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.

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
