    Hi Ohokaycool, Thanks for sharing your experience. My experience may not be that different. They were able to biopsy my small intestine from both ends of the small intestine. Both did not show difinitive signs of celiac. The doctor at this time said I may still be celiac so to follow a gluten free diet which I did. My symptoms became progressively worse...

    Hi Nolev, Thanks for sharing your diagnosis. I do think it is very likely to be celiac that I have. I am mostly hoping that it is the only issue I have. Hi cycling lady, You give some very valid advice. My doctor said that Crohn's in the small bowel was atypical and rare but it still can happen. I really hope things improve for me on a gluten...

    Hi Gemini, Thanks for clearing up what the IGA test is for. I may need to go get that test completed in the future. Also good to know heart complications could be related to celiac.

    Hi Emma6, Thanks for your suggestions. I thought the total IGA was either the same as the TTG IGA or the anti-gliadin IGA both of which were in the normal ranges.

    Thanks for the clarity. Is there anyone else out there that had a normal TTG IGA but a high TTG IGG? Through searching the forum I have found a couple cases but if there are any others it would be comforting to know. I am scheduled to have a cardiac stress test later today to determine if it would be safe to be put to sleep for the biopsy. I am leaning...

    Hi GFinDC, Thanks for your post. I have heard of Hashimotos disease as my Cousin has it. She dealt with weight gain and I never realized it could cause weight loss. I have had two blood tests for thyroid. One was a more detailed test and the other had only the TSH levels. Both tests came back in the normal ranges. The cardiologist also took a look...

    Hi everyone, This is my first post so bear with me. I have been lurking and reading many helpful posts but was hoping to share my current situation and ask for advice. Around 2 months ago I got what I thought was the flu. I had a fever, aches, diarrhoea and an odd fast heart rate with a bounding pulse. I also developed high blood pressure for the...
