😐 I had the pizza on Monday afternoon and at 2.30am Tuesday morning I was woken by a severe headache, which morphed into a migraine, and then some of the symptoms, s...

    Thanks! I'm wondering if maybe there is more to my results and it hasn't come back from the lab yet. We have an app at the Drs that I can use to check all my results, get repeats etc so when my Dr adds my results to my file it then goes to the app, and the dq2/dq8 result that I posted is all she has uploaded, so it's possible that there is more to come.

    This is all that is on my test results, I thought this was the ttg result?
  10. wildwitchnz
    Yes I think I will do that as I don't know what any of it means. Thanks so much for giving me your help, I appreciate it .

    I don't know? I'm very confused. Is the dq2/dq8 the genetic test? The one where I got the four '||||' lines? If so, then I guess maybe my Dr has done both? The antibody test is what's written on the blood test form, so I'm unsure what's what I'm sorry 🤷🤦 are you saying that the four '||||' are positive genetic markers?

    So I've had digestive issues for years, constant 'flare ups', always stress or anxiety related, and always been told by Drs that it's IBS. Recently, it got really bad, and I'm wondering, as you said it takes some kind of stress event, I injured my arm at work and had to go on ACC, which was hugely stressful financially, my boss was, and is, a not nice person...

    This was a test orderded by my Dr, the blood test form says "Coeliac antibodies (TTG's). It was sent to Medlab Central at the hospital

    Are those four '||||' lines genetic markers? There was nothing else in the report other than that screenshot I posted So those four lines are genetic markers? This is the result from the blood test I had done, is there more blood tests I should have done now? Sorry I'm just really confused!
  15. wildwitchnz
    This is all that came back as a result and I don't know what the 4 markers mean, that's what I am confused about, there's no numbers or anything, just those four '||||' lines? This was a blood test done as part of a general medical exam I had done, I had a lot of other blood tests done too, is there another one that I should be looking at as well? I...

    I recently had the dq2/dq8 test done and the rests have come back but I am super confused and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it means? I have attached a screenshot of the results. Many thanks in advance
