T Girl,

:iagree: with Leah. If your doctor said that ("She said celiac patients are IgA deficient and if I'm not then I am not deficient."), she's really confused. First, only about 1 in 300 celiacs are IgA deficient (like the rest of the general population), and second, even if they were, that would be totally irrelevant in your case, because while the celiac screening tests can diagnose celiac disease, they absolutely cannot reliably rule it out, so the test would be worthless for any claims about selective IgA deficiency.

She apparently either has a vivid imagination, or she slept through her classes whenever the immune system was being discussed. :lol:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Hi Tracey,
I was out of town and not paying attention to the posts as much as I would have liked, so I missed yours! I have sent you a private message. We should make a connection. The resources in our town are limited, but I have found some here and I have found some success in nearby Grand Rapids. Would love to talk to you!
