My spouse was eating grain free when first diagnosed. To gain weight, he prioritized protein and tried to increase the amount of protein he ate each week by 5 grams.

[i]The stool anti-TTG is a better test for celiac, but I haven't seen many people on the board come up with anti-TTG from Enterolab[/i] Do you mean to say that you haven't seen many positive results from Enterolab on this particular test? Is this the test you are talking about - Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IGA Why is this test better...

5Fast food - 5 guys - they only thing on their menu - french fries. I've been told that the fryer is not necessarily dedicated at nice restaurants too - Cantina Laredo - which lists tortilla chips on the gluten free menu. But the wait staff told me that they might throw in a wheat chip every so often. I've written Cantina Laredo, but no response.
