  • @BeYeaY - you could be speaking about anti-transglutaminase (tTG), a common celiac test. Unfortunately many doctors are stuck in an outdated model of celiac disease and think that with no diarrhea you couldn't have it - that is wrong.

    I cannot diagnose you over the internet but if your tTG test truly was positive 10 years ago then you should be gluten-free. You could try it and see how you feel after 30 days. Contact me at 408-733-0400 for a free consultation if you'd like more help.

  • Ummm...since when did former Miss America's become doctors? Gluten may cloud my brain, but I know jaw-dropping beauty when I see it.

  • @singingmaya it's great to be GF and the foods are great. even cookie mix......sure is good to not have pain with each meal after decades, you are not the only one where it took years to find out. be well and enjoy.

  • my uncle died some years back, he had celiac (and colon cancer) but for your medical update, doctor told him he did not have complete musculature in his abdomen. surprised the surgeon, wonder if it might go with celiac gene????? signed, just glad gut pain is gone I work out but will not have victoria's secret abs.

  • P.S. toned bod but I do not expect to ever have victoria's secret abs, just glad my gut feels well. thank you for mentioning this sensitive topic.

  • @BeYeaY not so, they have redefined that. my gut works now since Gluten Free and it was very sluggish for decades. I am so happy to be Gluten Free.

  • thank you. I get what you are saying. pain is gone since GF. but I do not know if that will be solved. took me 50 years to figure it out, it was not the milk......signed, love my waffle iron.
