<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I recently had a blood test, which showed anti-gladian antibody IgG antibodies which were mildly elevated at 12 EIA Units". It also showed anti-endomysial antibodies of the IgA variety which had a "positive titer of 1:160". However, my anti gladian antibodies were within normal limits. About 12 years ago I developed HF, which I treated with dapsone. About 2 years ago the HF disappeared. I have been symptom free since that time with no dapsone. In 1991 I had an intestinal biposy which showed "partial villous blunting". I have never had any symptoms of celiac disease. However, I am concerned about the risk of lymphoma. One doctor has suggested that I go on a gluten free diet to lessen this risk despite the absense of celiac symptoms. I would appreciate comments and suggestions. I would also appreciate references to the literature. -- Marshall I Nathan Tel: 612-625-2319 Department of Electrical Engineering FAX: 612-625-4583 University of Minnesota email: [log in to unmask] 200 Union St., SE Minneapolis, MN 55455
