Standardizing Celiac Disease Diagnostics
plumbago commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Diagnosis, Testing & Treatment
I was rather surprised to go back and look at my blood test results because none of them included a total IgA. But then, looking at the lab results from my original celiac disease diagnosis over 10 years ago, I see the reason for that. Part of the standard verbiage in that report says: "Between 2-3% of Celiac patients have selective IgA deficiency. If the... -

Gluten Free Bread
plumbago replied to Camorrison56's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Boar's Head is good when I occasionally buy it. But right now - Sept 2024 - I would be extra careful since they found listeria in their meat plants. Check to see if the packages in your area are affected. -

There were a lot of things left out, necessarily, of a one hour discussion. I bet he'd have addressed it had one of their participants asked. It was still a worthwhile discussion. Plumbago

What I really liked about this video - and thank you so much for posting it - is that he/they talked about what happens to someone vis a vis their celiac disease who is on a gluten-free diet, also active vs inactive celiac disease, and potential celiac disease. These are things that I've been very much wanting to discuss forever. I have many other questions...

That is the goal of a gluten-free diet, @SunshineFace. But there is another possibility that you did not list, which is that no damage has occurred yet, and it may be a matter of time. However, if in your scenario, the EGD you reference occurred in someone previously diagnosed with celiac disease who had been eating gluten-free for some time, then...

I was drafting a reply when trents' reply came in, and I concur with everything he says. I was going to say, @jayjays that, based on what you wrote, it seems that the sequence of testing events was not correct. You need to still be eating gluten even for the blood tests. If your goal is to find out if you have Celiac, then that is what you need to do...

I had to get revaccinated after hep b labs drawn showed no immunity. Plumbago

Hi @KsBlonde, Honestly, I've never even thought about gluten in IV medications (if your concern is indeed that). I seriously doubt is something to be concerned about. I am a nurse who regularly receives vaccines and occasionally IV anesthesia - ie, recently for an EGD/colo. I didn't even think to ask about it! And not that you asked, but I'm not...

Blood results

@Boolka, Nothing attached, btw. -
Thanks Scott. I was a little confused about what's going on in the EU. It does seem like they're gonna be revisiting some part of that in the Fall, but then it says they've renewed it 10 years. I think we probably need someone close to the situation to clarify that.

Thanks Gail! It's great to know about this, but it will be important to verify that they are effective and accurate, so please do check back in with any updated info you have. I'm not surprised about the GI staff. There's a lot of money in our colons, and they need to be scoped to get it out. IOW, I don't think there's much real curiosity about the conditions...

Is food science babe any better? I see that many Jovial products claim they're organic. Is having glyphosate still ok if a product is to be called organic?
-
It's too bad that MAA has an anti-vax somewhat conspiratorial nature background. This makes me think twice. However, if you look at the study, it does break down the amount of glycophate found in the foods and compares them with foods that had none or little.

I google-news'ed the two brands and found nothing. Good to hear there's a lawsuit. About the FDA and whether or not they know, I went to the web site of Moms Across America and found this: "Moms Across America has reported these violations to the FDA and we will report back on the steps that will be taken."
-
That wouldn't sit right with me either. I'm wondering if you can get a second opinion? Meaning - I guess - you'd need to call the doctor's office very quickly to tell them not to dispose of the specimens (they would have to call the pathologist, I'd guess) and to have them read by another pathologist. I'm just tossing that out as a possible idea, I don't...
