I'm looking for advice on whether my symptoms sound like celiac disease as i need to wait 5 weeks for an appointment for a blood test...over the last 3 months ive suddenly developed flaky dry skin on my cheeks and forehead. It's not it itchy but dry and red. I'm constantly exhausted and need to run to the toilet every time i eat and my face and body is bloated. I've had indigestion for years and diagnosed three times with H.Pylori but not at the moment. My tooth enamel is also deteriorating. Does this sound like celiac?

      Hello Dc91 and welcome to the forum! Could you first just add the lab ranges for us for your TTG IgA Antibodies as they vary?   Cristiana

      Sorry I should have said these bloods were taken Friday morning, a week after the first initial bloods. So I hadn’t starved myself of gluten before these bloods were taken.

      Celiac or not?

      By Dc91 · Posted

      Hi all, I’m new here and completely new to celiac.  last week I went to my doctors for acid reflux issues, she also took bloods and sent them off. Last Thursday I got my TTG IgA Antibodies test come back as >100u/ML which the doctor has referred me to the celiac team at my local hospital. I have stopped eating gluten since Friday morning. (I’m guessing this will take weeks or months to be seen)   earlier this evening I got a new result through for Endomysial IgA antibody = Weak positive.    I’m guessing this gives me the difinitive answer I’ve been looking for? A positive is a positive. any help would be greatly appreciated.
