I had an endoscopy to confirm, and all the symptoms but was normal on the IGA antibody test. That does happen sometimes, although rare, and I was an example of that. My daughter has the exact same thing.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the post! Thanks for your comment.

I was a little confused by the section in your post where you said you were diagnosed with celiac disease by DNA blood test. It’s my understanding that this test, which I think is the one I had, just shows that you have the gene for celiac disease but not that you have it. I was told by my doctor that you have to have the IGA antibodies (the normal screening test) and conclusive findings from an endoscopy to be diagnosed with celiac disease. People with the gene for celiac have a predisposition for the disease but don’t always get it and may have an intolerance for gluten.

Nancy,

You are too sweet! I buy SO Delicious products at Whole Foods and sometimes even at Walmart, although it’s a more limited selection. You might want to reach out to the brand and ask!

I am so glad you enjoyed the post! You’re always so encouraging!

Susan,

Oh, girl! You are NOT alone! Thank you for your comment! I hope you like the cereal and SunButter!

We always research the restaurants before we head out too. With the ones nearby, I end up finding something that works for me and just ordering it every time we go! Do you do that? 😂
We’ve also really come to appreciate restaurants that will work with me! Outback Steakhouse is a good one, as is Five Guys. When we travel, we’ve found Disney amazing, along with Ritz Carlton hotels and Oceania Cruises. When I’m in New York, I love to go to Friedmans(multiple locations). They can make anything on their menu GF. When they fix fried chicken for me, I think I’m in heaven!

Thanks again for your comment and for reading!

It is nice to know I am not the only one with numerous dietary challenges.

I am looking forward to trying the Catalina Maple Waffle cereal and SunButter!!

Yes, eating out is definitely a different experience. I am getting better at researching menus and contacting restaurants ahead of time to see if they can make accommodations, especially when I travel.

Thanks again for the knowledge you share!

That is safe advice! I once brought my homemade gluten-free pecan pie to the elaborate Thanksgiving Day dinner at our country club and no one dared say a word to me about it😁❤️
