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.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
