Anyone know? The test just said "gliadin ab : positive." I'm trying to figure out if that's the older, more outdated test, or if that's the new test. Thank you lovely folks.

I *think* your test was the old Anitigliadin antibodies (AGA) test with tests for a gluten sensitivity. It is thought by some doctors that the AGA tests detect gluten sensitivity in both celiacs and in Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitive (NCGS) folks. The DGP tests will show intestinal villi damage which happens in celiac disease only. That link myjade posted is a good one.

 

The AGA tests aren't very sensitive , it can miss a fair number of people, so it is used less. This report on pages 11-12 discusses the tests: Open Original Shared Link

 

If your test was the AGA, you have a gluten sensitivity, and it is caused by celiac disease or possibly NCGS; the main treatment is eating gluten-free for life. If your tests was the DGP, then you have a gluten sensitivity caused by celiac disease, and the treatment is eating gluten-free for life. Either way, welcome to the club.  ;)

 

Perhaps contact the lab with your question and they can clear up which test it was for you.  Best wishes.

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      Family education

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      I have never been tested for tTg 6 antibodies but I will certainly do that next time I'm at the doc's.  Maybe there's a home test kit for that?  I drink lactose free milk and seem to be ok so I'm probably not a casein case but...who knows?!

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I take Life Extension brand Mega Benfotiamine, (250 mg with each of two meals) and Maxlife Natural TTFD-B1 Max Thiamine (100 mg).   I try to take my Benfotiamine and TTFD before four pm, otherwise I have so much energy, it can be hard to fall asleep.
