Hey, everyone!

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
 

So, thanks to the amazing people of this site I took their advice and convinced my doctor to order my Celiac Blood Panel and she did. She was so sweet and tested me for H. Pylori before we even discussed Celiac (which - I knew it wasn't it because I was on antibiotics last month!). She listened to everything I had to say, knew that I had to be eating gluten for the tests to be accurate, and even let me show her the entire Celiac panel and offered to add them before she found out the healthcare system already has a full Celiac panel on file for lab testing orders. Also, she added it to her lab testing favorites in the computer, too.

 

Anyways, I walked into to my local hospital this morning and the lab took three vials of blood for my testing. I am curious, though - it that going to be enough for the entire panel?

 

-tTG IgA and tTG IgG

-DGP IgA and DGP IgG

-EMA IgA

-Total Serum IgA

-AGA IgA and AGA IgG

 

Anyways, thanks everyone and here's to finding out my results soon!

 

Update (9/23/14): Called my doctor's office and they have my results in! They've been having issues with getting results, so I had to wait till this week for an appointment anyways. Tomorrow is the big day - I find out. Will get help tomorrow evening from everyone here :)

Great to hear your doctor was so open with the testing! Three vials should be good, let us know what it comes back as!

How are you doing? Did your results show positive for celiac? If so is the doctor having you go through an endo now as well?

No, actually, the results showed negative with a verrrrrrry slightly possible weak positive for transglutaminase. But, my doctor is in the process of referring me to a g.i doctor anyways (thank goodness!). I'm also possibly IgA deficient because of my thyroid so I'm going into an endocrinologist next week.

Thanks so much for asking, too! :D
