Hey,

I hope you can help me figure this out. I was tested a few months ago and while my antibodies are still high, I also noticed that my IgE was 195, normal range up to 100. I asked the doctor to retest me last week and they came back even higher. It is obvious that I am allergic to something but I have no clue what that could be. He said I will do an allergy test but did not specify what I will be tested for. I want to be prepared to ask to test for something specific.

 

I usually eat very well. Meats, lentils (marked gluten-free), soups, rice, corn pasta (sometimes), fruits, and veggies. I think it is a well-balanced diet. I might eat too much fruit and veggies when I am busy to cook so that might not be good but it does not happen often. Lately, since I have been worried about some symptoms, I realized that I could not eat much at all and I might have even experienced acid reflux. I never had something like that before. I felt that I needed to only eat rice, pasta, and potatoes. I lost some weight as well. However, I began eating more again.

 

Since it is a summer time and I am visiting my family, I try to eat food that is convenient and easy to make especially since kitchen is not gluten free but I do have my own dishes and towels. I really usually avoid dairy and do not eat eggs often but I have been regularly eating boiled eggs at home and ate some gluten free cheese (soft cheese-similar to feta). I stopped eating cheese again and I do not drink milk at all. So, I am wondering if it could be eggs, soy, nightshades.

 

I eat bananas, meat sometimes, potatoes, peppers and eggplants once in awhile, corn pasta. I rarely buy gluten free snacks but I know they have soy lecithin. 

 

Can you please let me know if you have any ideas what I should consider getting tested for? Are there any common food allergies for celiacs?

 

Thanks a lot!

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      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.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      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.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.
