    Listen to Squirmingitch - she is our resident expert. She really knows her dh stuff! I don't know as much so I'll just wish you luck on finding answers fast.... and welcome to the board.

    When I first went gluten-free I lost about 10 lbs without doing a thing because of the inflammation departing. I got down to about 150lbs, which for a large framed 5'8" woman, isn't bad. Then about a year and a half ago I started gaining weight. I blamed it on the corticosteroids I had started but it continued after I stopped taking them. My guess is...

    LOL Good update. I'm glad it was nothing! Annoying that he caused you so much stress... Dud is right! LOL

    She only had one celiac disease test done, and that test, the tTG IgA, can miss up to 75% of celiacs. Plus she did not have the total serum IgA done, which is a must for determining if the IgA based celiacs tests (tTG IgA, DGP IgA, etc.) are accurate. Approximately 1 in 20 celiacs is deficient is IgA (compared to approx. 1 in 700 of the regular population...

    If she is not eating anything while there, or walking through a flour dust cloud, then it is most likely not celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS. for which there is no test. That disease and sensitivity are triggered by consuming gluten, meaning it has to get inside and onto your mucus membranes. Celiacs can handled normal baked goods...

    Yep! A trauma to the body can trigger celiac disease, and we all know pg is a bit of a trauma! LOL

    I get frustrated by those who are supposedly gluten-free but don't worry about the crumbs, or soy sauce, or eat the turkey stuffing because it looks so good. Those are the ones who get to me because they make it harder for people to take my needs seriously, since they don't take it seriously themselves. If they want to eat gluten-lite, that's fine, but...

    I doubt there would be a risk of cc... I suppose it could be possible. If you are worried, wipe the tip of the tube before using it.

    Yep, some foods just bother some people. For me, it is raw apples and pears. It causes a raw strong pain that feels like gluten would, but it is a completely unrelated reaction. It's just a food that doesn't agree with me. I too think it's odd that a nutritionist would warn you about grapes unless you had already complained that grapes bother you?

    I agree that your meals are high in starches (which gets changed to sugar in the body) and that will cause your blood sugar to go up and down dramatically. It sounds like hypoglycemia to me too, perhaps being affected by low blood pressure too. Perhaps switch to whole or 2% milk, get yogurt at 9% fat instead of 1-2%, and try adding more meats or nuts so...

    I hear you! If I drink wine I turn into Rudolf within minutes!

    I made that same mistake a year ago too. I hope you feel better.

    I agree. If there was no gluten in sourdough it wouldn't have that typical springy bread texture. There's gluten in it. Don't be fooled.

    Good luck!

    I'm glad nothing is too high for you, but that almost works against you because nothing is as clear cut. I hope that MRI goes well and there is no sign of a pituitary adenoma. Let me know how the OGTT GH suppression test and the MRI goes. I hope they clear you of any problems and your abnormal labs were just an unexplained blip like mine.
