Celiac Panel

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.

      Very helpful. Oh yes, I am quite fastidious about not falling off the diet. It's just that the list of things I must add to the restrictions seems to grow.

      I know this post is old but was wondering if you ever resolved this. My son is in the same situation. Villi healed but gastritis / duodenitis remain and calprotectin elevated. Now testing for crohns which I am freaking out about.

      I did a little research and one kind of aphthous ulcer (aka, canker sore) is the Herpetiform canker sore. It is well-known that celiac disease can cause a skin rash known as herpetiformis dermatitis. I can't help but wonder if there is a connection. Celiac disease is also listed in this article as a cause for canker sores: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/canker-sore/symptoms-causes/syc-20370615 Are you observing a strict gluten free diet? You might also look into reducing iodine consumption as that is known to help with herpetiformis dermatitis. Perhaps it will help with your canker sores as well.

      Do you wear an M-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour? Do you eat out in restaurants? Do you take vitamins?
