Blood Test Result

I admit I am a TOTAL newbie to this so thank you in advance for your patience! :) I am confirmed Hasimoto and my dr ordered a Celiac panel test which consists of tTH and Iga.  My Iga came out today at 282 (range is 70-310). The tTH is not yet in.  What the heck does this IGA test mean/do? It looks like it is in the higher normal range - so is that a good sign?  Googled all over the place and could not find anything definitive. Seems like the Iga is a confirmation only of whether there could be a false negative result to be on the look out for? Not expecting tTH back till next week so I am anxious. Not sure of these symptoms are Hashimoto still or celiacs. B12 (and Vit D) levels initially were 18 with the normal range STARTING at 32 (no odd diet to substantiate why it is so low). Started on shots and feeling a bit better. 50000/wk D Vit.

 

Any insight you have would really be appreciated. Waiting is a very hard thing to do! :unsure:

Welcome!

 

The Total Serum IgA is simply a control test to assure that you have enough IgA to assure the IgA based celiac antibody tests are as accurate as possible.  Let us know when you get your other results...many of us can answer testing questions.

 

Yes, malabsorption of nutrients can be caused by Celiac Disease.

 

Hashimoto's is strongly linked with Celiac Disease. 

 

Patience is tough...but do wait to remove gluten until you receive your blood results as more testing may be necessary -- it is important to keep ingesting gluten until all celiac testing is complete.

 

Hang in there :)

These antibody tests are indeed negative for Celiac Disease.  We're you ingesting gluten daily when they were run?  

 

How long have you been diagnosed with Hashimoto's?  

 

In your first post you mentioned symptoms - if you list your symptoms, we have several members very knowledgeable on thyroid issues.

 

Hang in there :)

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?
