Blood Test Results

I got these results a couple of weeks ago...EGD with biopsy done last Friday to confirm.

 

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA = 22
IMMUNOGLOBULIN A = 250
ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TITER = Positive
ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY TITER = 1:40
 
My 7 yr old son has celiac, so I imagine he "got" it from me genetically.
 
I also had a colonoscopy done on Friday which determined I have ulcerative colitis. I am being treated for that specifically, and have since started a gluten-free diet like my son based on my blood test results.
 
Just introducing myself to the online community here. Thanks for being here!

Thanks! I am hopeful. I am honestly grateful that the diagnosis wasn't worse.

So true!  At least it is something that won't require life long meds like so many autoimmune problems do. Celiac can be very bad, but as you said, it could be much worse.  :)

Well, the ulcerative colitis I was also diagnosed with will require lifelong meds! However, the worse I was thinking of was cancer or crohns disease (though ulcerative colitis and crohns are closely related, but UC only affects the lower intestine). I'll take lifelong meds and adjusted diet over chemo or radiation therapy!

Welcome, I wasn't clear if you are positive for celiac or still waiting for a definitive answer on that.  I am glad for a disease that does not take medication, but only diet.  Who Knows, though, what will happen for you?  Best wishes for your healing.

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
