TTG means Tissue Tranglutamase (sp?). It is a Celiac test. If you have TTG IgA and IgG elevated it can indicate Celiac.

I know what you mean about the sacrifice of giving up Gluten. It was so hard to live like that when I did it. I was actually getting depressed because I couldn't eat my normal foods. And forget about eating out, that is near impossible. You can't trust eating out because they might contaminate your food. I just couldn't deal with it all, while trying to get onto meds, and deal with the fact that I have this debilitating condition. I work full time too and have a family to take care of. It was alot of work trying to eat gluten free....and when I needed a break, I couldn't even go out to eat. I don't mean to discourage you, if you feel you need to try it then you should do it. Maybe it would really help you. I do think that you need to give it at least 6 months. I may do it again next spring, after I take my planned vacation to England. But it does take planning to do it.

Anyhow, just wanted to say I know how you feel.
