    This comes from the FDA. It’s no surprise that Gluten Free labeled foods test higher than they should. They aren’t required to test and when they do get caught it is a slap on the wrist and maybe a fine. We need gluten listed as an allergen like 80+ other countries. It’s pretty much the honor system. Are manufacturers required to test for gluten to ma...

    Of course it depends on where you look and research. My guess is they really don’t know. My gastroenterologist told me TTG absolutely does not diagnose celiac.

    I’m saying they may have been misdiagnosed and actually have something else.

    As many as 5% test false positive on the TTG. That is why it is followed up by an EMA. We always ran a follow up on any antibody test in the lab. You wouldn’t believe how many false positive HIVs we had on the elisa and followed up with a western blot and it was negative. Never diagnose based on a TTG. Especially low. The same illnesses that cause false p...

    Cheaper than a scope.

    It’s perfectly fine. He was commenting on the post I made. I was only saying that the link to cancer in celiacs may not be a direct link. It could be the processed gluten free foods we eat. The gluten free processed food could be the reason we have a higher risk of cancer. (According to their study) Many other studies say something different. 🙂

    That’s just me. It’s full of junk. I wasn’t much of a carb eater to begin with so the diet has been easy for me. My biggest worries come from accidentally getting it. Knowing the link between celiacs and diabetes I just stay away from it. If someone needs it to feel better mentally I say go for it.

    No doubt it’s bad. Sugar feeds it all. From what I can tell the gluten free options for are even worse than the regular. I haven’t bought a single loaf of gluten free bread or crackers. I did buy gluten free macaroni and cheese once. I’d rather not have it. I’ll stick to the meat, fruit and vegetables and things that don’t have it but I won’t buy the glu...

    I think there is a possibility that the processed gluten free replacements could be causing the cancers. Gluten free bread, crackers and all of the other food we eat to feel normal is usually full of junk to make it taste good and also is usually higher in calories and sugar. Those who opt for whole foods may not have this issue. Just a theory.

    I agree. The studies I’ve read say colorectal cancer is actually lower in celiacs. Also the chances are small in the general population. The chances may be slightly higher in celiac but still not likely. It’s very frustrating and celiac diagnosis and treatment is a total crap storm. One study says one thing and another completely contradicts it. That tel...

    It’s more accurate, more time consuming and more expensive. It was replaced by the TTG because it’s cheaper and faster. Coming from an old co worker from the lab. My levels weren’t 10 times just 10 over the limit. Mild villous blunting was on the pathology report. It didn’t give a level. My gi told me she thought 3A marsh score but it wasn’t given. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ei...

    Not 10xs. The cutoff was 15 I think. Mine was 25.

    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022175920302040 An EMA should always follow a positive TTG. Lab corp doesn’t do this but quest labs automatically ran an EMA. Quest put a note saying inconclusive since one was positive and one was negative.
