    Personally I don't think it's a waiter's job to "get suspicious" about orders. The restaurant should either be able to do gluten-free meals or not, and should simply provide a gluten-free order, or not--in which case they should explain exactly why they can't provide the gluten-free order. It should make zero difference if someone orders a gluten-free...

    This article may be helpful, but be sure not to go gluten-free until you find out whether or not your doctor wants you to do a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis:

    You DGP results, which are the best tests available, are high positive, so it looks like you likely have celiac disease. Many doctors are diagnosing celiac disease via blood tests alone, however, your doctor may also want you to do a endoscope/biopsy to confirm it. Normally you need to keep eating gluten until that part is finished, so be sure to consult...

    I think they turn around results quickly, and you should know within a week.

    There is research which shows that cow's milk (casein) can also cause an increase in the ttg levels to those who are sensitive to it. This happened to the patient in a story we published today: and here is the research on this: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2341287918301601

    It's interesting that medicinal clay is attributed to having anti-inflammatory effects. I wonder it that's true?

    @knitty kitty this is very interesting, and we'll do a summary of this research: The patient in this new article we published today also experienced high ttg until they also eliminated dairy:

    It’s strange that your villi recovered but you still have high antibody levels. You didn’t mention your symptoms...are you still having symptoms consistent with gluten exposure? I was thinking that perhaps you could go grain-free for a time, then retest, but this is not easy to do.

    I am a side sleeper but you can sleep on your sides or back. It has a bamboo frame inside and is slightly flexible. It gets more flexible with age, and can last about 5-10 years. I got mine at a day market in Taiwan where the are referred to as traditional pillows, almost everybody used to use them, but many now use Western pillows.

    Please share your testing experience with us.

    This thread is inspiring! The general belief is that if celiacs go gluten-free and eat a well-balanced diet (replace the fiber missing from the wheat you subtracted), they should have normal life spans. I would add that they will have much longer life spans because they treated a very dangerous disease. Yet I still have a cousin who have this and won’t g...

    Yes on the feathers...and bones...I’ve never tried it, so can’t vouch vor it as a delicacy, Fresh duck eggs are great, and are almost always free range.

    Perhaps be sure your brown rice is not the culprit. Although it’s unlikely, grains can be cross contaminated in areas where they package them, during shipping from the fields, etc. If possible use a brand that says Gluten-Free on it or even better certified gluten-free.

    For me it took a combination of the gluten-free diet and using a traditional Chinese bamboo pillow. It turns out that most cultures did not have soft pillows, especially when you look 100 years back and earlier. For hundreds of years the Chinese have used bamboo pillows which are much harder. Here is a picture of mine. It took me about 2 to 3 months to get...

    I too had chicken egg intolerance for a few years before and after my diagnosis. I could tolerate duck eggs with no issues. The can be found at farmer’s markets and Asian supermarkets, but if you get them at the latter beware that the also sell them with a developed embryo inside (a delicacy in parts of Asia, they are normally marked with a red Sharpie m...

    It sound like you’ve eliminated processed foods and looked closely at your diet for sources of possible contamination. Have you looked at your lotions, cosmetics, conditioners, shampoos, etc. for wheat? Also, do you ever eat outside your home, especially food from restaurants?

    On the ttIgA does it show the markers for normal, and the high mark? Each lab seems to have their own scale, so it would be helpful to have this.

    It's a bit depressing hearing that after 25 years of hard work on this site, that the best some doctors can do when you're diagnosed is to tell you not to eat gluten, which is exactly what they told when I got diagnosed. Back then there was basically zero information on the Internet about celiac disease. At least now there is a lot of info online, but given...

    Also, 48 hours on a gluten-free diet isn’t nearly long enough to eliminate symptoms caused by gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. With celiac disease full healing can take up to two years, depending on the gut damage level. I do remember raw garlic causing me issues during my healing time frame, but I could eat it after. Keep a food diary and you m...

    I agree, they normally do a ttg test as well, is that the only test that was done?
  24. Scott Adams
    I would only add that you should really put in more effort to make sure you’re 100% gluten-free. If gluten is your issue, then this is the only way to know for sure. It should relieve your symptoms.

    My symptoms included severe knots in my shoulder and neck muscles that often caused bad stiff necks, and this would sometimes cause a pinched nerve in my neck which included tingling sensations that shot from my right shoulder to the top of my head. I did get an MRI done on this, but they only found a compressed disk in my neck. After years of being gluten...
