Could you help with some results? Am I negative?

I'm not exactly sure what to do at this point if what I am reading is correct.

I don't want to go into too much detail right off the bat but I can tell you more if needed.

I had an allergy test done, they messed up the first time and did a small panel, but my Whey Allergin, IgG came back as 32.20. Ref range: 0-88.60 mcg/mL

In the notes it says "values less than 2.00 mcg/mL represent absent or undetectable levels of allergen-specific IgG anitibody. Values 2.00 mcg/mL and above indicate progressive increases in the relative concentration of allergen-specific IgG."

This is where my doctor sent back for a full 96 allergy test, but he was concerned about any cross-reactivity due to the Whey results so he requested a Celiac panel as well.

Everything on the food allergies came back as negative, besides some environmental allergies that were already tested previously and noted before.

Could you please tell me your thoughts on the results? I think they might be negative. But if so, what do I do now? Should I request some other testing? Let it go? I would love to get some relief though and find out what is wrong with me. I fell like I have many of the symptoms that have been attached with Celiac disease. Not that I'm saying I would like to be diagnosed with something but if I were diagnosed it would make my medical history make much more sense. If you would like more detail on symptoms I can outline them.

For Gluten Allergen, IgG, Casein Allergen, IgG and Whey Allergen, IgG (The Whey was the one on the first set of tests though) it says "Request Credited -- ORDINC; Test ordered incorrectly"

Here are the results for Celiac Disease Panel:

IgA - Result - Sufficient

Gliadin IgA Ab - Result - 10.3 -- Ref Range - 0.0-14.9

Tis.Transglut.Ab IgA - Result - <0.5 -- Ref Range - 0.0-14.9

the notes section is not helpful at all.

And I guess they didn't do the IgG so should I be asking them to do that? The doctor has to send it to a different lab than the one they use due to insurance.

 

Thank you all in advance!

The full celiac panel includes:

TTG IGA
TTG IGG
DGP IGA
DGP IGG
EMA
IGA

You have to be eating gluten daily for 12 weeks before the blood test. A positive on any one blood test should lead to a gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy /biopsies to confirm a celiac diagnosis.


So far you've tested negative on DGP IGA and TTG IGA. If you want to be certain you should get another blood test done to test the rest.

Thank you tessa25 I'm going to try to push for the full testing. Just to make sure. After that, I'm not sure what to look at next, but I would like to start feeling better.

      @jmiller93, Some of us are seronegative and don't test positive on tTg IgA tests.  Anemia, diabetes, and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac panels.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Iron? Thiamine?  Vitamin B12?  Vitamin D?  Only one Celiac markers is needed to develop the active disease.   I agree a gluten free diet trial is worth a try.

      @HWB, Have you been checked for SIBO?  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth will cause constipation and chemically breath.   The best way to get rid of SIBO is to go on a ketogenic/Paleo diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  It starves out the carbohydrate loving bacteria and allows good bacteria to repopulate the small intestine.   The SIBO bacteria can communicate with the brain along the gut-brain axis, making you crave carbs, and in return, the SIBO bacteria can mess with your immune system by lowering inflammation and producing endorphins.  So, it's no wonder you feel better eating sugar.   I took high dose (500-1000 mg/day) Benfotiamine (Thiamine) which promotes intestinal healing and helps keep bacterial in check.  Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses (500-1000 mg) every day are required to get results.  The body responds differently to high doses.  Got rid of my SIBO like this.  It was tough, but Celiac makes you stronger.

      Try whole milk yogurt.  I eat Stoneyfield vanilla.  Add fruit if you like.  Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ahd Manufacterers of no fat yogurt add various processed ingrediant that many Celiacs have digestive issues with such as gums.  Consider it processed food.  Fat is an important factor in our appestat to tell us we've eaten enough.  Remove fat and we eat more.  Compared to whole milk yogurt Chobani no fat greek yogurt has a cardboard mouth feel. Chobani no fat greek: Cultured Nonfat Milk, Cane Sugar, Black Cherries, Water, Fruit Pectin, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Locust Bean Gum, Lemon Juice Concentrate. 6 Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus Funny that since recommending low fat diets in the 1970's the US population has gone from 15% to 50% obese.

      Just had my daughter diagnosed and am currently awaiting blood test results for my son. As well as many bowel issues, mostly loose stools with mucus and lots of gassy moments sometimes leading to leaning stool, he has recently soiled himself in his sleep twice. He has been toilet trained for a long time, but is not waking up with the poo. It’s not just a little, it’s a lot.    We have had to make an appointment re his blood test results next week so will find out if it is coeliac too but I’m just wondering whether anyone else has had this? Ive read online that it could mean he’s constipated, but he poos all the time and it’s often soft, never hard.

      I know this isn't an IBS Forum, but it looks like they may have cracked the code on treating it.  They think the new discovery may make it possible to treat other autoimmune diseases.  Even if they develop a treatment I think I would continue eating strict gluten-free, but it may allow me to eat out gluten-free without the fear of being glutened.  That would be especially helpful when traveling.   I hope you find this article as promising as I did.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/scientists-have-discovered-a-cause-of-inflammatory-bowel-disease-they-said-it-s-a-holy-grail-discovery-
