This seems to come up a fair amount, thus I thought it might be helpful to have a collection of relevant information all in one spot. [if you are only looking to interpret your results, skip down to the asterisks.] Per current knowledge, if you do not possess any of the celiac genes you are not considered to be at risk for developing the disease at any... -
My absolute pleasure. This board is amazing and such a huge source of information, support and guidance. So grateful it exists! Welcome to the fold.

I'm sorry to hear that you are getting more sensitive to gluten, though that seems to be par for the course for those of us with celiac or NCGI. Personally, I would not (and did not, for that matter) go back on gluten for the tests because my quality of life is so much diminished. I want to spend as much time of my life feeling good! I figure as testing...

Thanks! I am happy that it could help. @Cindy, having the genes plus symptoms can only give cause for further investigation via blood test and/or endoscopic biopsy. Both of those would require you to remain on gluten for accurate results. If you have family members with celiac or other kinds of autoimmune diseases, especially Type 1 diabetes and Hashimoto...

Hi Cindy, All of the above are variations of what are considered the "celiac genes" (HLA-DQ2, -DQ8 and -DQ7). HLA-DQB1 *0201 + HLA-DQA1 *0501 make up the HLA-DQ2.5 haplotype. This is the most common haplotype in celiac disease and is said to confer the "most" risk. However, this haplotype is also generally pretty common across the U.S. (and it...

Hi all, I'm adding more pictures now that my rash has developed some consistency. I get it on my upper back/shoulders, buttocks (not amused ), stomach, jaw line and hairline. Some more recent-ish photos - the rash hasn't changed much - varies in severity (these pics are medium severity). Still not dx'd but Celiac is suspected (I think?). - I always...

My cycle changed a few months after I went gluten-free; it got worse before it got better. Now, at almost a year, my period is so much easier to handle. It could be that your body is adjusting because you are beginning to absorb more nutrients?

Alrighty

I used to get those all the time...but mostly on my arms. The ones on my abdomen used to be right around my belly button

Ok, maybe not!

Maybe GERD? We all know that's related.

Hi, I saw that you visited my profile. I read your post today where you were frustrated and confused. I hope that things get better for you.

Gluten Like Reaction To Sorghum?
Ninja replied to birdie22's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've had issues with the Pamela's flours, too! I've only eaten the bread flour and pancake mix both of which bothered me. (the pancake mix does not have sorghum but it does have buttermilk and milk is definitely an issue for me). -
I think our doctors have gone too far with the gut–head connection...

And that's BEFORE they walk in and ask, "So how are you?"

My brother was very colicky as a baby, so much so that my mother decided to take him to the doctor. The doctor's advice? Don't bring him on your good carpets.

I am happy I could help in any way. You're doing a great job learning the ropes and being proactive about your health. You should be very proud of yourself!! IH
