    The Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase levels she shows, if it were a blood test, does indicate celiac disease. Stool testing is not the norm, but I know Dr. Fine and do think that his testing will show gluten sensitivity. If you are opposed to blood tests or endoscopy to follow up to gather more information about her condition, then it's fine to just try out a...

    That is a big drop for just a few months, so you are on the right track. Rice should not elevate your TTG or other gliadin antibody levels, and is safe for celiacs.

    Those ingredients are gluten-free. These lists might be helpful:

    I should be getting both of my kids tested each year, but I've only had them tested twice in the last 6 years. My daughter went gluten-free, but my son eats gluten and claims to be fine, and doesn't want to be tested every year (he's 20).

    Recent studies have shown that most restaurant food contains traces of gluten, even if you order off of the "gluten-free" menu. Do you eat out very often, if so, this is the likely source of contamination. I take AN-PEP enzymes when I eat out (gliadinX which is a sponsor here), but in your case you may want to not eat out at all for a few months to get your...

    More and more celiac disease is being diagnosed with blood tests only, which are very accurate if a full blood panel is done: It's possible you won't need an endoscopy at all, so get the blood test results and feel free to share them with us. Why not also follow your doctor's advice and get the genetic test as well? This could be done at the same...

    Why not just get a celiac disease blood panel? It's certainly possible his symptoms are caused by gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, but the only way to find out would be to test for it:

    Did you get a blood panel for celiac disease? This is the first step before a biopsy, and I recommend doing it before going 100% gluten-free. You need to be eating gluten daily for at least two weeks before an endoscopy, and 6 weeks before a blood test. Nearly all of your symptoms could be directly related to undiagnosed celiac disease, and/or gluten...

    It seems like you could get mineral deficiencies from drinking only distilled water, as many minerals are in tap water.

    It's frustrating that you endured extra years suffering, which some simple tests could have been done years ago to figure this out. Your story reinforces the idea that the only person who will truly look after your health is yourself, and not necessarily doctors. They are often too busy to really focus on you, or are missing the symptoms and key knowledge...

    When I started taking magnesium citrate, and I use Nature Made from Costco as it is priced much better than most, I had to get used to it over a few weeks, during which I had to start and stop taking it a few times until my body got used to it, and the laxative effects went a way. It took me about a month to adjust to it.

    Any possibility all of the anti-vax hype surrounding this particular vaccine could have had something to do with this?

    The links in the article still work. When checking the status It says: To me it looks dead...most likely killed by the drug industry.

    Are you taking the test to see where your current antibody levels stand, perhaps to see if you are getting gluten in your diet? The test isn't really designed for that, but follow up tests can be helpful to see if your levels are dropping, which they should be. Do you eat outside your home? This is another common source of contamination.

    Are you by chance eating oats? Around 10% of celiacs cannot tolerate oats, even if they are gluten-free oats. Also, have you tried eliminating dairy?

    It hasn't gone anywhere yet, but we'll report on this should anything change.

    We made this correction...thank you!

    I've not heard of this being associated with celiac disease, but it's possible. Be sure to follow up with this with your doctor.

    You have a friend who got a knee brace to help cope with gluten sensitivity? Really?

    It’s possible that the diet will help normalize your thyroid issues, if they are caused by gluten sensitivity. I hope the diet works for you, and keep us posted on your progress.
  25. Scott Adams
    I agree and hope it’s a temporary condition, but nowadays having celiac isn’t so bad, at least in comparison to having it in the 90’s of before, where you’d be looked at like a space alien when you talked about it with almost anyone—and especially at restaurants!
