    The endoscopy is easy peasy. They put you under, you wake up and go home.

    The full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA You have to be eating gluten daily for 12 weeks before the blood test. A positive on any one blood test should lead to a gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy /biopsies to confirm a celiac diagnosis. I believeyou are missinf some blood tests.

    Each lab has their own tests. So the reference ranges for Mayo are unrelated to the ranges for your lab.

    You should get copies of your test results. It only takes one positive on the blood tests to lead to an endoscopy/biopsies being done to confirm celiac. If you were only a few points over the normal range then I could see a false positive (not a doc). full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA You have to...

    Only your biopsy results can show how bad your celiac is. After the biopsy you would go gluten free.

    Maybe give your mom some safe food ideas like potatoes with butter, cheese and bacon. Potatoes, ham and cabbage can be boiled in a pot if you can have those things. If you're 16 you can get a part time job and buy some gluten free equivalents like pasta and bread.

    Here is how to order your own celiac test online: The full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA You can either have a gastroenterologist order the full celiac panel plus whatever else they typically test for, or you can order your own test at a site like walkinlab.com. At walkinlab.com it's called the celiac...

    To be blunt, you cannot change the elderly's ways. You have to treat that kitchen as if it is covered every inch in flour. All the time. So if you want to make food for yourself you're going have to clean a section of the counter and then do as Ennis says and put down some parchment paper and use it as a work surface. If you're planning on staying in that...

    The definition of a person with silent celiac is a person with villi damage that doesn't feel symptoms.

    I buy Proactiv 30 moisturizer. Probably not cheap, but no scent. Perfume gives me a headache.

    If you have an abnormal small bowel biopsy you absolutely have to go gluten free. Otherwise you can develop serious issues like cancer.

    A positive on any one blood test should lead to a gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy /biopsies to confirm a celiac diagnosis.

    If you have celiac the blood test will give you baseline numbers. After going gluten free subsequent blood tests should show your celiac numbers going down.
  17. tessa25
    In your position, if celiac testing was done then I would go celiac strict gluten free for a few months and check the blood test numbers again to see if start going down.

    I have been accused of being too blunt so if I offend sorry in advance. It's up to you how easy maintaining the diet is. Where I live it seems that everybody is either on one diet or another so it's very easy here as it's just another diet. And there are gluten-free equivalents that taste very good for most things or there is a good recipe out there. findmeglutenfree...

    Canyon Bakehouse is the current one to beat. Fantastic bagels along with white, rye (fake), multigrain bread.

    When you have the rash call the dermatologist office and tell them you want to schedule an appointment to get a rash biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis. Making a doctors appointment for a specific thing has always worked for me. If you want to do the blood test for celiac disease then call a gastroenterologist office and tell them you want to make...

    It looks like you were given the screening test for celiac (TTG IGA). The results came up normal. The full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA You have to be eating gluten daily for 12 weeks before the blood test. A positive on any one blood test should lead to a gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy /biopsies...

    It only takes a positive on one celiac test to result in an endoscopy/biopsies being done by a GI. She has one positive so if it were me I'd find a GI to do an endoscopy/biopsies.

    The full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA It's up to you whether you test the rest.
  24. tessa25
    There are several blood tests. You have to be eating gluten daily for 12 weeks before the blood test. You only need a positive on one blood test to result in a GI doing the endoscopy/biopsies. You probably didn't do the full celiac panel. Since the doc saw flattened villi he's probably thinking the biopsies will confirm the flattened villi and you'll have...

    You should get copies of all of your tests. The full celiac panel includes: TTG IGA TTG IGG DGP IGA DGP IGG EMA IGA You have to be eating gluten daily for 12 weeks before the blood test.
