  1. In short - yes - you have risk factors for developing Celiac disease. What are you trying to find out? What are your goals?
  2. This article and the research you did is truly a gift to the Celiac community. Thank you! Love the science behind it and the references. How can the banana be omitted from the recipe? I prefer no banana flavor in the finished product.
  3. @cristiana, Hi! Thank you. This is helpful information. My Ttg has been low, but I did have a level of DGP recently that was barely positive and suggestive of the need to follow up for refectory celiac. However, a biopsy done near that time was totally clear. How did you get rid of your reflux from the antibiotics? Funny you mention that because...
  4. I had a colonoscopy long ago, when I was first diagnosed. Haven't had one since. I had antibody test for Crohn's disease - they were clear. I have not had any pancreatic function tests other than serum lipase/amylase, though CT/Ultrasound are clear. I have not had any Spleen function tests, what would those be? I had an ultrasounds to look for gallstones...
  5. Yes, biopsies of the Duodenum, Esophagus & Stomach were all normal.
  6. I should also mention that a recent EGD was completely clear, no signs of any damage to esophagus, stomach or small intestine. Also, what I thought was Beau's lines wasn't really - it was from me pushing down on my nail beds. My fingernails look mostly normal. It's the ongoing Left Upper Quadrant pain that is still bothersome.
  7. 7 years later I still have this. Wondering if anyone else can relate to this or offer any advice? :)
  8. That's interesting, but I believe they are not looking at serum CD57 levels - they are looking at levels in intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), lamina propria (LP) lymphocytes, and glands. In the study I linked above, they look at serum CD57 levels and find them to be low in several autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately, they did not review Celiac disease...
  9. Does anyone have any information about CD57 NK cells in Celiac patients? I am trying to understand if my levels are normal and if there is anything I should do or can do to correct. I had a low lab test (CD8-CD57+ Lymphs 1.4% (ref 2.0-17.0), 15 Abs (ref 60-360)) and am concerned about my ability to fight disease and cancer with these readings. A doctor...
  10. What did you figure out with this? Does anyone else also experience this? I do.
  11. What about the facility where it is processed? Do they sample the product to ensure it is indeed Gluten Free?
  12. I did try eliminating Soy for awhile. I had an IGg ELISA Food Allergy test done that showed some sensitivities to a variety of foods, so I I actually eliminated ALL of the following for 3-5 months (depending on the severity of the results), and then reintroduced them, one per week. I did in general feel better after the many months I was off of all of...
  13. I had an MRI of my thoracic spine - which came out clear. X-rays and exam showed some scoliosis, but nothing major. YES - I do have those pain points running along both sides of the spine - many spots along my spine I can push on and feel quite a bit of pain. Thankfully my thighs and hips do not hurt. Thanks for your message, if you have...
  14. My Celiac Diagnosis: - Diagnosed with Celiac Disease by an off-the charts tTg (Tissue transglutaminase) test, inflammation in my duodenum, and a small intestinal biopsy. - Symptoms were primarily neurological (tingling & numbness in my toes, fingers, head, paresthesia in my face). - Also had upper left quadrant pain - however my GI doc said that...
  15. Bridget, How are you doing now? Any clarity on what caused the problem? I am having these exact same challenges - left upper quadrant abdominal pain and also "brusing" pain all over - my entire ribcage and most of my back is quite tender.
  16. I too have celiac disease and also have pain that seems to come from just below or near the bottom of my left side rib cage - and sometimes the right as well. It seems to be aggravated by driving - that makes it the worst. Sitting upright for long periods of time also effects it. If I am up and moving around all day, I generally feel fine. Any thoughts...
