Actually, by giving up the foods you probably will lose the weight. I am thankful for your new doctor! This is wonderful news. I am sorry it was'nt something simpler, but at least it is not something that is way more serious. <BR/><BR/>May God bless you Sondra! <BR/><BR/>:0) sharon<BR/><BR/>Hey, that is cool that you are going to school!

It must be expensive. I am not going to have it done since it solved my problem; if things should change or worsen I guess I could consider it. let me know how much it costs. Also perhaps mine is a sensitivity and not an alergy? Alls I know is I am better!!!And if I eat any gluten I know it; even if the chef didn't realize it!!nannykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904490730187017812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140594490734352883.post-33641419310016804792008-02-20T19:03:00.000-08:002008-02-20T19:03:00.000-08:00Hi--I am wondering about the testing because I was...Hi--I am wondering about the testing because I was told the tests are not always accurate.I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF gene testing for this, even though it does and is carried by the genes. When did this testing become available. Alls I have heard is the following: <BR/><BR/>Celiac disease is a genetic disease, meaning it runs in families. Sometimes the disease is triggered—or becomes active for the first time—after surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Recently, researchers discovered that people with celiac disease have higher than normal levels of certain autoantibodies in their blood. Antibodies are protective proteins produced by the immune system in response to substances that the body perceives to be threatening. Autoantibodies are proteins that react against the body’s own molecules or tissues. To diagnose celiac disease, physicians will usually test blood to measure levels of<BR/><BR/>Immunoglobulin A (IgA) <BR/>anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTGA) <BR/>IgA anti-endomysium antibodies (AEA) <BR/>Before being tested, one should continue to eat a regular diet that includes foods with gluten, such as breads and pastas. If a person stops eating foods with gluten before being tested, the results may be negative for celiac disease even if celiac disease is actually present.<BR/><BR/>If the tests and symptoms suggest celiac disease, the doctor will perform a small bowel biopsy. During the biopsy, the doctor removes a tiny piece of tissue from the small intestine to check for damage to the villi. To obtain the tissue sample, the doctor eases a long, thin tube called an endoscope through the mouth and stomach into the small intestine. Using instruments passed through the endoscope, the doctor then takes the sample.<BR/><BR/>I have been so much better since I got off the gluten, but I never went for this test above because I did not want to go back on the gluten--I had suffered so much and now I am normal!!nannykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904490730187017812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140594490734352883.post-23295149650272670782008-02-20T17:30:00.000-08:002008-02-20T17:30:00.000-08:00I'd love any to know of any websites, books etc th...I'd love any to know of any websites, books etc that you would recommend. I'd bought a few books initially and none of them seemed too helpful. I've been visiting Mayo Clinics website and think I figured that what seems the most like my symptoms is <A HREF="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ankylosing-spondylitis/DS00483" REL="nofollow">Ankylosing spondylitis, a form of RA.</A><BR/><BR/>As per my blogs, I know I have too many.<BR/>I'm probably going to absorbs Kevin's into mine since he only posts a couple times a year, so that'll knock that one off the list, and then Crystal's favs is a temporary one. I'm just organizing all the lists I've made in various places. As for my health blog and adoption blog, I haven't looked at them in a long time. My randomness blog is about the only one I keep up. But you have that on your blog-roll, so look for me there.Celestial Freakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990416753776438475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140594490734352883.post-6644380997858958752008-02-20T17:26:00.000-08:002008-02-20T17:26:00.000-08:00Dear Sondra, you will be in my prayers!!

Do not say that you will have to LIVE with it for life...did God say that to you? <BR/><BR/> Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever, He changes NOT...so if He could raise people from the dead, restore the sight to the blind and have the lame walking around praising Him... well then I guess he can heal your new diagnosis or prevent it from causing anything that "they" would tell you will or might occur from it. <BR/><BR/> 'They' told me 17 years ago that my daughter would be born with severe problems, missing limbs, no spinal fusion, down syndrome, cleft palate...the list went on (due to some meds I was taking for my heart and being told I'd never be able to get pregnant)...well I got pregnant this one time and my pregnancy was FILLED with their 'wisdom.' Luckily my heart was set with God, we named her Isabella (means consecrated to God)...we walked in peace, though we should have lived in fear. She was born without ONE of the problems they kept telling us she would have. satan has a plan to steal your peace and joy...don't let him have it!<BR/><BR/>Sorry this is long...just wanted you to know so you could get on your battle gear. <BR/><BR/>*and I am not saying anything negative about your doctor...just remember who you belong to and how we are to pray...Your Kingdom come on earth AS IT IS in heaven -there is no sickness in His Kingdom-so seek Him and no that what the devil means for your harm, that God will use for your good.<BR/><BR/> And yes, people do get sick, and God allows it, but don't let fear with what could or may be control you in anyway. <BR/><BR/>I hope you hear my heart...I care about you Sondra!<BR/><BR/><BR/>big hug;<BR/>Kimmie<BR/>mama to 6<BR/>one homemade and 5 adoptedKimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462108880167593207noreply@blogger.com
