Hi everyone,I'm very new to this. I'm being tested for celiac disease. Doctor said I definitely have a gluten allergy. So I got my test results from the doctors office today, still wait on lab quest results. I just don't under any of them, so if anyone could help that would be great.

test. Results. Range

tsh. 2.65. .50-6.00

Vb12. 311. 230-1050

Wbc. 13.9. High. 3.1-9.2

Rbc. 4.65. 3.1-9.2

Hgb. 14.9 gr. 11.5-16.1

Hct. 43.6% 34.5-47.8

Mcv. 93.8 cu miCr 82.6-95.8

Mch. 32.0 pico gr 27.9-32.9

Mchc. 34.1% 32.6-35.4

Rdw. 13.2% 11.4-14.6

Plt. 319. 140-350

MpV. 8.1. 7.0-10.6

Seg. 56% 45-75

Lymph. 39% 20-45

Mono. 0% 0-10

Band. 5% 0-5

The only thing I see is my Wbc count is high.

No celiac results here. A high WBC can indicate an infection, but we are not doctors here. I am sure your doctor will investigate further. Your thyroid could be off or normal. It is not a complete thyroid panel. Let us know your celiac results. Hopefully, they took a complete panel or a diagnosis can be missed.

I wish you well!

There isn't any such thing as a "gluten allergy".  You may test positive for a wheat allergy but you would most likely already know if that was true as the symptoms of an actual allergic reaction happen from immediately after ingestion to about 2 hours after.

 

That said, nothing in the bloodwork you posted is allergy testing.

Ok when I eat gluten, I very sick, first my stomach starts to hurt, i get bloated then the next I feel like I have the flu, my joints and muscle hurts so bad I can hardly move. I'm exhausted, I have a headache that will not go away, painful gas. Then the diarrhea starts. I'm like this for 4-5 days. It feels like I'm being slowly poisoned to death.

Sorry that you are not feeling well!

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder (like Lupus, Etc.) that is triggered by consuming gluten. It causes damage to the intestines and can produce up to 300 symptoms. Here is a link to the University of Chicago's celiac website that does a good job of covering all the basics:

Post the results of your celiac tests when you get them, along with the ranges (different labs have different ranges) and we will try to help you out. Keep eating gluten until all testing is complete (you might need an endoscopy next).

Hang in there!

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Also, Vera Salt and Ava Jane's taste SO MUCH BETTER. Not sharp, and i need to use a lot less.

      I've recently researched a lot about salt lately. Celtics sea salts have minerals, which have been tested to include aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, and microplastics. I used to use Redmond salt, but it tests as having aluminum, iron, and lead. I finally settled on 2 clean salts: Vera Salt, which you can only order from their web site. Also Ava Jane's which I got from Amazon. These are now the only 2 I use.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had horrible reaction to lisinopril, a severe cough that kept me up all night. The cough is apparently common. I did better with irbesartan, no cough, and it controlled my BP better too.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JohannesW85! Your physician gave you bad advice in telling you to avoid gluten until the hospital calls you. Reducing gluten intake will invalidate celiac disease blood antibody testing but it will also invalidate the gastroscopy/biopsy if there is significant time involved between removing gluten and when the procedure is scheduled. The endoscopy/biopsy serves the purpose of checking for the damage caused to the lining of the small bowel caused by the inflammation inherent in celiac disease to that section of the intestines. If you remove gluten ahead of the procedure for a period of weeks or months, there may be enough healing of the intestinal lining to prevent detection of damage. Gluten is hidden in many manufactured food products that you would never expect to find it in. It can also be found in medications, health supplements and oral hygiene products. It is easy to eat a lower gluten diet by cutting out major sources such as bread and pasta but much more difficult to achieve a truly gluten free state. There is significant learning curve involved. Current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" in preparing for celiac disease testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a period of at least 2 weeks. But I would certainly extend that time period to make sure the testing is valid. You might also be dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than Celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Hello everybody!  I am a Swedish guy 39 years old with typ 1 diabetes. I signed up on this forum because I need som help with my problems with my stomach that have been going for 2 years mabey a little more.  My problems is following: I have egg burps, its taste like rotten eggs also called sulphur burps, and it’s so horrible. After the burps mabey, a 4-5 hours, I must have a toilet nearby because then I have diarrhea. And that can last for a day mabey, sometimes a couple of hours. When I have going to the bathroom and the diarrhea is over no more burping. After wards I am so tired and get sometime headaches. When I got these episodes I must call in sick to my work because I can’t work I am so exhausted.    I have been to my house doctor and have taken tests. I took blood samples gluten and lactose. I have also this week taken feces samples, that I am gooing to leave to the doctor at the end of this week so they can take it into the lab.    When i first visit my doctor is was not my regularly house doctor, and he sad mabey it’s gluten so stay gluten free and see if helps. Well, I did it and like for 10 days everything was so good, I hade some constipation but no burps or loose stools. But then after those 10 days my doctor called me and asked me If  I had taken a test for gluten, which I had but she said ok but it’s negative have you been eaten gluten when you did take the test and I said no, so the test was negative of course.  She also had looking over my blood samples and I have  ”Postive for HLA-DQ2, subtype DQ2.5 ”  And because I have diabetes typ 1 the doctor wanted me too to go the hospital to get a gastroscopy. I am wating for my time in the line for do that. I have also for a month now getting some kind of rash, it looks like blisters don’t know if I can upload a picture to show it?  I try my best to be gluten free, but this weekend I was out with some friends but I drank gluten free beer but also redbull with vodka and I got really drunk and mabey I got my friends glass and I had been drinking regular beer no gluten free.  My doctor said stay gluten free until the hospital calls you. So I am, but still it can take 4-5 days I got egg burps and then diarrhea, and I can’t for my life figure out how i got gluten in me. The only thing that 3 weekends in a row now, I have been drinking beer gluten free and booze.  The booze have also been gluten free. Still when the weekend have passed by it got new episodes of burps and diarrhea. I have also have this kind of episodes when I’m not drinking any alkohol. We have also clean out everything that is gluten in our home.  I feel so confused about this, I mean is it so easy to get gluten in your body?    Sorry for long wall of text I hope you had the time to read everything.
