Hey everyone! I had a blood test on Tuesday and haven’t gotten a call from my doctor yet but received the results. Does anyone know if this panel points towards having celiac disease?

Yes, both your DGP tests are positive. Sure am glad they did the DGP tests on you b/c your TTG test shows a negative. Next step is an endoscopic biopsy. Keep eating gluten (no matter what ANYONE says) until you've had the endoscopy. You don't have to eat a lot, you can just have a couple crackers or a slice of bread each day OR you can go for broke & eat every gluten goody you can stuff down your throat. Go on a gluten goodbye binge.

Hi Mads,

Yes, you have a positive result on 2 separate antibodies to gliaden, a protein in wheat that people with celiac disease react to.  They will probably want to do an endoscopy next to take biopsy samples.  The biopsy samples can confirm the celiac diagnosis.  You should keep eating wheat until the endoscopy is done.

      Help with blood test result

      By trents · Posted

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.

      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.

      Waiting Too Long to Brush Teeth after Gluten

      By StrongerThanCeliac · Posted

      Hi,  I’ve noticed that it usually takes me about 5-6 days to recover from a glutening. I was just thinking and maybe I’m going crazy. Long story but I wasn’t able to brush my teeth for a couple days after being glutened. Is there a way the gluten could be like stuck in my teeth still and still causing some sort of reaction because I waited too long to brush? Or is that insane

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gluten is bad Hi!  I just caught this post, and am writing on the off-chance that you might be based in the UK.  If so, I was told some years ago by a pharmacist that in the UK that if a medicine has a Product Licence printed on the packaging, which will appear as the letters PL plus a long number.... for example....  PL 4525908 (making that number up!) it will be gluten free.   I have just checked this on an NHS website, and indeed it appears to be true.  According to the same website, all medications prescribed by GPs in the UK are gluten free. https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/food-and-nutrition/special-diets/gluten-free-diet/#medicines The same NHS website also makes a very good point.  You might take a gluten-free medication prescribed by a GP that might set off symptoms very similar to a glutening.  Like some meds cause stomach pain or diarrhea, but that doesn't mean they contain gluten. Obviously, if you are purchasing medication from overseas, the above might not apply. Hope this is helpful, and that you can get your medication soon - I have an acquaintance who has had to wait some time. Cristiana

      Help with blood test result

      I wonder if the tTG-Iga result isn't back yet as there is nothing next to that one, perhaps it takes a little longer.
